Abstract
A light blocking system, apparatus and device which substantially reduces or eliminates light transmission from occurring in that area surrounding a vehicle's rear view mirror between the vehicle's visors. In one embodiment, the present invention is of sufficient width and height to substantially cover the sunlight transmission area while allowing operation of the vehicle, the apparatus including a notch adapted to receive an arm which connects the rear view mirror to the main viewing window; and a coupling system on the apparatus, the coupling system adapted to removably secure the apparatus into and from the sunlight transmission area.
Claims20
A method for substantially reducing glare from sunlight when operating a vehicle having at least one pair of visors adjacent to a main viewing window, the visors spaced sufficiently apart from each other and from the vehicle's rear view mirror thereby defining a sunlight transmission area, the method comprising the steps of:
- introducing a light blocking apparatus, the apparatus being of sufficient width, height and shape to substantially cover the sunlight transmission area while allowing operation of the vehicle;
- and
- allowing the apparatus to be removably securable to the rear view mirror in the sunlight transmission area by a coupling system.
An article of manufacture for substantially reducing glare from sunlight when operating a vehicle having at least one pair of visors adjacent to a main viewing window, the visors spaced sufficiently apart from each other and from the vehicle's rear view mirror thereby defining a sunlight transmission area, the apparatus comprising:
- a light blocking apparatus, the apparatus being of sufficient width and height to substantially cover the sunlight transmission area while allowing operation of the vehicle, the apparatus including a notch adapted to receive an arm which connects the rear view mirror to the main viewing window;
- and
- a coupling system on the apparatus, the coupling system adapted to removably secure the apparatus into and from the sunlight transmission area.
A device for shielding sunlight transmission that occurs in a sunlight transmission area in a vehicle, the vehicle having at least one pair of visors adjacent to a main viewing window, the visors spaced sufficiently apart from each other and from the vehicle's rear view mirror thereby defining the sunlight transmission area, the device comprising a sunlight deflection apparatus of substantially the same material, the apparatus being of sufficient width, height and shape to substantially or completely cover the sunlight transmission area, the device adapted to be removably securable to the rear view mirror by a coupling system.
