Claims30
A visor system for a vehicle comprising:
- a visor including a plurality of horizontally extending elongated generally rectangular panels arranged in sliding overlapping relationship to each other;
- and
- means for mounting said panels for movement between a stored substantially overlapped position adjacent a vehicle roof to extended positions covering a vehicle window, wherein said panels are interconnected by means of a pair of flexible spaced ribbons coupled to each panel.
A curved visor system for full coverage of a vehicle windshield comprising:
- a segmented visor comprising sections of thin flexible material which substantially overlie one another in a compact stored position but which extend to substantially non-overlying relationship when extended;
- and
- a pair of flexible arms extendable from the vehicle roof in a fore and aft direction and in spaced relationship to the windshield for supporting said sections thereon.
A visor system for a vehicle window comprising:
- a visor including at least three relatively thin flexible generally horizontally extending panels mounted in sliding overlapping relationship to each other and means coupling said panels to each other for movement between a stored substantially overlapped position adjacent the vehicle roof to extended positions covering the vehicle window;
- and
- means for mounting said visor to a vehicle roof.
A visor system for a vehicle window comprising:
- a visor including a plurality of relatively thin generally horizontally extending panels mounted in sliding overlapping relationship to each other and means coupling said panels to each other for movement between a stored substantially overlapped position adjacent the vehicle roof to extended positions covering the vehicle window;
- and
- means for mounting said visor to a vehicle roof, wherein said panels include flexible means interconnecting adjacent panels.
A visor system for a vehicle windshield comprising:
- a visor including a plurality of relatively thin generally horizontally extending panels mounted in sliding overlapping relationship to each other and means coupling said panels to each other for movement between a stored substantially overlapped position adjacent the vehicle roof to extended positions covering the vehicle window;
- means for mounting said visor to a vehicle roof;
- and
- a side panel pivotally mounted to opposite ends of one of said panels to fill in the corners of the vehicle windshield when the visor is fully extended.
