Abstract
A portable light filtering device includes at least two sheets of polarized film material. Each of the at least two sheets are mounted on separate mounting rings that rotate relative to one another such that when the lines of polarization are perpendicular to one another, the amount of light that can pass through is minimized and when the lines of polarization are parallel, the amount of light that can pass through is maximized. The separate mounting rings are held together in a rotational relationship and include a mounting bracket to removeably attach the device to a car window, to the ledge of a car door or to any desired window from which light screening is desired.
Claims10
A portable light filtering device for windows comprising:
- a. an inner screen and an outer screen, each of said screens comprised of a polarized film material;
- b. said inner screen being secured to an inner mounting ring with an inner retaining ring and said outer screen being secured to an outer mounting ring with an outer retaining ring;
- c. said inner mounting ring having a top inner shoulder on an inner circumference of said inner mounting ring and said outer mounting ring having a bottom inner shoulder on an inner circumference of said outer mounting ring;
- d. a coupling ring having a coupling gap on an interior circumference of said coupling ring;
- e. said inner mounting ring and said outer mounting ring being in rotatable contact with each other;
- said top inner shoulder of said inner mounting ring and said bottom inner shoulder of said outer mounting ring being slideably engaged with said coupling gap of said coupling ring whereby each of said coupling rings are slideably engaged and whereby said inner screen and said outer screen can rotate relative to one another.
A method of constructing a light filtering device for windows comprising the steps of:
- a. securing an inner screen comprised of a polarized film material to an inner mounting ring with an inner retaining ring;
- b. securing an outer screen comprised of a polarized film material to an outer mounting ring with an outer retaining ring;
- c. providing a top inner shoulder on an inner circumference of said inner mounting ring;
- d. providing a bottom inner shoulder on an inner circumference of said outer mounting ring;
- e. forming a coupling gap on a coupling ring on an interior circumference of said coupling ring;
- e. assembling said inner mounting ring and said outer mounting ring in rotatable contact with each other;
- f. engaging said top inner shoulder of said inner mounting ring and said bottom inner shoulder of said outer mounting ring in a slideable relationship with said coupling gap of said coupling ring whereby each of said coupling rings rotate relative to one another and whereby said inner screen and said outer screen can rotate relative to one another.
