Disclosed are light glare reducing apparatuses and related methods. A light glare reducing apparatus includes a first polarized body, a second polarized body, and a movable coupling that attaches the second polarized body to the first polarized body with the second polarized body at least partially overlapping the first polarized body. The first polarized body includes a first polarized material that is optically polarized in a first direction relative to the first polarized body. The second polarized body includes a second polarized material that is optically polarized in a second direction relative to the second polarized body. The movable coupling is configured to enable the second polarized body to move relative to the first polarized body to change an angle of the second direction relative to the first direction.

A device for shielding an outdoor camera from light interference. The light shielding device includes a visor having a brim perpendicularly and pivotally connected to a panel, wherein the panel can rest flush against a support and the brim extends over a camera in order to shield the camera lens from direct sunlight and inclement weather. A first strap extends from a first side of the panel and a second strap extending from a second side of the panel, wherein a distal end of each of the first and second strap removably secure to one another to form a loop. A male and female fastener are disposed at the distal ends of each strap and removably secure the device to the support. In some embodiments, a plurality of teeth extend from an interior side of the panel and can penetrate the support for further securing the device thereto.

The present disclosure discloses a sun visor comprising: a supporting portion (1); a liquid crystal panel (5) fixed onto the supporting portion, or provided integrally with the supporting portion; a first light barrier (4) at least including two kinds of state: expanded and storage, wherein the first light barrier is parallel with the liquid crystal panel when in the expanded state, and an orthographic projection of the liquid crystal panel on the first light barrier falls into the first light barrier; a photosensitive sensor (8) for detecting an intensity of an interference light; and a control circuit connected with the photosensitive sensor and the liquid crystal panel, for adjusting a driving voltage with respect to the liquid crystal panel according to a detection result of the photosensitive sensor.

The idea of this invention is to increase the visibility of the road and traffic signals for drivers as they are driving facing the sun directly. The main concept is to block the sun rays completely from the road view without darkening the total view through the visor shades.

The invention still uses a light shaded panel attached to the visor to reduce the glare from the entire view, but in addition, it eliminates completely sun rays going straight to the eyes. This elimination concept is achieved by creatively placing two dark blocking circles on the shade to stop the sun rays going directly to the eyes.

A vehicle visor accessory device for selectively extending shading capabilities of a visor may comprise a sleeve structure configured to removably mount on the visor. The sleeve structure may be elongated with an upper end for positioning toward the upper edge section of the visor and a lower end for positioning toward the lower edge section of the visor, and have a first opening located at a first side edge of the sleeve structure through which a portion of the visor is slidable. A notch may be formed in the sleeve structure. An extension structure may be integrated with the sleeve structure. The sleeve structure may have a substantially hollow interior between first and second faces to slidably receive at least a portion of the visor and the extension structure may have a solid interior between the faces to extend light blocking coverage of the visor.

A device for articulably mounting a sun shield within a motor vehicle includes a mounting member, a sun shield holder and a connecting member. The mounting member releasably secures the device to a visor of the sun motor vehicle. The sun shield holder attaches the device to the sun shield. The connecting member connects the mounting member and the sun shield holder. In one embodiment the connecting member defining at least one ball and socket joint. In another embodiment, the connecting member defines a single pivot axis about which the sun shield may rotate relative to the mounting member in a plane of the planar sun shield.

An adjustable sun visor apparatus having: a bar received into an open-pipe arm; an auxiliary visor panel; a ball; a plug; a tension spring; a ball compartment configured to house the ball and the plug and pivot around the ball; a vertical clip configured to receive a portion of the ball and to grip a sun visor; a bend-resistant spring configured to receive the plug and the open-pipe arm; a twin capsule configured to receive the ball and the tension spring; wherein the tension spring biases the bend-resistant spring downwards; such that a movement of the sun visor causes the bar to move within the open-pipe arm and thus prevents a movement of the auxiliary visor panel; such that the sun visor blocks light from the front and the auxiliary visor panel blocks light from the side in a vehicle.

The invention relates to an extendable sun visor for a vehicle, comprising a base plate for providing a base area of shadowing, a first movable plate which is connected to the base plate and which is movable in relation to the base plate for providing a first additional area of shadowing, at least one second movable plate which is connected to the base plate and which is movable in relation to both the base plate and the first movable plate for providing at least one second additional area of shadowing, the at least one second additional area of shadowing being different from said first additional area of shadowing, and an actuating structure for actuating a movement of the at least one second movable plate when the first moveable plate is moved. A vehicle comprising such an extendable sun visor is also provided.

Disclosed herein are accessory devices and systems for vehicles including: a base plate assembly comprising a base plate and an articulating bracket, the base plate configured to be fixedly secured to a portion of a vehicle and the articulating bracket configured to be releasably secured to the vehicle using the base plate at a plurality of locations; and at least one auxiliary visor panel or accessory connected to the base plate assembly. Also disclosed herein are method of using the disclosed devices and systems for interchangeably moving the base plate assembly with connected auxiliary visor panel or accessory between vehicles.
