Adjustable sun visor apparatus
An adjustable sun visor apparatus having: an arm received into an open tube; 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 ball seat base configured to receive a portion of the ball; a bend-resistant spring configured to receive the plug and the arm; a first means and a second means for gripping a sun visor; the ball seat base being connected to the first means; wherein the tension spring biases the bend-resistant spring downwards; such that a movement of the sun visor causes the arm to move within the open tube 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.
MECHANISM FOR SUN VISOR EXTENSION
A vehicle visor includes a visor body having a recessed track assembly disposed therein. An extension blade is slideably mounted to the visor body between stowed and deployed positions. A connecting member includes first and second ends. The first end is received in the recessed track assembly for sliding movement along a continuous loop of the recessed track assembly. The second end is operably coupled to the extension blade for lateral movement therewith between stowed, deployed and clearance positions.
SUN VISOR
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.
ATTACHABLE SUN VISOR SYSTEM
An attachable sun visor system includes a sun visor extension assembly including a sun shade panel, an extendable rod having a first-end, a second-end, and a mounting member. The sun shade panel is configured to attach to a rod of a stationary sun visor in a vehicle and swivel from being adjacent to the stationary sun visor during non-use to being perpendicular to the stationary sun visor during an in-use condition to provide an effective shade area in combination with the stationary sun visor.
Mechanism for sun visor extension
A vehicle visor includes a visor body having an inner cavity with first and second channels disposed therein. A blade is slideably mounted to the first and second channels between extended and retracted positions by first and second rails of the blade that are slideably received in the first and second channels of the visor body. An adjustment knob is mounted on the visor body and includes a toothed outer perimeter that gearingly engages a toothed track disposed on the blade within the inner cavity. The adjustment knob further includes an exposed portion that is disposed outside of the inner cavity and accessible to a user for incremental rotation resulting in deployment or retraction of the blade.
Anti-glare device and method for automobiles
An anti-glare device for reducing night-time road glare includes an anti-glare panel for attenuating and/or filtering light traveling from a source of glare through the panel to a driver's eyes. The anti-glare panel is secured to a sun visor of an automobile via an attachment mechanism comprising an elastic member, which compresses around the sun visor. The anti-glare panel attaches to the elastic member via attachment arms of the anti-glare panel that are folded over and secured, forming loops through which the elastic member is threaded. The attachment mechanism can further comprise a secondary elastic member for holding the anti-glare panel in an inactive position when the device is not being used. Additionally, the horizontal width of the anti-glare panel can decrease over the panel's vertical length, forming a recess at the panel's bottom corner for allowing natural visibility of a center line and/or lane markings of the road.
Adjustable sun shield
An improved adjustable sun shield useable on the visor of a vehicle. The inventive sun shield provides significantly improved flexibility for placement of the shield so the shield may be selectively placed and located by a driver or passenger in a location that best blocks in-coming sunlight. Unlike prior art sun shields, which provide the user with limited options for placement (e.g., typically pivoting in single direction), the sun shield enables a user to position the shield at a plurality of locations and in a plurality of positions, thereby increasing the user's ability to block sunlight by placing the sun shield in the best location and position to accomplish this.
SUN VISOR ASSEMBLY HAVING A SLIDE PANEL
A sun visor assembly includes a visor body having a surface indentation, a slide panel and a guide feature. The guide feature connects the slide panel to the visor body and allows the slide panel to be displaced between a stowed position nested within the surface indentation and a deployed position projecting from the visor body to provide an expanded surface area for shielding the eyes of the driver from direct sunlight and/or glare.
