Light-reducing devices that can be removably attached to a window or other panel through which light is able to pass, and methods of using such devices. Such a light-reducing device includes a tinted flexible transparent sheet and a microsuction tape adhered to the tinted flexible transparent sheet. The microsuction tape has a surface with micrometer-sized cavities that create a vacuum when the surface is pressed against a window. At least the surface of the tape is formed of a material that is sufficiently pliable and elastic so that each of the cavities forms a seal against the window and individual vacuums created between the surface and the window releasably secure the light-reducing device to the window when subjected to only the weight of the light-reducing device, but the light-reducing device can be peeled from the window.

A vehicle window shade assembly includes panel cut into a shape of a vehicle window. The panel is flexible and opaque. The panel has a first side, a second side and a perimeter edge. The second side has a plurality of suction cups extending away therefrom. The suction cups are arranged in a grid pattern of columns and rows forming a plurality of rectangular sections. The suction cups are attached to an interior surface of the vehicle window.

Disclosed is improved interior sunshade that can be used inside a window of a building and/or can be configured to be used with an automobile window. By adding easy-flex-arch and bypass bend features with a fabric hinge that is up to 15 inches wider; a sunshade can be configured to fit multiple dimensions of windows.

A vehicle side-window sun shield detachably mounts to a vehicle side-window to block sunlight from the outer arm of the driver or passenger in a vehicle. The sun shield includes a flat lower portion panel having two legs that fit into the slot between the window and rubber strip along window. The sun shield also includes a flat upper portion panel integrally formed with the lower portion panel. Upper portion panel is disposed at an angle of at least 45° relative to the lower portion panel to shade the outer arm from the ultra violet light of the sun. The upper portion panel extends towards the interior of the vehicle above the driver or passenger arm to block sunlight. The upper portion panel may extend out 5¼″ over the arm of the driver. A film overlays the panels to block the ultraviolet light of sun.

Improvements in a removable sun visor for car windows is disclosed. The visor uses a rotatable and removable window clip so the user can install and move the visor when needed to block or filter sunlight from entering the vehicle. The clip can also be rotated and locked on an angled side of a window to block or filter light that can enter the vehicle from a far forward edge. The rotating feature has locks or detents to hold the visor at the adjusted angle. The rotatable clip can further be positioned on either side of the visor for positioning on either side of a vehicle. There is also an adjustable tinted window that allows the user to look through the tinted portion. Side portions can be moved in or out of the main housing to block light. Magnets can be used to secure moving members.

An airbus sunshade is shown and described. The airbus sunshade includes a first material configured to dim sunlight. An adhesive layer added to the sunshade, wherein the adhesive does not leave a residue. The first material of the sunshade is shaped to fit a side window of an airbus.

An open roof construction includes a rollo screen and a winding shaft. The screen includes a screen edge which is attached to a stationary member. An operating beam on an opposite edge is movable parallel to the opening in correspondence with the amount of screen wound on or off the winding shaft. The screen has two longitudinal edges which, when the screen is wound off, are brought into engagement with holding members extending alongside the longitudinal edges of the roof opening. The holding members each comprise at least a groove having an elongated opening. An edge area near each edge of the screen is insertable into the respective groove together with a locking member clamping the screen in the groove. The locking member, the edge area of the screen and the groove having a shape and/or dimension preventing the locking member from unintentionally leaving the groove through the entrance opening.

Methods and apparatus are provided for automatically selecting and deploying a vehicle sunshade in response to vehicle orientation and sun position to reduce vehicle cabin thermal buildup. The apparatus includes a light sensor operative to measure a light intensity, a first sunshade operative to selectively provide a first light reflective surface proximate to a first glass surface wherein the first vehicle glass surface has a first orientation, a second sunshade operative to selectively provide a second light reflective surface to a second glass surface wherein the second vehicle glass surface has a second orientation, and a processor operative to determine a vehicle orientation and a sun location in response to the vehicle orientation and to engage first sunshade in response to the sun location and the first orientation such that the first sunshade is operative to reflect light transmission through the first vehicle glass.
