A cockpit window panel that is easily installed and removed that reduces glare and heat and improves overall cockpit environment and pilot comfort. The panels include a clear polycarbonate sheet contoured to match an aircraft window, a bonding film applied to the polycarbonate sheet and a tinted film applied to the bonding film. The polycarbonate panel is bound by a flexible trim having a channel frictionally received over the peripheral edge of the panel and a conformable gasket that engages the interior window ledges when the panel is in an installed position. At least one pull tab is provided along the edge of the panel. The panels are easily installed by simply pressing them into place within the window well and secured by friction through the conformable gasket trim.

A retractable windshield film apparatus for reducing glare includes a film housing having a slot extending therethrough. An axle coaxially extends within the film housing. A spring is coupled to the axle. A spool is coupled to the spring coaxially to the axle. A tinted film has a fixed end coupled to the spool and a free end extending through the slot. A lead bar is coupled to the free end of the tinted film. A track is coupled to the film housing. The track has a housing end coupled to the film housing and a distal end. The lead bar is slidably engageable within the track. An engagement mechanism is coupled to the distal end of the track to secure the tinted film in the alternate extended position. Each of the film housing and the track are configured to attach to a windshield of a car.

A self-adhering sunshade including a self-adhering layer detachably coupleable to a window, and a protective layer coupled to the self-adhering layer and configured to block sunlight, ultraviolet light and heat from passing through.

A vehicle includes an A-pillar, a windshield, a receiver, and a visor assembly, including an engagement feature that moves from a first position to a second position, and a biasing feature that biases the engagement feature toward the first position in the second position of the engagement feature. The visor assembly is operable between a stowed condition, wherein the engagement feature is in the first position and the engagement feature and the receiver are in a spaced relationship, and a deployed condition, wherein the engagement feature is in the second position and contact between the engagement feature and the receiver maintains the engagement feature in the second position against the bias of the biasing feature.

An automotive solar protection plate, which is located hung on the side window of a car, through the use of fins or tongues that are an integral part of the plate and made from the same material, being plate and fins only one piece. The plate is adapted to be placed both on slightly curved windows or on straight windows of vehicles of different types (cars, trucks, off-road vehicles and others).

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.

The present disclosure provides a vehicle driving shading device, a vehicle and a vehicle driving shading method. The vehicle driving shading method includes collecting light intensity of a driving environment; controlling shading rate of a shading area in a shading screen according to the light intensity of the driving environment.

An anti-glare device includes a light shield of which light transmittance of irradiated light is changed; an illuminance detector that detects intensity of the irradiated light; a light-shield controller that controls light transmittance of the light shield based on a detection result of the illuminance detector; and a power controller that controls power supplied to the light-shield controller based on the detection result of the illuminance detector. The power controller reduces the power supplied to perform an anti-glare operation when the intensity of the irradiated light is low.
