Abstract: |
A pair of glare shields have ball-shaped ends releasably engageable with several brackets attached at fixed locations adjacent the windshield of a motor vehicle. In one embodiment the brackets are formed with sockets and resilient members that releasably hold the ball-shaped ends. In a second embodiment the brackets are formed with sockets and magnetic members that releasably hold the ball-shaped ends. In both embodiments the driver or front seat passenger may elect to have both shields in a generally planar relation with the windshield, or a choice may be made as to whether either shield is in a planar relation with the windshield in front of the driver or in front of the passenger with the other shield angling rearwardly away from the windshield at the left of the driver, between the driver and passenger, or at the right of the passenger. In this way the two glare shields can be individually swung into a number of sun-obstructing positions, the user selecting an arrangement most effective for the particular light conditions then being encountered.
