Abstract
This glare shield includes a first rectangular panel (20) with a pair of spaced-apart spring clips (24) for removably attaching the same to the vehicle sun visor (10). A second rectangular panel (30) is hingedly connected along one edge of the first rectangular panel (20) and may be latched in side-by-side relationship with the first panel or may be lowered into the line of vision of the person seated in the vehicle to protect the eyes from severe glare by the sun. The second panel (30) is of a semi-transparent nature so that it lessens the glaring rays of the sun but does not obscure visual images. Male hinge members (33) and female hinge members (35) are integrally molded with the first panel (20) and the second panel (30) and are arranged so that the second panel (30) may be easily removed from and attached to the first panel (20).
