Feb 14, 1994

Appl. No.:

8/194887

Inventors:

Frank S. Nenstiel - Long Beach CA

International Classification:

B60J 300

US Classification:

16037021

Abstract:

A light blocking interior curtain for a vehicle windshield and side door windows that requires no periphery hardware or other fasteners that attach to the vehicle interior. The device is made of a flexible curtain material which covers the windshield and side door windows. The material covering the windshield portion, forms two horizontally aligned slits which allow the vehicle's existing sun visors to pass through and support the curtain. The slits are fitted with a visor pocket structure that encloses the sun visor and provides added support and strength to the curtain. The end portions of the curtain are fitted with horizontal protrusions attached to the outside facing surface and provide support for the side door window portion when held firmly between the glass and the door frame when the window is raised. To reduce the tendency of the material to sag between the visor supported areas, a tension adjusting feature is provided using touch fastener material attached to the curtain generally between horizontal slits and on the inside facing surface.
