A retractable vehicle windshield sunshade device. The device is primarily comprised of a base that houses at least one sunshade or sun screen, and at least one upper attachment member. The base is designed to attach to the dashboard of a vehicle at least one attachment fastener. The upper attachment member attaches to the interior of a vehicle windshield also via a fastener such that when the user desires to deploy the sun screen/shade over the windshield, a user can pull the screen from the base toward the upper attachment member. Then, an attachment point on the screen can be removably secured to an attachment point on the upper attachment member to hold the screen in position.

An improved adjustable sun shield useable on the visor of a vehicle. The inventive sun shield provides significantly improved flexibility for placement of the shield so the shield may be selectively placed and located by a driver or passenger in a location that best blocks in-coming sunlight. Unlike prior art sun shields, which provide the user with limited options for placement (e.g., typically pivoting in single direction), the sun shield enables a user to position the shield at a plurality of locations and in a plurality of positions, thereby increasing the user's ability to block sunlight by placing the sun shield in the best location and position to accomplish this.

A method for reducing reflection when operating a head-up display of a motor vehicle. The head-up display includes a covering disk element and a dimming element for dimming a deflected light beam of ambient light. A control device determines a light beam path of the deflected light beam, determines a current position and orientation of the dimming element, and determines a region to be kept free of the deflected light beam around the eye point of a user. Based on this, the control device determines whether the deflected light beam passes through the area to be kept free. If so, the control device generates a control signal for adjusting a position of the dimming element to dim the deflected light beam with an adjustment device, and the adjustment device adjusts the position of the dimming element depending on the control signal.

New optic control systems are provided that manage camera, user or environmental movement and other factors impacting optical and resulting image quality. In some aspects of the invention, a variably, directionally shadable screen and actuating system is provided, which prevents and limits problematic glare for an observation point. In other aspects of the invention, a matrix of specialized pixels creates variably-directed light from a plurality of angle-directable, shiftable sources, which aids in creating virtual, 3-D objects of greater realism than conventional 3-D imaging methods and aid in reducing the appearance of distracting interceding objects (e.g., finger blocking a touch screen). In these aspects, existing images and objects viewed through a screen may be enhanced and overlaid with effects and demonstrative information related to the overlaid images and objects and an environment. In still other aspects of the invention, electromagnetically actuated optical control techniques, including rotational lenses and sensors, are provided.

A wire frame visor includes a generally U-shaped wire frame having inwardly extending spaced-apart opposed ends. An envelope of sun-blocking material is fastened over the generally rectangular wire frame. A mounting structure pivotally receives the opposed ends of the wire frame and is adapted to be secured to a location in a vehicle for use of the visor. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the mounting structure includes at least one adjustable torque clip which receives an inwardly projecting end of the wire frame to control the pivotal motion of the visor. In one embodiment the torque clip includes a loop which surrounds the end of the wire frame and an adjustment screw for tightening the loop around the wire end. Straps can be employed to attach the mounting structure to a side tubular member of a vehicle when so equipped.

An automatic reset device for curtain pull bar is fixed on a rod of a curtain fabric and comprises a fixed base, a pull bar having a handle, and a torsion-supplying element. One end of a rotation axis of the pull bar is located at the fixed base, and the pull bar can be rotated relative to the fixed base. The torsion-supplying element that preserves torsion is connected between the pull bar and the fixed base. When the curtain fabric is furled and the pull bar is released, the pull bar is automatically rotated and reset by the preserved torsion force of the torsion-supplying element. The handle of the pull bar will not collide with the door trim of a vehicle, and the abutting pressure forced against the door trim by the handle of the pull bar can be efficiently controlled.

A vehicle glare blocking system comprising automatically optically detecting when an oncoming vehicle with lit headlights is approaching the driver and automatically operating an electric motor to close the slats of a window blind attached to the driver's side of a vehicle's windshield to block the glare, and automatically optically detecting when no oncoming vehicle with lit headlights is approaching the driver and automatically operating the electric motor to open the slats to allow the driver to see through the slats.

A multifunction, retractable sun shielding apparatus. A retractable screen, a housing configured to receive and contain the retractable screen upon retracting the screen, and a drive mechanism attached to longitudinal edges of the screen, and configured to drive the screen in directions of retraction and deployment. A power switch may be provided that is actuatable by an operator to drive the drive mechanism to deploy or retract the retractable screen. An interlock automatically stops deployment of the retractable screen at a first predefined position where the screen functions as a visor with regard to an adjacent windshield, and a second predefined position where the screen fully covers the adjacent windshield.

In a motor vehicle, a method and apparatus for blocking glare from the sun includes a sun shield which is positioned to block the glare. The sun shield has a connector for attaching the sun shield to the vehicle, and has a plurality of rotationally positionable blades. The sun shield is attached to the vehicle, and one or more of the blades is rotated to block the glare. The sun shield may be attached to the vehicle's visor or to the side window.
