  • One end of the fastening strap (6) is attached to the bottom of the base plate (2) and the other end is attached to the top of the base plate (2).
  • the two ends of the fastening strap (6) can and should be attached, respectively, to an upper loop (71) and a bottom loop (72) on the base plate (2).
  • the loops (71) (72) can and should be an integral part of the base plate (2) and are in fact two elongated holes in the base plate (2).
  • the fastening strap (6) can be made from two pieces that are connected using Velcro or an elastic band with Velcro.
  • the base plate (2) also has a peripheral rim (8) that wraps around the base plate's perimeter.
  • the peripheral rim has the same shape as the base plate (2) perimeter except for the upper part that forms the tongue-like projection, which constitutes the attaching device (4).
  • the peripheral rim (8) has protrusions (81) around its perimeter that fit into corresponding holes (21) in the base plate (2), fastening the peripheral rim (8) to the base plate (2).
  • the reflector (3) is made of a transparent (or partially transparent) plastic material, and should be coated with an anti-glare, anti-radiation material.
  • the reflector (3) is made of a very thin, flat material and has the general shape of a rectangle. The inventor believes that the plate should be 340 mm long, 140 mm wide and 3mm thick, although the invention and the patent application relate to and cover other measurements as well.
  • the reflector (3) includes a relatively small magnet (9) (or any other magnetized material), which can and should be 40 mm long, 5 mm wide, and 5 mm high, although the invention and the patent application cover other measurements as well.
  • the magnet (9) is attached to the reflector (3) and protrudes from it both inward, towards the interior of the vehicle, and outward, towards the front windshield.
  • the magnet (9) is used to attach the reflector (3) to the base plate (2) and serves also as a handle for moving the reflector (3) on the base plate (2).
  • the reflector (3) can include several small rough surfaces (31) to help the driver position the reflect
  • Drawing No. 1 depicts the base plate (2), including a double clip (4) attaching device, a peripheral rim (8) with protrusions designed to be inserted into holes (21), and a fastening strap (6) whose ends are attached to an upper loop (71) and a lower loop (72).
  • Drawing No. 2 depicts the same base plate (2).
  • Drawings Nos. 3 and 4 depict the reflector (3) with a magnet (9) and two roughened surfaces (31).
  • Connecting the base plate (2) to the existing sun visor (5) is easy, quick, and very simple.
  • the user folds down the existing sun visor (5) and attaches the base plate (2) to it, so that the base plate is parallel to the existing sun visor and faces the interior of the vehicle with the clip tongues (4) attached to the top of the existing sun visor (5), as depicted in
  • the existing sun visor (5) can be flipped downward and the reflector (3) can be slid downwards or sideways on the base plate (2) to extend the area blocking the direct sunlight.
  • the fact that the reflector (3) is transparent (either totally or partially) enables the user to see the road well and at the same time prevents glare, heat, and UV radiation.
  • the reflector (3) can also be used when the existing sun visor (5) is turned sideways (over the driver's side window or the front seat passenger's side window).
  • Drawing No. 7 depicts the reflector (3) attached to the base plate (2) and turned sideway and down.
  • the sun visor (1) offers the driver (and passenger) protection from sun glare and at the same time enables them to see clearly the road.
  • the second embodiment of the invention refers to a sun visor (1) as described above, whereby the base plate (2) is an integral part of the vehicle's existing sun visor and the reflector (3) can be attached to it directly.
  • vehicle companies can manufacturer the vehicle with the base plate (2) already attached to the existing sun visor.

  • the reflector (3) which has a magnetic strip, is attached to the said base plate (2).
  • the reflector plate (3) itself be attached permanently to the existing sun visor in such a way that the user can slide it over the base plate (2) to block the sun.
  • Such implementation of the invention will save the need for attaching devises or fastening straps to attach the base plate (2) to the existing sun visor.
  • Safety features of the sun visor (1) It is obvious that if the reflector (3) slides off of the base plate (2), i.e. the magnetic hold the reflector (3) has on the base plate (2) is loosened, for instance in case of an accident or sudden stopping of the vehicle, it might hit the passengers.
  • the inventor added two innovative safety features to the sun visor (1): a vertical longitudinal protrusion (25) (hereinafter the "longitudinal protrusion") and a safety plate (20).
  • the longitudinal protrusion (25) is depicted, for instance, in Drawing No. 11 in which the base plate (2) is shown with a longitudinal protrusion (25) that runs along the bottom edge and two side edges of the base plate (2).
  • a vertical longitudinal protrusion (85) can be added along the bottom edge and two side edges of the peripheral rim (8), as depicted for instance in Drawing No. 12.
  • This longitudinal protrusion (85) can be implemented in addition to, or instead of, the longitudinal protrusion (25) on the base plate (2).
  • the safety plate (20) has the same general shape as the base plate (2) and is attached, at its upper edge, to the upper edge of the base plate (2).
  • the joint between the two plates is slightly springy such that although the safety plate (20) is parallel to the base plate (2) and is tightly secured to it, the user can slightly raise its bottom edge and insert the reflector (3) in between the base plate (2) and the safety plate (20).
  • the reflector (3) is inserted in between the base plate (2) and the safety plate (20) and the two plates have a tight hold on the reflector (3)
  • the user can slide the reflector (3) over the base plate (2) as desired and the reflector (3) will stay in place between the two plates (2) (20) even in case of an accident or sudden stop, since the magnet (9) is stopped by the longitudinal protrusion (25) or (85).
  • Drawing No. 13 depicts the safety plate (20) attached to the base plate (2)
  • Drawing No. 14 depicts the safety plate (20) attached to the base plate (2) with the reflector (3) in between them.
