Modular sun visor system
First Claim
1. A visor assembly for a vehicle, comprising:
- (a) a mount assembly secured to a portion of the vehicle, the mount assembly having a rotation axis;
(b) a first visor rotatably mounted to the mount assembly to be selectively moveable about the rotation axis between a first stowed position and a first deployed position extending downward from the mount assembly, the first visor having a first face and a second face, the first visor being at least partially translucent; and
(c) a second visor rotatably mounted to the mount assembly, the second visor being selectively movable about the rotation axis between a second stowed position and a second deployed position extending downward from the mount assembly, the second visor having a first face and a second face, the first face of the second visor being proximate to the second face of the first visor when the first visor is in the first deployed position and the second visor is in the second deployed position, wherein at least a portion of light traveling through the first visor exits the second face of the first visor and strikes the first face of the second visor.

Abstract
A visor assembly for a vehicle includes a mount assembly secured to a portion of the vehicle. The visor assembly further includes a first visor mounted to the mount assembly to be selectively rotated between a first stowed position and a first deployed position. The first visor is at least partially translucent and has a first face and a second face. A second visor is mounted to the mount assembly to be selectively rotatable between a second stowed position and a second deployed position. A first face of the second visor is positioned adjacent to the second face of the first visor when the first visor is in the first deployed position and the second visor is in the second deployed position. At least a portion of light traveling through the first visor exits the second face of the first visor and strikes the first face of the second visor.

9. A visor assembly mountable to a vehicle, the visor assembly comprising:
-
(a) a rod mounted within the vehicle, the rod defining a central axis; (b) a first visor rotatably coupled to the rod, the first visor being selectively rotatable about the central axis between a first stowed position and a first deployed position, the first visor having a first visible light transmission (VLT) percentage, and (c) a second visor rotatably coupled to the rod, the second visor being selectively rotatable about the central axis between a second stowed position and a second deployed position, the second visor having a second VLT percentage, wherein the first and second visors extend downward from the rod in the first and second deployed positions, respectively, so that the first and second visors are in a line of sight of a vehicle operator. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 13)
