Sun filter for a louver panel
First Claim
1. A sun filter to alter the light transmitting characteristics of a transparent louver panel having opposite edges separated by a distance d comprising:
- (a) a non-opaque, resilient filter panel defining first and second edges; and
,(b) first and second frictional attachment legs extending from the first and second edges of the panel with the closest portions of the legs being separated a distance less than d such that the legs snap over and frictionally contact the opposite edges of the louver panel to removably attach the sun filter to the louver panel.

Abstract
A sun filter for a glass louver panel is disclosed which filters out the heat, glare and the ultraviolet rays which normally penetrate through the glass. The sun filter is formed of a resilient, plastic material such that it may be easily snapped over the existing louver panel without dismantling the panel from its support structure or in any way interfering with the normal operation of the louver panel. The filter has a resilient filter panel which bears against a face of the louver panel and frictional attaching legs which frictionally engage opposite edges of the louver panel to removably affix the sun filter to the panel.
