Adjustable window tinting system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A new adjustable window tinting system for a vehicle having a plurality of window glass, said system comprising:
- a tinting means for selectively tinting at least one of said plurality of window glass for limiting a passage of light therethrough;
the tinting means comprising an electochromatic glass, and rheostat, said rheostat being electrically connected to both said electrochromatic glass and a power source, the electrochromatic glass comprising a pair of glass panes positioned in a substantially coplanar relationship so as to define a space therebetween, a pair of conductors having a distance therebetween and disposed within said space, and an electrochromatic conductive polymer disposed within said space, said electrochromatic conductive polymer being in electrical communication with said pair of conductors, said electrochromatic conductive polymer comprising an oxidized conductive polymer selected from the group consisting of polyacetylene, poyerinaphthalene, and polynaphthalene.

Abstract
A selectively variable window tinting system for limiting a passage of both visible light and radiative heat through an automobile window. Embodiments of the system include window glass assemblies which utilize photochromatic glass, electrochromatic glass, and a pair of spaced glass panes fillable with a tinted fluid. The latter embodiment also utilizes a plurality of differently tinted fluids which may be selectively injected between the glass panes to provide various amounts of tinting therein.
