Abstract

A visor attachment removably attached to a sun visor in a vehicle. The visor attachment comprises a base, a casing mounted on the base, a mirror pivotably mounted on the casing, a mirror cover pivotably mounted on top of the mirror, a filter plate extending downward from the casing, and a pair of lamps adjacent to the mirror. The filter plate is coated with a paste that prevents ultraviolet rays from passing therethrough. The visor attachment further comprises a pair of opaque visor extensions that are slidably mounted within the casing and may be extracted therefrom when pulled in a horizontal direction away from the casing.

Claims

1. A visor attachment that is clipped onto the sun visor of a vehicle, comprising:

a base;

a casing mounted on the base, said casing having a vertical slot thereon;

. a mirror pivotably mounted on said casing, wherein said mirror covers the slot when lying flush with said casing;

a mirror cover pivotably mounted to said casing, wherein said mirror cover allows selective covering and exposing of said mirror;

a filter plate slidably mounted within said casing, wherein said filter plate may be extracted downward from within said casing, said filter plate coated with a paste that prevents ultraviolet radiation from passing therethrough;

a grip mounted on said filter plate, said grip located within said slot of said casing, wherein said grip is selectively moved within said slot to appropriately position said filter plate relative to said casing; and

a pair of lamps along side said mirror.

2. The visor attachment of claim 1, further comprising a hinge for pivotably mounting said mirror to said casing, said hinge pivotably mounting said mirror cover on top of said mirror.

3. The visor attachment of claim 2, further comprising a pair of visor extensions slidably mounted within said casing, such that the visor extensions may be extracted from said casing by pulling them horizontally outward in a direction away from said casing.

4. The visor attachment of claim 3, wherein said visor extensions are constructed from a substantially opaque material for blocking light from passing therethrough.

5. The visor attachment of claim 4, wherein said lamps and said mirror cover are part of an electrical circuit, such that said lamps are activated when said mirror cover is pivoted upward in a direction away from said mirror.
