Abstract

The all vision visor is an extendable retractable polarized sun visor that utilizing a prism and light source that is rotative relative to a housing slot whereby the user can vary the color wavelength projected into the sun visor that refracts incoming sun rays, while allowing full vision through the windshield from the interior of the automobile.

Claims

1. An apparatus comprising a sun visor for attachment to the interior roof of a motor vehicle approximate a vehicle window, comprising:

a) a housing having an interior surface and an exterior surface with a slot extending therebetween;

b) mounting means within said housing for attachment to the vehicle interior proximate to a selected window;

c) an extendable retractable polarized sun visor located within the housing that extends when the vehicle ignition is engaged and retracts when the vehicle ignition is disengaged;

d) an illuminable member located within the housing compartment formed by the interior housing surface and in electrical communication with a power source for energizing said apparatus; and

,

e) a prism depending from said illuminable member whereby said illuminable member when energized will generate a waveform that passes into the prism.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said fastening element is releasable.

3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein said fastening element comprises adhesive.

4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein said fastening element comprises a peel-off adhesive backing.

5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein said housing is in electrical communication with the motor vehicle ignition system that when energized will energize the housing illuminable member.

6. The apparatus of claim 5, further comprising an illuminable member positioned within said housing and in electrical communication with said vehicle electrical system.

7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein said illuminable member is illuminated upon starting the motor vehicle.

8. The apparatus of claim 7, further comprising a switch for disengaging the sun visor of the present invention.

9. The apparatus of claim 8, further comprising a slot within said housing whereby said illuminable member light beams are projected from said housing.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein said prism is positioned over the housing slot whereby the light rays from the illuminable member are projected into the prism.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein said prism is located over a section of motor vehicle glass whereby the prism generated spectrum is impinged into the sun visor.

12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the generated prism spectrum can be selected varied in wavelength.

13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein said generated prism spectrum is a product of the housing source light and incorporated prism.

14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein said light source is comprised of a plurality of illuminable elements for generating a beam projected into a prism for generating a spectrum wavelength.
