Abstract

A fatigue reducing device for a driver of a motor vehicle is provided and consists of a structure for producing an indirect, soft, purple light which causes the pupils of the eyes of the driver to constrict so that blinding effects of approaching headlights is greatly reduced during night time driving conditions.

Claims

1. A fatigue reducing device for a driver of a motor vehicle which comprises means for producing an indirect, soft, purple light mounted on a vehicle interior and directed at the eyes of the driver to reduce eye fatigue from effects of approaching headlights, wherein said indirect, soft purple light producing means includes:

(a) a housing with a front wall and a bottom wall;

(b) means for mounting said housing within driver'"'"'s compartment in front of and above the drivers eyes;

(c) a light source disposed within said housing;

(d) a power source electrically connected in a circuit to said light source;

(e) a switch in the circuit to manually turn said light source on and off;

(f) a transparent purple plate located in front wall of said housing facing away from said driver so that when said switch is turned on, said light source will shine through said plate away from the drivers eye producing said indirect, soft, purple light therefrom, wherein said mounting means is a bracket pivotly attached to said housing, whereby said bracket can be attached in one of a number of positions within the driver'"'"'s compartment and said housing can be adjusted so that said, soft, purple light will not shine directly into the eyes of the driver, further comprising a second transparent purple plate located in said bottom wall of said housing so that when said switch is turned on, said light source will shine separately through both said first plate and said second plate, thereby providing more diffusion due to different paths of diffused light.

2. A fatigue reducing device as recited in claim 1, further comprising a translucent shade pivotly mounted to top portion of said front wall of said housing of said first plate to reflect some of the indirect, soft, purple light therefrom. producing additional paths of diffused light.

3. A fatigue reducing device as recited in claim 1, further comprising a gear adjustment member mounted on a side of said bracket to position said housing at various angles, wherein said gear adjustment member includes:

(a) a first gear having a rotatable shaft extending through said side of said bracket and into said housing;

(b) a second gear having a rotatable shaft mounted on said side of bracket wherein said second gear meshes with said first gear; and

(c) a control knob affixed to said rotatable shaft on said second gear so that when the person manually turns said control knob said gears will turn causing said housing to pivot on said bracket, to vary the angular position of said plates relative to said bracket.
