Appeal No. 97-1133
Application 08/424,247
the shade members (8) of Klose are not indicated to be made of
a "transparent plastic polarized material" which would allow
the shade members to be used to protect the driver's eyes from
the glare of
the sun, while not otherwise limiting his vision or restrict-
ing his field of view. Klose does not specifically indicate
what material the shade (8) is made from, but, notes at column
1, lines 36-39, that the window shade therein is intended to
substantially improve screening of a windshield and thus
improve the protection against sunlight and against light from
oncoming vehicles.
Stulbach discloses an antiglare shield or shade for
a motor vehicle windshield (58) wherein the retractable shade
members (e.g., 52, 54) are made of transparent plastic sheets
which are tinted or pigmented to be of different colors, such
as, blue and yellow, respectively (col. 2, lines 60-62). Each
shade is said to be pigmented so that glaring sunlight, street
lights and other elevated lights are most effectively excluded
