A common complaint among passengers in automobiles is their inability to adequately shield their eyes from the glaring rays of the sun. This problem is particularly acute, of course, when the vehicle is traveling toward the sun which is positioned fairly low on the horizon. All standard vehicles are equipped with sun visors which are hingedly secured to the vehicle at their outer end so that they can be pivoted into a parallel relation with the side windows of the vehicle to protect the drivers and passengers when the vehicle is traveling perpendicular to the sun's rays. These visors are fairly effective in this orientation. However, when traveling toward a setting sun, the visors can only be pivoted downwardly the amount equal to the width of the visor itself. This does not provide an adequate shield to the sun's rays, particularly with respect to the passenger's eyes as he is generally seated back in a restful position with his head and eyes in a horizontal plane beneath the lower edge of the vehicle's sun visor where his eyes are subjected to the rays of the sun. Because of the sun, the passenger, while attempting to relax is made uncomfortable and must resort to the wearing of tinted glasses or otherwise shield his eyes from the sun. Furthermore, such visors do not give either the driveror passenger any protection from the headlights of oncoming vehicles during night time driving.
