METHOD TO PREVENT BLINDING OF DRIVES BY LIGHTS OF ON-COMING VEHICLES Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B60J3/02 

FIELD: traffic safety.

SUBSTANCE: method comes to overlapping source of blinding by light screens arranged near in upper left-hand field of vision with vertical borders from right and horizontal borders in lower part. Borders of screens are installed so that at separate and alternative closing of each eye, borders of screens pass separately through one and the same point at one fixed comfortable posture of driver when driving the car. Light screens are fitted on axle of rotation arranged in upper corner of said screens, and angle of tilting of borders, when necessary, is adjusted, in its turn, by turning axle of rotation. Borders of screens are made with at least part of borders of screens with inclined elongated ovals, or at angle to horizontal part. In initial position, when riding at night and at no source of blinding, borders of screens are arranged behind road on-coming lane, and observation of entire road is provided, and at appearance of source of blinding, driver slightly moves head or upper part of body to the right or right and downwards simultaneously and shifts border of screens, thus overlapping source of blinding, and borders of overlapping are arranged in direction of axis of road or parallel to said axis and with simultaneous displacement of screens, eyes are shifted in opposite direction to observe part of road not overlapped by screen for safe riding. After passing-by source of blinding, screens and eyes are returned in initial position in reverse order. When riding at daytime in sunny weather, opposite working borders of light screens are used. For this purpose, screens are turned on axle of rotation through equal angle, for instance to arranged night working border in upper horizontal position, and opposite sides of light screens are used as daytime working borders for overlapping upper part of field of vision in front of driver.

EFFECT: improved safety of riding, provision of multipurposeness and convenience in use.
