World Patent Marketing Works To Improve On The Three Year Decline In Fatal Car Accidents With The Adjustable Sun Visor
New York, New York (PRWEB) February 06, 2015 -- World Patent Marketing, the world's fastest growing patent, idea protection and inventor services organization, announces the development of the Adjustable Sun Visor, an improved sun visor for vehicles that could potentially save millions of lives and improve on the three year decline in fatal car accidents.
“Sun glare is a safety issue that is just too glaring to be ignored,” says Armenio R., the product developer. “One death is too much. A hundred is a disaster. That is exactly what I thought when I developed the Adjustable Sun Visor.”
Conventional sun visors usually rotate in two directions. It may be swung downward so it can cover the upper portion of the windshield, or sideways so it can shield the side window next to it. It can protect the driver’s eyes from the sun’s glare coming from either the windshield or the side window.
However, a problem can occur when one drives during sunrise or sunset. These are times when the sun’s rays usually shine below the visor. The currently existing sun visors do not extend low enough to protect the driver’s eyes from the glare.
The Adjustable Sun Visor solves this problem. It can be lowered far enough to shield a person’s eyes during sunrise or sunset. The visor may include a locking mechanism so that it does not accidentally move away from the window. There are two versions of the product. In one version, the visor can be manually adjusted through its telescoping tubes. In another version, the adjustable rod has a hydraulic or pneumatic mechanism that allows it to be controlled using an electronic switch.
According to New Jersey's oldest weekly newspaper, New Jersey Today, “Older drivers are more likely to get involved in crashes if glare obstructs their vision,” according to a study conducted by the National Center for Statistics and Analysis at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The study shows that 38.5 percent of drivers involved in crashes related to glare exposure were of “age 45 years and older.” Compounding matters, “drivers middle-aged and older are more sensitive to glare than younger drivers because their eyes take longer to adjust to changing light levels,” advises the AAA Foundation for Highway Safety. For example, “a 55-year-old takes eight times longer to recover from glare than a 16-year-old.”
The National Weather Service reports that hundreds of car accidents due to sun glare have occurred in the last several years, many of which are fatal. Drivers who take east to west roads during sunset face the highest risk from such accidents. Those who drive while the sun rises are also in harm’s way. However, this issue does not affect only those who are behind the wheel or inside vehicles. Pedestrians, especially children, are also vulnerable.
Armenio R. beams with pride as he talks about the Adjustable Sun Visor, “I believe I have set a new standard in driving safety by creating this product. I know for sure that someday, car accidents due to sun glare will be a thing of the past, and people will have my product to thank for it.”
