Patent attributes
A system for a glare reduction shield including an attaching assembly and a shield hood assembly is disclosed. The attaching assembly includes an attaching member which engages a top portion of a thermometer. Secured to the attaching member, with a hinge mechanism, is a shield hood of the shield hood assembly. The hinge mechanism is defined by a spring housing and a spring movably secured within the spring housing. The shield hood includes a lowered and raised configuration. The shield hood is used in the lowered configuration to block sunlight glare on a display screen of the thermometer for ease of viewing. The shield hood is rotated away from the attaching member about the hinge mechanism to achieve the lowered configuration. The shield hood is in the raised configuration when stored. The shield hood is rotated towards the attaching member about the hinge mechanism to achieve the raised configuration.
