Patent attributes
A widescreen deflector assembly is provided for an automotive vehicle having a passenger compartment extending between opposing side walls and a rear end, wherein the passenger compartment includes front seats and rear seats. The widescreen deflector assembly includes a membrane element. A first cross member is connected to an end of the membrane element. A second cross member is operatively coupled to the vehicle for movement between a retracted position disposed along the rear end of the passenger compartment and a use position disposed between the front and rear seats of the passenger compartment. A linkage is operatively coupled between the first and second cross members, so that the first cross member in the use position is spaced above the second cross member, such that the membrane element extends between the first and second cross members to form a substantially upright windscreen portion and further extends between the second cross member and the rear end of the passenger compartment to form a substantially horizontal cover portion covering the rear seats of the passenger compartment.
