405%... MM 8M2 10 adjacent each end of the windshield l2 thereof is a socket 54 which opens upwardly and receives the leg 46 of an adjacent arm 34. ,Each socket is provided adjacent its lower end with a notch or recess 56 for the reception of the retaining ball 52 of the leg 46 of the arm 34 which enters the socket 54, and formed on the socket adjacent its lower end is an outwardly extending ear 5} to which-islpivoted-one end of a prop 60. Thislpropis. provided near itsopposite end with an elongated, longitudinally extending slot 52, the inner end of which terminates in an errlarged opening 54 through which the head of a 7 in its resp ectivesockets V 2. In combination with a demountable frost t-shield and sun visor for the windshield of a pin 66 carried by a bracket 68 on an adjacent edge of the panel may be entered into the slot 62. The shank of the pin 66 rides in the slot 62 so that the panel may be moved to raised or lowered positions, as will be readily understood upon reference to the drawings. In order to hold the panel 20 in its elevated positiomthe end of th slot 62 adjacent th'e'fre'e end'oi the armor prop 6B is equipped with a notch Hi into which theshank of the pin 66 may engage when the panel is in its uppermost position. In use; itv will be understood that the panels 20 are mounted .on thejfront end of the vehicle as suggested in Figure 1 with the legs 46 of the arms 34 mounted in their respective'sockets 54;; Obviously, the panels maybe easily and quickly disconnectedfrom their position'on the windshield simply by swinging thern'downwardly until the heads of the pins '66 align with the openings 64 so that the propsmay be disconnected, after which the legs 46 of the arms 34 may be extracted from their positions within the sockets 54. When inv position, the operation of the panels is obvious from the drawings, and they maybe held in, elevated, positionby engagement of the shanks of the pins (iii in the'recesses 1a. 'While in the foregoing there has been shown and described the preferred embodiment of this invention, itis to be understood that minor changes in the details of construction, combinetionand arrangement of' partsmay be resorted to;without departing from'the spirit of the invention as claimed. 'Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is: v

l. In' combination with a demountable frost shield and'sun visor for the windshield of, amotor vehicle which includes a pair of panels each being of a size and shape to cover one-half of the windshield of a motor vehicle, means for attaching the shield to the vehicle including an L-shaped arm pivotally'connected to each panel adjacent one end thereof, a socket fixed to the body of a vehicle adjacent each end of thewindand scope ,.motorvehiclev which includes a pair of panels eachbeing ofa size and shape to cover one-half of thewindshield of a motor vehicle, means for attaching the shield to the vehicle including a sleeve 'fixed to'e'ach panel adjacent one end thereof, said sleeve having aligned transverse openings therein, a pair of L-shaped arms, one leg of each arm entering a sleeve and having an annular groove therein which registers with the transverseopenings in; its respective sleeve, pin entering each opening and projecting part way into the groove in its respective sleeve, a spring clip encircling each sleeve intermediate its ends and holding the pins against accidental withdrawal and a socket fixed to the'bojdy of the vehicle adjacent each end of the windshield to receive theleg. of an adjacent arm opposite that which enters the sleeve. 3.. In combination ,with a demounta'ble frost shield and sunvisor for the windshield oi a motor vehicle, said frost shield including a pair of panels, each panel being of a size; and shape to cover one-half'the,windshield,means for at-' taching the frost shield to the vehicle including an L-shaped arm pivotally connected to each section adjacent one end thereof, a socketfixed to the body of the vehicle adjacent one end of the windshield thereof, each socket receiving one leg of' each' L-shaped arm and a prop pivoted to each socket and pivotally and slidably connected to an adjacent end of an adjacent section for holding said section elevated and out of wind shield covering position.
