The disclosure relates to window shade devices and more particularly pertains to a new window shade device for tinting a window without the use of adhesives or preparation solutions. The device includes a sheet of window treatment that is tinted and which has adhesive properties. The sheet of window treatment can be cut into pieces to fit onto any window and subsequently be adhered to the window to tint the window.
The prior art relates to window shade devices including a variety of window tinting sheets that come in pre-determined sizes and which can be adhered to a window for tinting a portion of the window and a variety of sunshade devices that are attachable to windshield of a vehicle. In no instance does the prior art disclose a self-adhering window tinting sheet that has dimensions large enough to completely cover a window.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a sheet of window treatment that has a tint homogenously integrated into the sheet of window treatment. In this way the sheet of window treatment can reduce the intensity of light passing through the sheet of window treatment. The sheet of window treatment is comprised of a deformable material thereby facilitating the sheet of window treatment to be cut into pieces of a pre-determined shape. In this way a respective window to be tinted with a piece of the sheet of window treatment. The sheet of window treatment has adhesive properties to removably adhere to the respective window without the use of any additional adhesive or a preparation solution.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
The sheet of window treatment 12 has adhesive properties such that each of the plurality of pieces 14 can removably adhere to the respective window 18 without the use of any additional adhesive or a preparation solution. In this way the windows 18 can be tinted by a person of average skill without the use of adhesives or preparation solutions. The sheet of window treatment 12 has an engaging surface 20 and an exposed surface 22. The engaging surface 20 is comprised of a negatively charged material thereby facilitating the engaging surface 20 to form a weak electrostatic bond with glass. In this way the engaging surface 20 can removably adhere to the respective window 18. The exposed surface 22 is comprised of a cohesive material to inhibit adhering to a surface such that the exposed surface 22 does not attract dust or debris.
In use, the respective window 18 is measured and a piece of the sheet of window treatment 12 is cut to match the dimensions of the respective window 18. The engaging surface 20 of the piece of the sheet of window treatment 12 is positioned against the glass of the respective window 18 to facilitate the engaging surface 20 to bond to the glass. In this way the respective window 18 can be tinted without the use of adhesives or preparation solutions. Furthermore, the sheet of window treatment 12 can be cut into strips 23, and as is most clearly shown in
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
