Automobile window shield and covering

An automobile window shield and cover is formed of a thin, disposable sheet of strong water resistant paper, plastic, or similar inexpensive material. The sheets are factory cut to approximate the size and shape for various sized automobile (and other vehicle) windows, such as windshields, rear and side windows, and have an adhesive backing which is factory-applied to at least peripheral edge regions of the back to enable the sheets to be adhered to an appropriate automobile window in such a manner as to cover most of it, thereby protecting it against the buildup of snow and ice in winter weather conditions. Peeling the sheet from the window before the automobile is to be driven, thus enables the driver to remove any snow and ice from the window. The sheets may be perforated from one edge to an opposite edge in one or more places, to enable the sheets to be selectively removed in sections or strips, and may be provided in pads of a number of sheets for user convenience.

What is claimed is:

1. A protective window covering for vehicle windows, such as windshields, rear, and side windows, to prevent the accumulation of snow and ice on the windows of vehicles parked out-of-doors in winter weather, the protective cover being comprised of a thin, semi-flexible sheet of water-resistant material and having applied to a rear surface thereof, at least along peripheral edge regions, an adhesive backing enabling the sheet to be detachably mounted to the outside surface of a vehicle window, so as to cover major portions thereof, whereby removal of the sheet from the window causes the removal of any ice or snow which has accumulated on the sheet and which would otherwise have accumulated on the window to which the sheet was detachably applied, said sheet including means defining at least one tear line across the sheet so that the sheet can easily be torn into at least two pieces, being joined together in a pad.
