Claim:
A window cover for covering a window of a vehicle, said cover comprising: an upper armored plate having a top side, an underside, a forward end, and a rearward end, said forward end of said upper armored plate being farther from said window and said rearward end of said upper armored plate being nearer said window relative to said rearward end of said upper armored plate, said forward end of said upper armored plate being higher than said rearward end of said upper armored plate with the underside of said upper armored plate at least partially extending beyond an upper edge of said window relative to said forward end of said upper armored plate; an upper reflector beneath said underside of said upper armored plate and movable with respect to said window and said upper armored plate, said upper reflector having a forward end and a rearward end, said forward end of said upper reflector being farther from said window relative to said rearward end of said upper reflector and said rearward end of said upper reflector being nearer said window relative to said forward end of said upper reflector, said forward end of said upper reflector being higher than said rearward end of said upper reflector; a lower armored plate spaced below said upper armored plate, positioned in front of said window and at least partially below said upper reflector, said upper reflector being penetrable by a projectile fired from in front of said vehicle toward said window, said lower armored plate constituting means for stopping or deflecting a projectile; a lower reflector having a forward end and a rearward end, said forward end of said lower reflector being farther from said window relative to said rearward end of said lower reflector and said rearward end of said lower reflector being nearer said window relative to said forward end of said lower reflector, said forward end of said lower reflector being higher than said rearward end of said lower reflector, said lower reflector being positioned beneath said upper reflector and behind said lower armored plate so that light reflected from said upper reflector strikes said lower reflector, said forward end of said lower reflector being lower than said rearward end of said upper reflector, whereby moving said upper reflector alters a view of objects outside of said vehicle as seen by an occupant of said vehicle.
