Abstract

Disclosed is an Off-Road Rolling Film Vision System comprising a Controller Module ( 200 ), a Takeup Module ( 300 ), and a Rollout Module ( 400 ). The Controller Module ( 200 ) comprises a Command Input ( 205 ), a Controller Process Module ( 210 ), a Command Transmitter ( 215 ), and a Power Supply ( 220 ). The Controller Module ( 200 ) is configured to remotely control a Motor ( 325 ) in the Takeup Module ( 300 ). The Command Input ( 205 ) comprises at least one Button configured to accept a knuckle bump for controlling a Motor ( 325 ) in the Takeup Module ( 300 ) when the Controller Module ( 200 ) is attached to a handlebar of an off-road vehicle. The at least one Button configured to accept a knuckle bump may be configured to be adjacent to a user's metacarpophalangeal index finger joint. The at least one Button configured to accept a knuckle bump may be configured to be adjacent to a user's metacarpophalangeal thumb joint. The Takeup Module ( 300 ) comprises a Motor Compartment ( 305 ), a Takeup Spool Compartment ( 310 ), a Takeup Spool Gear Compartment ( 315 ), a Takeup Film Window ( 320 ), a Motor ( 325 ), a Motor Gearbox ( 330 ), and at least one Takeup Spool Gear ( 340 ). The Takeup Module ( 300 ) may further comprise a Takeup Spool Window ( 350 ) configured to provide a view of a Takeup Spool ( 345 ) within the Takeup Module ( 300 ). Also disclosed is a Takeup Spool ( 500 ) comprising a Spool Alignment Tab Wheel ( 505 ), a Spool Ribbed Shaft ( 510 ), a Rib Quarter Section Cutout ( 515 ), a Spool Alignment Slot Wheel ( 525 ), a Spool Alignment Tab ( 530 ), a Spool Alignment Slot ( 535 ), a Plurality of Wheel Cutouts ( 540 ), and a Plurality of Wheel Slots ( 545 ). Also disclosed is a method for maintaining clear vision with goggles comprising receiving a command input via a knuckle bump, transmitting a designated signal to a module comprising a Motor and a Takeup Spool, activating the Motor to cause the Takeup Spool to rotate, and winding a Transparent Film a designated distance over goggles.
