Abstract: A visor includes a snap-in frame which extends inside a visor mirror receiving recess and engages its sidewalls compressing upholstery fabric against the walls and securely holding it in place. In one embodiment, the visor core is of clamshell construction in which the upholstery material is wrapped around the free edges and held in place around the peripheral boundary of the visor by the clamping action of the visor core. A method of manufacturing a visor of such construction includes the steps of surrounding a visor core having two halves with upholstery material and temporarily affixing the edges of the upholstery material around the free edges of the core, joining the core halves together to clamp the upholstery material in place around the periphery of the visor so formed while bonding the visor core halves permanently together to provide a compressive clamping force to the upholstery material.

Abstract: A visor control includes a first member positioned in the body of the visor and engaging one side of a pivot rod also extending within the visor body for moving the visor between stored and use positions. An elastically deformable plate has one end secured to the first member and engages an opposite side of the pivot rod in an elastically deformed position. The rod includes a flat formed in the opposite side for engagement by the deformable plate to provide a torque for returning the visor to a predetermined position and for releasably holding the visor in such position. In one embodiment of the invention, the first member is also an elastically deformable plate which engages flats formed in the one side of the pivot rod.
