Abstract: The disclosure relates to a removably positionable visor and suction release mechanism which are particularly adapted for a vehicle windshield, windows, and smooth surfaces. The visor includes a visor element, which is provided with one or more suction cups for attaching the visor element at any selected location on the desired surface. The vacuum breaking mechanism, which is engaged by a spring-loaded, thumb-actuated projection, simultaneously breaks the vacuum in each suction cup so as to enable the visor to be easily removed without wrenching. The visor further includes a handle that is cooperably positioned with respect to the thumb-actuated projection, so as to enable a vehicle operator to safely and quickly remove and relocate the visor with only one hand.
