Abstract: A vanity mirror frame (70) has insert-molded electrical contacts (117, 118) for holding a lamp in place in the frame and which, when assembled to a visor core, makes aligned electrical connections with the visor core electrical supply. Further, the vanity mirror frame includes a unique socket (78) for pivotally receiving and holding a mirror cover in place. Detent springs extend between the frame and cover for snap opening and closing of the cover between closed and open positions. The cover includes an additional cam (95, 97) which cooperates with an electrical switch when the cover is open to provide operating power to the lamp.

Abstract: A visor (20) has a visor core (30,140) with a channel (36,100) for receiving a polymeric slide (54,130) fixedly coupled to a visor pivot rod (22) via a detent spring (56,120) to allow the visor to be adjustably moved along and rotated around the pivot rod.

Abstract: A visor includes a guide channel which receives an elongated pivot rod and combined torque control and slide. The slide comprises a lubricous polymeric member which surrounds the torque control to present a sliding interface between the visor rod and channel within the visor body while the torque control allows the visor to be raised to desired adjusted positions between a raised storage position adjacent the vehicle roof and lowered use positions. In one embodiment, at least one bias spring extends between the slide and channel for providing the desired sliding action and permitting tolerance variations in the manufacture of the visor control.
