  • Publication number: 20080074866
    Abstract: A vanity for a visor having a cover attached to a frame at a pivot point is disclosed. An extension arm is connected to the cover and a metal pin extends from the extension arm. At least one metal stamping extends from the frame. When the cover is closed, the extension arm rotates the metal pin into contact with the metal stamping. When the cover is opened, the extension arm rotates the metal pin out of contact with the metal stamping. First and second actuation tabs may be connected to the cover and a pair of stamping legs extend from the frame. When the cover is closed, the first actuation tab prevents contact between the pair of stamping legs but permits contact between the pair of stamping legs when the cover is open. When the cover is opened, the second actuation tab causes contact between the pair of stamping legs.
