Abstract: Disclosed herein is a structure for the holding of sun-reducing glass in an automobile. One feature is that the rotation of sun-reducing glass is so light and convenient that the sun-cut glass can be turned to any desired position. The clamping device can hold the sun-reducing glass firmly so that it is immovable during the continuous vibration of the vehicle and it won't disturb the view of a driver.The clamping device is designed with two different retention points. Firstly, there is a lever action in the angular movement of the sun-cut glass. Applied force opens the spring clip so that the arms of the clip will not clamp the fixing shaft and a small force can be applied to the sun-reducing glass to move it to the required angle and position. Secondly, when there is no force to be applied on the sun-cut glass, the arm of the spring clip holds the fixing shaft firmly and thus, the sun-reducing glass is clamped firmly so that it is immovable.
