Abstract: The present invention relates to a sun visor comprising a sun visor body made of plastic; a coating of the sun visor body fixed onto the sun visor body and a spring element for mounting the sun visor in a motor vehicle. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for manufacture comprising the following steps: Inserting at least two plastic plates in plane opposed arrangement in a blow mold for sun visors; inserting a spring element and a pipe for gas or fluid supply between the at least two plastic plates; closing the blow mold and connecting the plastic plates via heat supply; and forming the plastic plates by the application of pressure via the pipe, connecting of the coating with the plastic plates and fixing of the spring element on the plastic plates.

Abstract: The present invention provides a flocked sun visor varying in color, constitution, structure, haptics and appearance and a method for its manufacturing. The variable surface coating of the sun visor and the adaptation to the interior fittings of a motor vehicle is achieved by the applied flocks varying in material, shape, structure and color. In the method for manufacturing flocked sun visors, the sun visor body having a hard and smooth surface, preferably a blow molded sun visor body made of plastic, is coated with adhesive and subsequently flocked by using electrostatic effects. In comparison to known methods for manufacturing sun visors having an attractive appearance, the present invention is cheaper and less time-consuming. There are five method steps: Cleaning, priming, adhesive coating, flocking and solidifying.

Abstract: A sunvisor comprises a body, an attachment device for pivotally attaching the body to an automobile structure, a support releasably engageable by the body, and weakening structure for facilitating disconnection of the body from the attachment device and for the support in the event of collision, the weakening structure including a first weakening groove provided in the region Of the attachment device, and a second weakening groove provided in the region of the support.

Abstract: A sunvisor for automobiles comprises a sunvisor body, a metal reinforcing rod which reinforces the sunvisor body and has two U-shaped ends, a retaining spring, a sunvisor hinge having a vertical arm attachable to a base member fitted to a structure of a vehicle and a horizontal arm snugly attachable to the retaining spring housed in the linking body so that the sunvisor may be rotated about a horizontal arm of the supporting pivot, the linking body being formed as an elongated parallelopipedon with two adjoining hollow longitudinal sections including a front section and a rear section separated from one another by a wall, the front section housing the retaining spring and being open at its free end and also having means for snugly receiving both ends of the metal ring reinforcing rod so that the ends are aligned longitudinally and left facing each other, means for fixing a position of the retaining spring, and means for fixing a position of one of the L-shaped ends of the metal reinforcing rod, the rear secti

Abstract: An automobile sun visor has a visor body, an internal structural member arranged in the visor body and having shorter sides, a retaining clip attached to one of the shorter sides of the internal structural member and having arms provided with front edges which are flush with an outer surface of a side of the sun visor body, and a longitudinal bag-shaped sheath which covers an outer surface of the visor body and has a free end which forms a joint line on the front edges of the arms of the retaining clip.

Abstract: The attachment device has a plurality of attachment projections (1) and respective retaining elements (MR). The attachment projections (1) are essentially cylindrical and project from the bottom wall of the cavity (2) formed in the one-piece casing (3), produced by plastics blow molding techniques, of the sunvisor. The cavity (2) receives the vanity mirror boxlike shell (4) so that the attachment projections (1) penetrate in the interior of the boxlike shell (4) through respective through holes (7). The boxlike shell (4) is firmly fixed in the cavity (2) by retaining means (MR) constituted by a plastic deformation (10) of the free end of the attachment projection (1), or by a self-tapping screw (11) or by an internally toothed washer (12), or by a self-tapping nut (14) which, in any case, presses the boxlike shell (4) against the bottom wall of the cavity (2).
