Abstract: The mechanism includes two discoidal parts, including a ratchet and crown mounted on an unattached axle, each of their opposing faces with cogged sections. The positioning of the ratchet on the axle allows it to move axially to facilitate the separation of the teeth. The separation of the teeth is carried out by a separator element that is set up between the ratchet and crown, the ratchet being able to be manually operated to carry out the separation. The ratchet is required to activate the position of engagement with the crown by means of a spring that is supported by an external disk that in turn presses on a limit plate pierced by the axle and mounted on the ratchet.

Each clip has a central base and at least six arms. The arms have end formations which rest in opposing senses against the opposite surfaces of the bodywork sheet around the mounting opening. Half of the arms rest on the exterior surface of the sheet and the other half of the arms rest on the interior surface of the sheet.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a dressing for an inner lining comprising molding an intermediate layer of a semi-rigid fibrous blanket, applying onto each surface of the layer a thermosetting resin and then a reinforcement layer made of fibrous material; applying at least one protective sheet on one side, covering one of the reinforcement layers defining a concealed surface; and applying onto the opposite side of the lining the decorative lining layer defining an exposed surface; and finally subjecting the layer thus obtained to a shaping or molding process in a hot press, and also polymerizing the thermosetting resin. The invention also relates to the product obtained by the process.

Abstract: A sun visor that has a core formed of first and second foldable halves. A guide is mounted on one of the core halves and receives a support arm. A carrier has a through aperture. The support arm moveably extends through the guide into the carrier. Ribs are formed on each of the core halves and respectively engage oppositely opening channels in the carrier to support sliding movement of the carrier and the core as the core is moved relative to the support arm. In a non-sliding configuration, a short length support arm extends through the guide with the carrier, with the carrier non-moveably mounted in the guide.

Abstract: A sun visor has a plurality of receivers and projections defining snap connections for securing first and second core halves in a folded over, closed position. The receivers are carried on one of the core halves and include angularly extending latch arms. The projections are carried on the other core half and have an enlarged head insertable through the spaced ends of the latched arms such that the latch arms snap underneath the head into engagement with a stem of each projection to lock the projection in the receiver.

Abstract: The attachment system consists of a metal part with a base (1) having a central orifice for passage of a screw (9), by which are secured an accessory (10) and a lining (11) on said clip, in order to attach the entire assembly on the plate (8) of a vehicle body, with the attachment obtained by passing the clip through an orifice provided for such purpose on said plate (8). The clip has lateral flexible flaps (5) elbowed on their lower free ends and ending in corresponding tabs (7) that project and diverge outwards to define the structure for anchoring the clip on the orifice of the plate (8) after said flaps (5) pass through the aforementioned orifice, holding the accessory (10) and the lining (11) to the base (1) of the clip, so that these components are thus attached to the vehicle body.
