  • Patent number: 4740028
    Abstract: Sunvisors provided with vanity mirrors usually have the mirror, with or without illumination, fixed to the upper surface of the visor when in the stowed position, and to avoid undesirable reflections a cover is sometimes provided. Also, various switches are provided to control energization of the lighting means when present. The invention simplifies this kind of visor by arranging that the mirror is carried by a hinge (7b) near the lower margins of the visor to open out therefrom downwardly from a stowed position facing into a recess (11) in the upper surface of the visor. The lower edge of the visor may be relieved as at (12) to maximize the hingeing angle of the mirror so as to achieve compactness while satisfying visor safety requirements. The wire frame (7) of the visor may be joggled inwards at (7a) and (8a) to provide hinge pins and electrical connections (7b) and (8b) for the visor.
