  • Publication number: 20220324305
    Abstract: A vehicle sun visor includes a visor body and a support shaft that attaches the visor body to a ceiling surface of a vehicle cabin. The visor body includes a first component and a second component that are stacked in a thickness direction. The support shaft supports the visor body such that the visor body is rotatable between a service position and a storage position. The support shaft is rotatably supported by a bearing part provided in the first component. The first component is provided with a housing part that houses a mirror. The housing part and the bearing part are connected by a connecting rib that extends in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the support shaft. The connecting rib, the bearing part, and the housing part are all provided in the first component.

  • Publication number: 20220289003
    Abstract: A vehicle sun visor includes a visor body including a first component member and a second component member that are stacked in a thickness direction, and a support shaft. In the visor body, a case that supports the support shaft such that the support shaft is turnable and that is slidably fitted to the visor body is provided. The case is provided with a clip that urges the visor body toward a storage position by urging the support shaft. A guide rail that prevents the case from falling in the thickness direction with respect to the first component member is provided. The guide rail is formed integrally with the first component member to support the case such that the case is slidable with respect to the first component member.
