Abstract: A vehicle sun visor has a bearing disposed at an upper corner portion of a visor body. A sight-through portion is defined in a lower region of the visor body in order to enable observation through the sight-through portion. The sight-through portion extends at least between an eye point on the visor body and a central point of the lower region of the visor body. A mirror assembly is movable between a usable position and a storage position without interacting with the sun visor bearing. The usable position is disposed on or proximate to the eye point. The storage position is disposed in the upper region of the visor body. The mirror assembly in the usable position and the storage position does not cover the central point of the lower region.

Abstract: A blocking device for mounting within a space defined within a hollow structure includes a blocking member and a fixing device. The blocking member may be disposed on one side of a wall portion extending within the space. The blocking member has an expandable member and a holder for holding the expandable member. The expandable member is expandable by heat to form a foam member. The fixing device has a fixing member that may be disposed on the other side of the wall portion within the space. The fixing device also has a connecting member that may extend through an insertion hole formed in the wall portion. The connecting member connects the blocking member to the fixing member.

Abstract: A vehicle sun visor includes a visor body and a support and guide device that serve to hold and direct the visor body, so that the visor body is movable along a first direction between a storage position within a storage space defined within a vehicle cabin ceiling and a withdrawn position located outside of the storage space. A second support member is pivotally mounted to a first support member about a first axis so that the visor body is movable from the withdrawn position to a first light-shielding position. The visor body is pivotally mounted to the second support member about a second axis that is substantially perpendicular to the first axis so that the visor body is movable from a first light-shielding position to a second light shielding position as the visor body pivots about the second axis.

Abstract: A blocking device for mounting within a space defined within a hollow structure includes a holder and an expandable member. The holder is adapted to be mounted within the space. The expandable member is supported on the holder and is expandable by heat to form a foam member in order to block or substantially close the space. The holder includes a holder plate extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the space and supporting at least one side of the expandable member. The expandable member includes a constriction absorbing portion that is deformed so as to absorb potential constriction of the expandable member at the beginning of the expansion process of the expandable member.

Abstract: A vehicle sun visor including a visor body and a support rod disposed on the visor body. The support rod is adapted to engage a support hook mounted to a vehicle cabin ceiling. The support rod includes a core rod member mounted on the visor body and an outer sleeve disposed on the outer peripheral side of the core rod member. The outer sleeve includes first and second semi-circular cylindrical sleeve halves each having at least one resilient engaging portion formed integrally therewith. The resilient engaging portions resiliently engage an outer peripheral surface of the core rod member. The semi-circular cylindrical sleeve halves may have similar configurations with each other.

Abstract: A vehicle sun visor includes a visor body and a fixed base mounted within a storage space defined in a vehicle cabin ceiling. A linearly movable member is movable along a first guide rail. A movable support member is movable along a second guide rail and is pivotally coupled to the linearly movable member. The visor body is movable between a storage position and a first light shielding position along the windshield. In addition, the visor support may include a support member and a guide device. The guide device allows the visor body to move along a predetermined path between a first light shielding position and a second light shielding position along a side window, while one side of the visor body faces the interior of a vehicle cabin.

Abstract: A blow molded vehicle sun visor (1) has a visor body (2) formed by a blow molding process. The visor body (2) has a hollow plate-shaped configuration defining an inner space. A bearing member (3) is positioned within the inner space of the visor body (2) during the blow molding process. A support rod (4) is inserted into the bearing me (3) in order to pivotally support the visor body (2). The bearing member (3) has at least one through hole (33, 34) formed therein and extending in a direction of thickness. The visor body (2) has at least one column (25) corresponding to the at least one through hole (33, 34) and formed integrally with the visor body (2). The at least one column (25) extends though the corresponding at least one through hole (33, 34) of the bearing member (3) in order to prevent the movement of the bearing Ryder (3) and to reinforce the visor body (2) with respect to the direction of thickness.

Abstract: A vehicle sun visor includes a visor body, a mirror mounted to the visor body, and a mirror cover slidably movable relative to the visor body along a reflective surface of the mirror between a closed position substantially covering the reflective surface of the mirror and an opened position for uncovering the reflective surface. A lighting device serves to illuminate a driver or a passenger when the mirror is used. A light control device serves to turn the lighting device from off to on as the mirror cover slides from the closed position to the opened position. The light control device also serves to control the intensity of light emitted from the lighting device in response to the position of the mirror cover.

Abstract: A sun visor for vehicles has a sun visor body, a spindle, and a bearing member. The sun visor body is rotatably mounted on a periphery of the spindle via the bearing member. The bearing member has a bearing, for rotatably holding the spindle, and a baffle, for holding the sun visor body at a desired rotational position about the spindle. The bearing member is integrally formed using metal. When at least a predetermined extraction force acts on the spindle relative to the sun visor body, the bearing member is extracted along with the spindle from a receiving part provided on the sun visor body.

Abstract: A sun visor for a vehicle may include a sun visor body (10) and a mirror unit (20) attached to the sun visor body (10). The mirror unit (20) may have a rotatable attachment (35) that can rotate along the attached face of the sun visor body (10). Further, the mirror unit (20) may have a mirror holder (22) with a mirror. The mirror holder (22) is rotatably connected around a rotatable axis to the rotatable attachment (35). The rotatable axis may extend along the rotatable face of the rotatable attachment (35). The mirror holder (22) may be displaceable between a stored position along the sun visor body (10), and a used position protruding from the sun visor body (10) at some angle. The mirror of this sun visor is angle-adjusted in two independent directions. The directions are perpendicular to each other. Therefore, it is easy to set a preferable reflecting angle to the mirror and the construction may be simple.
