Abstract: A sun visor comprises a sun visor body (2) and a vanity mirror assembly (1) comprising a vanity mirror (11) mounted on a support (12). The sun visor comprises a first set of clips (31, 32) configured for snap-fit connection of the vanity mirror assembly (1) onto the sun visor body (2) so that the vanity mirror assembly (1) is held firmly against the sun visor body (2) by the first set of clips, and a second set of clips (41, 42; 51, 52) configured for snap-fit connection of the vanity mirror assembly (1) onto the sun visor body (2) allowing for movement of the vanity mirror assembly (1) in relation to the sun visor body (2). If the snap-fit connection by the first set of clips fails after an impact, the vanity mirror assembly may remain attached to the sun visor body by the second set of clips.

Abstract: A single-channel or multiple-channel connector for collimated optical fibers. A female part body of connector includes a receiving cavity with a guide bush and a lensed socket. The lensed socket includes an optical fiber contained in a ferrule and held in a tubular casing guided and fitted in the guide bush. The optical fiber is held axially in the guide bush in the free position flush with the front face of the female part by a spring acting axially on the lensed socket, thereby permitting the lens can be cleaned easily. A male part of the connector includes a lensed pin with an optical fiber contained in a ferrule held in a tubular casing. The lensed pin is flush with the front face of the male part.
