  • Patent number: 6010175
    Abstract: This invention relates to a sun visor having a sun visor body which is pivotable about, and displaceable on, a spindle. The spindle is seated in a rotatable, but non-displaceable, manner in a sliding body. The sliding body is mounted in a non-rotatable, but displaceable, manner by a tubular hollow body. The hollow body is embedded in the sun visor body. In order to fulfill the required specification with respect to the radial play and the sliding force between the hollow body and the sliding body, it is provided that the sliding body is formed from a modified molybdenum-enriched POM and has a cutout which is open at the bottom. A compression spring and a slowing-down block are disposed within the cutout. The slowing-down block is subjected to the action of the spring and is supported on the bottom wall of the hollow body.
