Abstract: An outer support bracket for the shaft of a motor vehicle sun visor including a base fastenable to the vehicle body and a supplementary body hingedly connected to the base at an integral hinge. A respective clamping arm for the bearing shaft defined on each of the base and the supplementary body. A screw fastens the base to the vehicle. A tubular extension on the supplementary body extends into an insertion opening in the base defining the extent to which the first and second arms can move together. A pin upstanding in the insertion opening in the base body receives the fastening screw. A compression spring between the head of the screw and a stop on the tubular extension on the supplemental body biases the supplemental body into the opening in the base.
