  • Patent number: 7111890
    Abstract: A sun visor can be opened from a non-used position to an anti-glare position. The visor can be pivoted from a first anti-glare position in front of the windscreen to a second anti-glare position in front of a lateral window of the vehicle. The visor body is guided by a guide device in such a way that in each anti-glare position the same face of the body faces the vehicle interior. The visor body is guided both by a guide rail that is mounted on the roof liner and by an articulated arm that is rotatably mounted on the sun visor body for pivoting from the first anti-glare position to the second. The visor body can also be hinged for pivoting from the first anti-glare position to the second by a pair of articulated arms forming a four-bar mechanism with substantially vertical axes of rotation relative to the roof liner.

  • Patent number: 5975617
    Abstract: A small bracket is provided for a sun visor for a vehicle. The bracket includes a base body supporting at least two locking elements and at least one seating dome, which can be mounted by means of locking elements. The locking elements can be inserted from the visible side into cutouts in the support structure behind whose cutout edges they extend. The bracket has a cover on the visible side, on which blocking wedges for securing the locking elements are arranged. Each locking element has two legs that can be brought into engagement transversely in respect to the insertion direction at oppositely located cutout edges. One leg of each locking element is arranged separated from the base body and movable in relation to it in the engagement direction. The bracket has an interlocking coupling that can be engaged in the engagement direction between the movable leg and the base body.
