  • Patent number: 4369996
    Abstract: A multiple sun visor system for vehicles, particularly cab-over-engine trucks, includes a pair of side visors and a center visor which form a nearly continuous line of visors when in the normal forward position. The side visors swing along a vertical axis to the side windows, in the conventional manner, while the center visor is limited to pivoting fore and aft. Special mounting brackets for the center visor cooperate with the adjacent inner, free ends of the side visors to provide supports for those free ends when the side visors are stored in their normal forward positions. For this purpose, the bracket includes a special recessed portion for receiving and cradling a projection at the end of the adjacent side visor. When a side visor is in the forward stowed position, upwardly pivoted against the vehicle's ceiling, it will not be released from the special bracket without first being pivoted downwardly, so that unwanted movement of the side visor away from the forward position is prevented.
