  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20060204740
    Abstract: A foam article comprising a base and a plastic sheet is disclosed. The base includes plastic particles. The plastic sheet encloses at least a portion of the base and comprises a material mixture having a first melting temperature and a second melting temperature. The second melting temperature of the plastic sheet is higher than the first melting temperature. The plastic particles of the base are configured to become agglomerated with one another at a third temperature that is greater than the first melting temperature and less than the second melting temperature. A method of making the foam article is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6474717
    Abstract: This publication describes a visor with a visor body that can be folded around the long axle leg of an L-shaped visor axle, that can be shifted parallel to said long axle leg and that is swingably positioned around a roughly vertically aligned short axle leg. Here, the short axle leg sits in a bearing block and the free terminal area of the long axle leg is positioned separably in a first bearing housing and the arrangement of the visor body is so made that it can be shifted along the long axle leg both beyond bearing block and beyond thrust bearing housing.

  • Patent number: 5626381
    Abstract: A sun-visor for motor vehicles is described which has a flat, elongated sun-visor body which can be flipped from a position of non-use above a vehicle windshield into a position of use in front of the vehicle windshield. The sun-visor body carries a plate at one end region of its lengthwise direction. The plate can be swung out around a hinge on the visor body when the sun-visor body is in its position of use in order to impart the sun-visor body the normal size which protects against glare and can be swung inward in order to shorten the length of the sun-visor body before it is swung into the position of non-use.
