Abstract: A vehicle accessory such as a visor includes a body with a vanity mirror frame and mirror mounted thereto. A pair of opposed covers are slidably coupled to the mirror frame and are coupled together such that movement of one cover between an open and closed position effects the movement of the remaining cover in an opposite direction. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the inwardly facing ends include external illumination sources which abut one another when the covers are closed to provide a point light source for the interior illumination of the vehicle when the visor is in a lowered use position and which is directable by movement of the visor for providing illumination for the vehicle occupants. When the covers are moved to an open position, the illumination sources are spaced-apart on opposite edges of the mirror and provide illumination for the face of the user of the illuminated vanity mirror facilitating use under low, ambient light conditions.

Abstract: A combined storage compartment and container holder for a motor vehicle. The storage compartment and container holder is of a substantially rectangular box-like configuration which is divided into two sections. A storage compartment depends from an edge member about the first section and a pair of container holders are mounted in the second section. The combined unit can be concealed within an armrest until needed at which time it can be extended out of the armrest to expose the container holder and on further extension a storage compartment. The container holders are stored in a vertical facing position and are guided to a horizontal use position by pairs of spaced pins on opposite outer edges of each cup-like holder which traverse guide slots formed in a pair of spaced vertical walls.
