  • Patent number: 4666205
    Abstract: An auxiliary sun visor which is readily mountable to the existing sun visor of a motor vehicle. The auxiliary visor generally comprises an elongated shaft which is secured to a mounting plate which has a configuration substantially identical to the configuration of the mounting bracket of the existing visor. The mounting plate of the auxiliary visor is adapted such that it may be mounted between mounting bracket of the existing visor and the ceiling of the interior vehicle compartment using the existing hardware. The visor panel is rotatably mounted to the elongated rod such that it may be rotated into the necessary position. An alternative embodiment of the invention utilizes dual shafts permanently attached to the mounting bracket of the visor. The invention eliminates the risk of accident caused by the vehicle driver repeatedly rotating the sun visor into position to shield their eyes and for conventional use on the front passenger side.
