Abstract: A vehicle sun visor (14) includes a rod assembly (22) and a body (20) configured to rotate about the rod assembly. The vehicle sun visor also includes an electrical connection assembly (18) having a first electrical connector (34) disposed about at least a portion of a periphery of the rod assembly along a circumferential axis of the rod assembly. The electrical connection assembly also includes a second electrical connector (36) coupled to the body and having multiple fingers (44). The fingers are biased toward the first electrical connector (34) to establish contact between the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector, and the fingers (44) are offset from one another along the circumferential axis of the rod assembly, such that at least one finger contacts the first electrical connector throughout a rotational range of motion of the body about the rod assembly.

Abstract: A vanity mirror assembly for a vehicle sun visor includes a cover assembly configured to be slideably supported within a frame and to cover a reflective element while in a closed position and to at least partially expose the reflective element to a vehicle interior while in an open position. The cover assembly includes a substantially rigid body portion, one or more flexible arms extending from the substantially rigid body, and a biasing member configured to drive the one or more flexible arms away from the substantially rigid body and into a corresponding groove of the frame.

Abstract: A vehicle sun visor includes a positioning assembly configured to facilitate rotation and/or translation of the vehicle sun visor relative to an interior of a vehicle. The positioning assembly includes a casing configured to house a positioning mechanism, and an outer surface of the casing forms at least a portion of a show surface of the vehicle sun visor.

Abstract: A fastening device, in particular for hand grips for the interior of a motor vehicle, is equipped with a bearing block, which can be inserted into a recess in a plate-like structure, with a stopper which can be inserted into the bearing block, and with means which, upon insertion of the stopper, make it possible for rear engagement of the fastening device behind a plate-like structure. The invention makes provision for the rear-engagement means to be formed separately and to be produced preferably in the manner of wings from sheet steel.

Abstract: A component, in particular a sun visor that is designed for use in a vehicle, is described having a structural part and a cover part, the cover part being connected to the structural part by a removable connection. In order to produce the connection, the cover element performs a connection displacement in relation to the structural part in a tangential direction to at least one main extension direction of the cover element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fixing device for a vehicle for mounting a component, especially a sun visor. The fixing device comprises a cantilever arm that can be pivoted about a first, especially vertical rotational axis but is fixed in relation to the vehicle body. The component can be tilted in relation to the cantilever arm about a second, especially horizontal rotational axis. In addition to the fact that the component can be tilted about the second rotational axis, the position of the component can be modified in relation to the cantilever arm.

In order to produce the connection, the cover element performs a connection displacement in relation to the structural part in a tangential direction to at least one main extension direction of the cover element.

Abstract: An adjustment device for positioning a body portion of a sun visor includes a substantially flat base portion having opposite sides and a plurality of arcuate spring members extending in alternating fashion from each of the opposite sides to the other of the opposite sides and a gap exists between a free end of the arcuate spring fingers and the base portion, so that the arcuate spring members fit over the spindle member and are configured to flex as the arcuate spring members rotate about the spindle member.

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.

Abstract: An attachment device for a handle within a vehicle in the vicinity of the internal face of a vehicle roof is disclosed. The device includes a base support element, which is equipped with projections that snap into cavities of a body panel and at least one locking element that locks the base support element and can be inserted into the handle. The Attachment device also includes an adapter element that can be inserted into the base support element between the handle and the body panel, for selectively coupling a handle and the roof liner with or without an airbag integrated into the latter, in the vicinity of the internal face of the vehicle roof. The adapter element is configured to receive a partial section of the locking element or elements for locking purposes.
