Abstract: A motor vehicle sun visor having a generally flat sun visor body usually of foamed plastic material, having an approximately rectangular peripheral contour. In one corner region of the sun visor body, a mounting housing is disposed in the body. The housing has a bore which extends approximately parallel to the upper longitudinal edge of the sun visor body. An end region of the sun visor support and mounting shaft is received in that bore. A plug-in opening to that bore intersects it at approximately a right angle. A plug disposed in the visor body is positioned to plug into the plug-in opening. Electrical wires supported on the sun visor shaft have external contact elements. Electric contacts on the plug are contactable with the contact elements on the sun visor shaft. The plug has electrically contactable elements away from the shaft. A microswitch on the visor includes contact pins which contact the contactable elements on the plug.

Abstract: A key holder arrangement for one or a plurality of spare keys, with which advertising may be effectively used, comprising a planar base member approximately the size of a typical business card, and of a thickness approximating the thickness of a key. The base member has opposing faces thereon, and one or more cutouts therein, each cutout being of a size closely conforming to the key to be received, such that the key can be frictionally retained therein. One of the faces of the base member is coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive, with a backer sheet normally residing on the pressure sensitive adhesive, to prevent the base member from adhering to an extraneous object. The backer sheet is to be readily peeled away from the adhesive preparatory to the placement of the backside of a business card in contact with the adhesive, and in careful alignment with the base member.
