Abstract: The sun visor has a sun-visor body which is swingable around and longitudinally displaceable on a shaft. A detent device prevents unintended axial displacement. There are two contact springs which are insulated from each other and are connected with electric wires leading to an illuminating device arranged in the sun-visor body. One of the contact springs snaps into an indentation on the contact sleeve and the other one snaps into an indentation in the shaft. The shaft (connected at one end to the contact sleeve), consists of a metal tube serving as ground connector through which an electric conductor is conducted. The contact sleeve is by an insulating sleeve. The detent device serves not only for the detent engagement of the sun-visor body but also to supply current to the illuminating device.

Abstract: A vehicle sun visor having a sun-visor body with a sun-visor shaft at a corner. One end region of the shaft is seated in a bearing housing in the sun-visor body and clamped against by a spring. The end region of the sun-visor shaft has as a detent an axial region corresponding to the axial extent of the spring. The sun-visor shaft has three circumferential regions of different diameter over the axial detent region including a flat, and starting from one lengthwise edge of the flat, a circular arc region and, adjoining that, a region which is spirally decreasing in diameter toward the opposite circumferential edge of the flat.

Abstract: A sun visor for a motor vehicle comprising a sun visor body developed as a cushioning body embedded in a covering formed from two precut sheets which are welded around the circumference to each other by high frequency welding. A stiffening reinforcement insert is disposed within the cushioning body. A swing mounting pin is formed on the reinforcing insert generally inward from the upper circumferential edge of the visor body. That pin has two diametrically opposite either axially extending flats or groove shaped depressions. The flat or depressions prevent a buildup of the weld beads produced upon the high frequency welding. There are at least two radially protruding, axially extending ribs defined on the mounting pin which penetrate into the covering material and prevent relative movement therebetween. The mounting shaft for the visor body extends into a mounting housing and the mounting shaft and the swing mounting pin are axially aligned.
