  • Publication number: 20110254309
    Abstract: Extensibly retractable sun visor equipment (10) comprises a visor body (12) formed with an interior cavity (14) extending between facing sidewalls (16) that is open to the environment along a slot (18) extending fully along the bottom edge (40) of the visor body (12) and along its opposite lateral through the slot (18). A magnetic layout comprises a number of magnetic force providing element configurations (24) fitted to the panel (24) including magnets (52) incorporated within movement limiting stop blocks (28), and magnetically attracting sheets (26) extending inside the sidewalls (16). The magnetic force between the magnets (52) and the sheets (26) is adequately strong to generate sufficient magnetic and frictional resistance to hold the panel (20) in its selected position though still permitting its multi-directional manual adjustment.
