Abstract: An extendable sun visor, for the window of a motor vehicle, includes a sunshade windable on a rotatable winding shaft to a retracted position and unwindable from the winding shaft to an extended position. Guide rails are at the lateral sides of the sunshade. A gripping strip to be gripped by a user is attached to the free edge of the sunshade and joins the guide rails. A toothed rack is on each guide rail. A toothed wheel on the winding shaft engages each toothed rack. A spring may normally urge the winding shaft to the sunshade retracted position. A brake may slow retraction. A detent sets the extent of the extension of the guide rails.

Abstract: An attachment part for the interior of a vehicle, such as a hand grip (31) or sun visor (33, 37), has a receiving housing (4) adapted to grip over a bearing bracket (6) which is to be fastened to an attachment wall of the vehicle. The attachment part is swingably pivoted on the bearing bracket. In order to obtain a simplified mounting, the bearing bracket (6) is formed with a detent nose (9) which is adapted for passing through an opening (22) in the attachment wall (21) and for engaging behind the edge of the opening. Pivoted to the bearing bracket (6) is a detent lever (12) having an axis of rotation (13) directed parallel to the pivot pin (7).

Abstract: The disclosure concerns various embodiments of a sun-visor for mounting at the front side window of an automotive vehicle. The sun-visor body is shifted up and down and may also be shifted laterally for covering the front side window of the vehicle, without swinging about a horizontal axis. Various mounting arrangements for the visor body are disclosed, including pivot links, pivotally attaching the visor body to the vehicle body; guide projections formed on one of the visor body and the vehicle body and a guide pathway for the guide projections being formed on the other; and tenons on the visor body which are received in respective guide tubes on the vehicle body. The guide pathway in the surface of the visor body for receiving a guide projection from the vehicle body, or vice-versa, may be obliquely inclined, arcuately curved or bent at an angle intermediate its length for defining both up and down and/or lateral motion of the visor body for covering the front side window.

Abstract: An instrument panel for an automotive vehicle is attached to a rigid beam that extends across the vehicle body beneath the windshield. The instrument panel is a plastic injection molding. Its outer surface may be provided with cushioning material. At the underside of the panel, beneath its top portion, at least two ribs are provided, which extend across the width of the vehicle and of the instrument panel, are spaced apart and have free edges that rest against the beam inside the vehicle, so that the instrument panel, the ribs and the beam together define an air duct extending across the width of the instrument panel. A seal may be provided at the free edge of each rib for sealing it to the beam. The air duct communicates with windshield defroster nozzles, or the like in the instrument panel.

Abstract: A sun visor, particularly for automotive vehicles, includes a sun visor body which is equipped with a mirror in which a passenger may view himself and with a source of light for illuminating the passenger. The source of light is positioned above the mirror. The mirror and/or the source of light are swingable with respect to the sun visor body or is supported on respective covers swingable with respect to the sun visor body that the mirror and the source of light are spaced at relatively great vertical distances away from each other in their respective positions of use to thereby reduce dazzling of the viewer due to the source of light.

Abstract: A door, particularly for a car, is a rigidified plastic unit. It comprises an integral plastic door inner part having a box-shaped lower part with an open side facing outwardly and having a window frame at the top thereof. There is a door outer part which is fitted over the open box-shaped inner part for closing off the same. Optionally, an H-shaped reinforcing element is disposed between the inner and outer parts, with two legs of the H extending partially through a U-shaped channel which shapes the upper part of the window frame. The window pane is part of the outer door part and may be integral therewith. An air duct may be defined in the door inner part or in the reinforcing element for blowing air over the window.

Abstract: The disclosure concerns a sun visor body having a flat core, which may be in the form of a plastic material insert, and which has a peripheral molding defined on it. A covering material for covering over the core is fastened to the outwardly facing side surfaces of the peripheral molding by being bonded or welded thereto or being attached by a heat-sensitive bonding agent. Foam padding layers may be placed between the core and the covering material.

Abstract: A vehicle sun visor body has its rear edge pivotally supported in a slide slot running generally along the roof of the vehicle, a strap is pivotally connected to the visor body forward of the rear thereof and is also pivotally connected at the vehicle roof, whereby as the rear of the visor body moves toward the windshield, the front moves down along the windshield.

Abstract: A sun visor, including a mirror which can be lighted: there is an outer frame secured in the visor body and an inner frame which can be snapped into and out of the inner frame between two pivot positions; an electric contact on the inner frame engages a contact on the outer frame when the inner frame is flipped out; a spring biased latch holds the inner frame in the outer frame; when the latch is released, a spring biases the inner frame to be flipped out.

Abstract: Vehicle sun visor having molded plastic reinforcing insert, with the insert including tension stays extending from the visor padding across the body of the insert and intersecting connecting stays.
