Abstract: Sunshade, intended for use in motor vehicles and substantially comprising a light-shielding unit. Said unit is arranged to be pivotally suspended in a fixed portion of the vehicle by means of a hinge, which substantially comprises a rod-shaped shaft part and a sleeve-shaped part. One of said parts is anchored to said fixed portion of the vehicle and the other is rigidly connected with the shielding unit. Said two parts are pivotally connected each other by a suitably chosen frictional force. The sleeve-shaped part has at least one sleeve-portion, which tends to occupy a position radially displaced relative to the principal pivoting axis of the hinge.
