Abstract: A vehicle sun visor has a bearing disposed at an upper corner portion of a visor body. A sight-through portion is defined in a lower region of the visor body in order to enable observation through the sight-through portion. The sight-through portion extends at least between an eye point on the visor body and a central point of the lower region of the visor body. A mirror assembly is movable between a usable position and a storage position without interacting with the sun visor bearing. The usable position is disposed on or proximate to the eye point. The storage position is disposed in the upper region of the visor body. The mirror assembly in the usable position and the storage position does not cover the central point of the lower region.

Abstract: A vehicle sun visor includes a visor body, a mirror mounted to the visor body, and a mirror cover slidably movable relative to the visor body along a reflective surface of the mirror between a closed position substantially covering the reflective surface of the mirror and an opened position for uncovering the reflective surface. A lighting device serves to illuminate a driver or a passenger when the mirror is used. A light control device serves to turn the lighting device from off to on as the mirror cover slides from the closed position to the opened position. The light control device also serves to control the intensity of light emitted from the lighting device in response to the position of the mirror cover.
