Abstract: A sun visor for automotive vehicles having a flat, generally rectangular, sun-visor body on which is provided in one corner a mounting bracket. The bracket may be formed by plastic injection molding and includes a mounting borehole for receiving one end region of a sun-visor shaft. The bracket supports a U-shaped leaf spring located in the borehole which radially clamps the end region of the sun-visor shaft. The arms of the spring are placed in recesses which are formed in the wall of the mounting borehole. The leaf spring is located within an insertion opening which is defined at one end of the mounting borehole. The insertion opening and the leaf spring located there are enclosed by a closure element.

Abstract: A plasma source constituting an ion accelerator operating in the presence of an intense magnetic induction for obtaining plasma of large transverse section and comprising a chamber having an inlet for gas and a device to produce electrical discharge at high frequency in the chamber to form a plasma from the gas. A plurality of parallel channels are disposed in axial extension from the chamber and a magnetic induction coil surrounds the channels for producing the intense magnetic induction in a direction parallel to the channels.
