Abstract: A sunvisor comprises a body, an attachment device for pivotally attaching the body to an automobile structure, a support releasably engageable by the body, and weakening structure for facilitating disconnection of the body from the attachment device and for the support in the event of collision, the weakening structure including a first weakening groove provided in the region Of the attachment device, and a second weakening groove provided in the region of the support.

Abstract: An automobile sun visor has a one-piece hollow body member having a substantially rectangular cross section with two small sides and two large sides and a plurality of reinforcing ribs located in an interior of the body member, at least some of the reinforcing ribs extending from one of the larger internal sides and having free ends abutting against another of the larger internal sides so as to prevent deformation of the hollow body member.

Abstract: An automobile sun visor has a visor body, an internal structural member arranged in the visor body and having shorter sides, a retaining clip attached to one of the shorter sides of the internal structural member and having arms provided with front edges which are flush with an outer surface of a side of the sun visor body, and a longitudinal bag-shaped sheath which covers an outer surface of the visor body and has a free end which forms a joint line on the front edges of the arms of the retaining clip.

Abstract: A spring hinge for automobile sunvisors has a one-piece member composed of a resilient material and having an upper region formed as a longitudinal housing for grippingly receiving a pivot pin of a bracket member of a sunvisor, an intermediate region formed as a longitudinal narrowing, and a lower region formed as a substantially rectangular longitudinal portion with two side walls, the longitudinal portion having two extensions extending inwardly from lower end of the side walls and two terminal flanges extending from free ends of the extensions toward the housing, each of the side walls and the extensions being provided with two transverse slits starting from the narrowing and arranged at opposite sides from a transverse center line of each side wall and the bent extension so as to form a central flexing grip tab and two lateral attachment tabs in each the side wall and the extension so that when the spring hinge is fully housed in a hollow body member of the sunvisor the attachment tabs are located permane

Abstract: A retaining spring for automobile sun visor hinges has a body member which is symmetrical about a central plane and has one transverse side and two longitudinal sides. The one transverse side is provided with a longitudinal slot, while two longitudinal sides are provided with longitudinally arranged recesses and with inclined resilient tabs separated by a slot and insertable in a sun visor. The resilient tabs define an inner recess for grippingly receiving a pivot pin of a bent support of a sun visor. A remaining transverse side of the body member together with the two longitudinal sides defines a chamber for snugly receiving means setting a position occupied by a spring within the sun visor.

Abstract: A sunvisor mirror comprises a casing having opposite sides, a cover rotatable about an axis of rotation relative to the casing, an opening and closing device including two identical holding springs arranged in the interior of the casing, one on each of the sides and close to the axis of rotation of the cover, each of the holding springs being attached to the casing and the cover, retaining members attaching the holding springs to the casing and the cover so that one end of the holding springs is hooked in the casing and the other of the holding springs acts on the cover so that from an intermediate position of a rotary path of the cover two opposite automatic directions of rotation of the cover which are an opening direction and a closing direction are provided.

Abstract: The attachment device has a plurality of attachment projections (1) and respective retaining elements (MR). The attachment projections (1) are essentially cylindrical and project from the bottom wall of the cavity (2) formed in the one-piece casing (3), produced by plastics blow molding techniques, of the sunvisor. The cavity (2) receives the vanity mirror boxlike shell (4) so that the attachment projections (1) penetrate in the interior of the boxlike shell (4) through respective through holes (7). The boxlike shell (4) is firmly fixed in the cavity (2) by retaining means (MR) constituted by a plastic deformation (10) of the free end of the attachment projection (1), or by a self-tapping screw (11) or by an internally toothed washer (12), or by a self-tapping nut (14) which, in any case, presses the boxlike shell (4) against the bottom wall of the cavity (2).

Abstract: A sunvisor for automobiles has the following elements. A one-piece casing composed of a plastic material. A retaining spring has a housing for retaining a pivot pin of a support attached to an automobile structure, so that the retaining ring may snugly rotate about the pin. The retaining spring and the pivot pin have mechanical means allowing a rest position of the sunvisor to be set. A hanging bridge is engageable with a support attached to the automobile structure and an external covering is formed as a sheath. The retaining spring is a one-piece member and is arranged in an interior of the casing totally covered by he casing and held firmly in a required position. The retaining spring is accessible from outside of the casing through a single orifice formed in the casing so that it may snugly slide for coupling with a pivot pin of the bent support attached to the automobile structure.
