  • Patent number: 4971383
    Abstract: To improve the usability of the combination sun visor for shading spaces between two right and left main sun visors, the combination sun visor comprises two main sun visors, a rearview mirror support formed with a subvisor housing hollow portion, and two subvisors slidably housed within the subvisor housing hollow portion. In use, when the main sun visors are pivoted down to their working positions, the subvisors are simply pulled out of the mirror support. Further, when completely slid out of the mirror support, the subvisors are pivotable for adjustment. Further, a mirror is preferably attached to the rear surface of the subvisor so as to be usable as a vanity mirror or an auxiliary rearview mirror.
