Abstract: An automotive visor includes a visor body with a slot for slidably receiving a panel which may include an illuminated vanity mirror. The panel is slidably mounted to the visor body and stabilizing structure assures that the panel moves smoothly between a stored position within the visor body and a use position extended from the visor body. In one embodiment the stabilizing structure includes cords which extend through the panel to opposite corners of the visor body. In another embodiment the stabilizing structure includes guide tracks and followers on the panel which are made of material to magnetically attract the followers to the tracks.

Abstract: A visor control comprises a U-shaped spring clamp with inwardly converging sides terminating in inwardly projecting rounded tips which circumscribe a portion of the visor rod in all positions of adjustment. The sides of the clamp include alternately staggered slots which cooperate with alternately staggered lobes and flats disposed along the longitudinal axis of the visor pivot rod for selectively camming the visor into a snap-up raised stored position and spreading the sides to frictionally hold the visor rod therebetween when the visor is lowered to a use position. A tang extends from a portion of at least one of the sides of the U-shaped clamp and extends into a recess in the body of the visor to hold the clamp against rotation.

Abstract: A visor includes a molded polymeric core having a plurality of channels on at least one side defined by a pair of spaced upstanding walls with one of the walls having a plurality of spaced notches formed therein for receiving tabs projecting outwardly from aligned upstanding walls formed in the corresponding mating visor half. The tabs extend into the corresponding slots and the backing wall prevents their removal. Visors embodying another aspect of the present invention integrally include a plurality of outwardly projecting pins and corresponding mating recesses formed continuously around the periphery on opposite visor core halves for compressing the edges of the upholstery material and clamping them in a secure position as the visor halves are brought together during manufacturing.
