  • Patent number: 7320493
    Abstract: A sun visor includes a sun-visor body, an auxiliary visor, a sub-plate and a spring. The auxiliary visor is attached to the sun-visor body slidably. The sub-plate is attached to the auxiliary visor to slide between a first position where the auxiliary visor receives the sub-plate and a second position where the sub-plate is withdrawn from the auxiliary visor. The spring urges the sub-plate toward the second position. The spring includes a base and two arm portions continuous to the base. The center portion of a spring wire forms the base of the spring. The two arm portions are bent to cross each other. A center portion of the base is convex toward an intersection of the two arm portions. The base abuts against one of the auxiliary visor and the sub-plate. The two arm portions abut against the other to urge the other elastically.
