Abstract
The disclosure concerns an outer support bracket for use in the body of a vehicle for supporting the outer support shaft of a sun visor. The sun visor is supported by a swivel bearing at one end and by an outer support shaft at the other end. The bracket for the latter includes a base part secured to the vehicle body and a head part swingably mounted to the base part. A support opening extending across the head part receives the outer support shaft of the sun visor body and the head part is movable for reorienting the support opening to the orientation of the outer support shaft. A radially positioned introduction slot permits introduction of the support shaft into the support opening. The head part is swingable on the base part around a semi-cylindrically curved set of cooperating surfaces on the head part and base part and the head part projects from within the base part to the exterior of the base part through an opening in the base part.
