Abstract

The disclosure concerns a support for a sun visor. The support includes a flat support member and a clamping spring which wraps around the support shaft for the sun visor at a cutout in the flat support member. The spring extends from a web wrapped around the mounting shaft and has arms extending past the opposite surfaces of the support member to beneath the support member. One arm of the clamping spring terminates in a hook defined by two successive bends. The other arm terminates in an inclined extension, and the extension terminates at a hooking edge at the bend in the second arm defining the extension. The hook of the first arm hooks behind the hooking edge of the second arm. The extension on the second arm defines a bevel for guiding the hook of the first arm behind the hooking edge. The hooking edge is defined in a window cut into the extension of the second arm.
