Abstract

A sun visor, particularly for automotive vehicles, includes a sun visor body which is equipped with a mirror in which a passenger may view himself and with a source of light for illuminating the passenger. The source of light is positioned above the mirror. The mirror and/or the source of light are swingable with respect to the sun visor body or is supported on respective covers swingable with respect to the sun visor body that the mirror and the source of light are spaced at relatively great vertical distances away from each other in their respective positions of use to thereby reduce dazzling of the viewer due to the source of light.
