Abstract

The disclosure concerns a sun visor including a visor body which is adapted to slide axially along a pivot-bearing housing defined along one longitudinal edge of the sun visor body, whereby the sun visor can be swiveled around that pivot-bearing housing and the sun-visor body can move along the pivot bearing housing. Inside the pivot-bearing housing is disposed one arm of the support shaft for the visor. A sleeve that is around the shaft and inside the pivot-bearing housing is slidable along the shaft and is fixed to the pivot-bearing housing by a spring which acts upon the sleeve through a window in the pivot-bearing housing. A second slide member is positioned toward the free end of the shaft. The end of the pivot-bearing housing supports a fastened on clip, which closes that end of the pivot-bearing housing. The reinforcing insert for the sun-visor body is also supported between flanges formed on the pivot-bearing housing.
