Abstract

The invention relates to a sun visor for vehicles, having a sun visor body which can bend along its longitudinal extension and can be pivoted out of a rest position into a multiple number of use positions, and which can be held in these positions. In order to ensure that the sun visor body automatically bends in the course of the pivoting process on a bent shaft, the sun visor body is pivotably mounted on a curved through shaft. Between the rotatably mounted end regions of the curved shaft it is guided so as to be rotatable and slideable in the direction of a transverse extension of the sun visor body through an intermediate bearing engaging in bifurcated fashion around an associated longitudinal portion of the curved shaft. The sun visor body is guided so as to be longitudinally displaceable on the curved shaft to allow for correct positioning when the visor body and curved shaft are pivoted to be in front of a side window of a vehicle.
