Abstract
A sun visor for motor vehicles has a trough in one large surface which supports a mirror and an illuminating device for the mirror. A swing cover over the trough exposes or hides the mirror. A light transmissive light panel in the trough is connected with the swing cover to selectively be moved over the electric illuminating device in the trough when the cover is opened and to be moved away from the illuminating device when the swing cover is closed down over the light panel. The light panel is swingably attached to the light cover and is slidingly guided in guide slots in the trough to both swing with respect to the trough and to translate with respect to the trough. A switch on the trough is activated by the translation of the light panel to turn on and off the electric illuminating device.
