Abstract

A vehicle sun visor includes a plastic foam body molded around a stiffening wire frame. The wire frame is a single wire that is bent to define two spaced apart wire eyes oriented to receive the visor mounting shaft through them, and to define a cross piece extending between and connecting the eyes. A visor shaft clamping spring is fastened to the cross piece between the wire eyes. The ends of the bent wire frame are overlapped, enclosed in a plastic enclosure and are located at the visor body to define the outer support pin.
