Abstract
A sun visor for an automobile includes a base visor portion having a top panel and a bottom panel each including a front surface, a rear surface, an upper edge, a lower edge, and opposite side edges, and a spacer element disposed between and attached to the top and bottom panels, maintaining the top and bottom panels in spaced, aligned, overlying relation to define a gap therebetween. A central panel is slidably held within the gap in sandwiched relation between the top and bottom panels and includes a peripheral zone and a pair of identically shaped channels disposed in adjacent relation to one another in an upper central zone. Guide members travel within the guide channels to permit movement of the central panel in predetermined directions throughout a range of selectively adjusted positions so that the central panel extends partially from between the top and bottom panels, exposing portions of the peripheral zone at different locations about the sides and bottom of the base visor portion.
