Abstract
A sun visor for vehicles, which has a sun visor body made of plastic and a main element and an end element. The end element may be oriented obliquely in relation to the main element. A casing, which encloses all of the sun visor body and is made from foil blanks or the like, is provided for the connection between the main element and the end element. In addition to a circumferential weld bead, a weld bead fixes the foil blanks in place with respect to each other and defines a predetermined bending place in the area located between the main element and the end element. For reinforcement and for improvement of the appearance of this sun visor, a cover device is provided, which surrounds the additional weld bead and the predetermined bending location in the shape of a ring, but does not hamper the intended bending of the end element.
