Abstract

This publication describes a visor with a visor body that can be folded around the long axle leg of an L-shaped visor axle, that can be shifted parallel to said long axle leg and that is swingably positioned around a roughly vertically aligned short axle leg. Here, the short axle leg sits in a bearing block and the free terminal area of the long axle leg is positioned separably in a first bearing housing and the arrangement of the visor body is so made that it can be shifted along the long axle leg both beyond bearing block and beyond thrust bearing housing.
