A sun visor includes a screen slidably mounted over a shaft attachable to a vehicle. A guiding profile is mounted in the screen, and a slider is rotatably mounted over the shaft and housed inside the guiding profile such that the guiding profile can slide longitudinally over the slider to establish a slide on rod function for the sun visor. A detent spring clip is attached to the slider and engages elastically over the shaft of the sun visor such that upon rotation of the screen of the sun visor, it is possible to establish a shading position and an inoperative position for the sun visor. The detent spring clip includes an asymmetrical shape to fit to an asymmetrical core shape of the slider in a single position. The slider includes an asymmetrical external shape to fit to an asymmetrical internal shape of the guiding profile in a single position. The guiding profile includes an asymmetrical external shape to fit to an internal shape of the screen in a single position.

A visor assembly for a vehicle includes a visor housing including a first side and a second side spaced apart from and cooperating with the first side to define an outer periphery having an opening extending through the first and second sides of the visor housing and an inner periphery having at least one receiving surface cooperating with the opening. At least one support is disposed in the inner periphery of the visor housing and cooperating with the at least one receiving surface. A cover panel having an elongate body received is within the channel and movable relative to the at least support between at least a first position at least partially covering the opening and a second position. A biasing member selectively positions the cover panel in the second position.

A vehicle sun visor assembly includes a circuit board having a mounting surface. The vehicle sun visor assembly also includes a top-emitting light emitting diode (LED) mounted on the mounting surface of the circuit board. In addition, the vehicle sun visor assembly includes a light guide having a light emitting surface and a light receiving surface. The light receiving surface is substantially perpendicular to the light emitting surface, and the light guide is configured to receive light emitted from the top-emitting LED through the light receiving surface and to emit the light from the top-emitting LED through the light emitting surface toward a vehicle interior.

An illumination unit for an interior chamber of a vehicle includes at least one light source integrated into a surface side of a sun shield facing towards an occupant in a non-usage position of the sun shield. The at least one light source emits light in the activated state which is directed towards the occupant. A covering element is provided for covering a light outlet surface of the light source.

A vehicle sun visor includes: a visor main body; and a slide component slidably mounted on the visor main body and including a slide main body, card holding parts provided so as to have clearances from the slide main body in a thickness direction, a stopper that restricts an amount of movement of a card inserted through the clearances into a gap between the slide main body and the card holding parts, the card moving along a surface of the slide main body, and a grip that protrudes from the slide main body, is gripped to slide the slide component relative to the visor main body, and serves as a part of the stopper.

An aircraft sun visor thumb knob attachment device includes a cylindrical-shaped main body having a top end, a bottom end, and a continuous side wall that defines an interior space. A plurality of protrusions are positioned along the inside facing surface of the side wall so as to extend within the interior space. The interior space includes a shape and a size that is complementary to the shape and the size of the grip portion of a known aircraft sun visor control knob. Likewise, each of the protrusions include a shape and size that are suitable for positioning within the indentations of the control knob. A grip assembly is positioned along the top end of the main body and includes a support member that is communicatively linked to a pair of elongated tabs. Each of the tabs include functionality for transitioning between a horizontal position and a vertical position.

An automobile visor organizer is taught which includes an area for storing a mobile device, an identification card, and a document. The mobile device storage area includes means for removably affixing a mobile device thereto. The invention includes a hook for removably holding an identification card, and a document aperture for storing a document therein. The invention includes a document guide on its backside for supporting the inserted document. The invention also includes a wireless charging pad with the mobile device storage area.

A vehicle sun visor (14) includes a rod assembly (22) and a body (20) configured to rotate about the rod assembly. The vehicle sun visor also includes an electrical connection assembly (18) having a first electrical connector (34) disposed about at least a portion of a periphery of the rod assembly along a circumferential axis of the rod assembly. The electrical connection assembly also includes a second electrical connector (36) coupled to the body and having multiple fingers (44). The fingers are biased toward the first electrical connector (34) to establish contact between the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector, and the fingers (44) are offset from one another along the circumferential axis of the rod assembly, such that at least one finger contacts the first electrical connector throughout a rotational range of motion of the body about the rod assembly.

A virtual visor system is disclosed that includes a visor having a plurality of independently operable pixels that are selectively operated with a variable opacity/transparency. A camera captures images of the face of a driver or other passenger and, based on the captured images, a controller operates the visor to automatically and selectively darken a limited portion thereof to block the sun or other illumination source from striking the eyes of the driver, while leaving the remainder of the visor transparent. The virtual visor system advantageously eliminates unnecessary obstructions to the driver's view while also blocking distracting light sources, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle.

A sun visor actuation system including an attachment apparatus configured to attach to an automobile structure, an arm member rotatably attached to the attachment apparatus, a body member attached to the arm member, and an actuation system. The actuation system is operable to at least one of rotate the body member and prevent the rotation of the body member responsive to an indication of an imminent collision.
