A sliding sun visor for use in a vehicle is disclosed. The sun visor includes a first and second visor body shell. At least one of the shells having a retaining channel for engaging and retaining a floating carrier on a visor pivot rod. It is also contemplated that the sun visor may have a snap in vanity system and rotating pin on a D-ring associated therewith. The visor body also may include a wire routing option to route a wire from the electrical system of a vehicle to a light bulb in a vanity.

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.

Various expandable mirrors and a vehicle having the same are described. An expandable mirror may include a first pane having a first reflective surface and a second pane having a second reflective surface. The expandable mirror may also include a mechanism connected with each of the first and second panes. The mechanism may be actuated to expand a viewing area of the mirror such that the expanded viewing area includes both the first and second reflective surfaces. The expandable mirror may also include a third pane having a third reflective surface that contributes to the viewing area when the mirror is expanded. The expandable mirror may also include a manual button configured to actuate or de-actuate the mechanism when pressed. The expandable mirror may also include a positioning motor configured to adjust the orientation of the viewing area of the mirror.

A visor for use in a vehicle is disclosed. The visor comprises a pivot rod and a carrier arranged over the pivot rod. The visor also comprises a first and second shell being engagable to form a visor body and a vanity arranged therein. The visor also comprises a light base secured to the second shell and a circuit board engaging the light base. The visor also comprises a light emitting diode secured to a surface of the circuit board.

This disclosure relates to a vanity mirror for a vehicle, such as a motor vehicle. An example vanity mirror includes a layer of shatter resistant material, a layer of metallic plating attached directly to the layer of shatter resistant material, a layer of adhesive material, and a glass layer attached to the layer of metallic plating via the layer of adhesive material. The disclosed vanity mirror is relatively easy to manufacture and performs well even under extreme temperature conditions (i.e., as low as −40 and as high as 120° C.) without exhibiting deformations such as bumps, cracks, or other distortions.

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 mirror unit mounted on a sun visor main body of a vehicle sun visor includes a slide mechanism configured by a pair of guide rails that guides both edges of a slide lid. Ends of the pair of guide rails have curved surfaces that allow the slide lid to be obliquely inserted into the pair of guide rails in such a manner that the knob of the slide lid runs over the frame when the slide lid is attached to the pair of guide rails of the frame such that both edges of the slide lid are respectively guided.

A sliding sun visor for use in a vehicle is disclosed. The sun visor includes a first and second visor body shell. The visor also comprises a pivot rod and a carrier slidingly arranged over the pivot rod. The first shell of the visor body includes a monorail arranged on an inside surface thereof. The carrier is slidingly engaged with the first shell wherein the carrier is arranged within or on the monorail. The carrier contacts a top portion of the monorail and a bottom portion of the monorail. The carrier is hence slidingly secured to the monorail and only connected to one of the shells used to engage to form a visor body. The visor bodies are secured via a press fit between a first boss arranged on a first shell and a second boss arranged on the second shell thus creating a secure connection that does not need screws to secure the visor halves to one another.

A multi-sectional sun visor disposed on at least a portion of a vehicle, including a first section comprising a first body disposed over a front windshield of the vehicle to prevent external light from passing therethrough, and a second section, including a second body to prevent the external light from passing therethrough, and a pivoting arm hingedly disposed at a first end within at least a portion of the second body and connected at a second end to the first body to rotate in a first direction toward the first body, and in a second direction at least partially away from the first body, such that the second body is at least partially disposed over a side window of the vehicle in the second position.

A vehicle sun visor includes a hollow visor main body that includes a frame portion including an opening, a mirror that is attached to the frame portion to face the opening, and a mirror cover configured to slide relative to the visor main body between a closed position at which the mirror cover covers the mirror and an open position at which the mirror cover exposes the mirror. The vehicle sun visor further includes at least one of a first stopper portion that is disposed at a section of the frame portion on a leading side in an opening direction of the mirror cover and protrudes toward the mirror cover, or a second stopper portion that is disposed at an end portion of the mirror cover on a leading side in a closing direction of the mirror cover and protrudes toward the mirror.
