A sun visor for automobiles that makes operation smooth and minimizes a reaction force, the sun visor includes a sun visor body including a supporter receiver (Rs) having both side walls, a top surface and a bottom surface; a shaft horizontally disposed in the supporter receiver through one side wall; and a supporter received in the supporter receiver (Rs) of the sun visor body, and rotatably supported by shaft support holes, to which the shaft is inserted, while horizontal movement of the supporter is limited, in which upper and lower portions of front and rear surfaces of the supporter are provided with upper support curved surfaces and lower support curved surfaces in a longitudinal direction which are opposite to each other.

A slide-on-rod assembly includes a tube and a carriage configured to move within the tube. The carriage has a first contact surface, the carriage includes a wing rotatably coupled to a body of the carriage, the wing has a second contact surface, the first contact surface of the carriage is configured to contact a corresponding first contact surface of the tube, and the second contact surface of the wing is configured to contact a corresponding second contact surface of the tube. The slide-on-rod assembly also includes a biasing member coupled to the at least one wing and to the body of the carriage. The biasing member is configured to drive the first contact surface of the carriage into contact with the corresponding first contact surface of the tube and the second contact surface of the wing into contact with the corresponding second contact surface of the tube.

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.

An adjustable sun visor apparatus having: a bar received into an open-pipe arm; an auxiliary visor panel; a ball; a plug; a tension spring; a ball compartment configured to house the ball and the plug and pivot around the ball; a vertical clip configured to receive a portion of the ball and to grip a sun visor; a bend-resistant spring configured to receive the plug and the open-pipe arm; a twin capsule configured to receive the ball and the tension spring; wherein the tension spring biases the bend-resistant spring downwards; such that a movement of the sun visor causes the bar to move within the open-pipe arm and thus prevents a movement of the auxiliary visor panel; such that the sun visor blocks light from the front and the auxiliary visor panel blocks light from the side in a vehicle.

A carrier assembly for a vehicle extendable sun visor includes a track element defining a channel, a compression spring disposed within the channel, and a carrier slidably received within the channel, the carrier including a spring plate detent. A first compression spring end may contact a first track element end and a second, opposed compression spring end may contact the carrier. The track element includes a detent aperture for engaging the spring plate detent. The spring plate detent may include a pin for engaging the detent aperture. An arm is slidably received within the carrier and the track element. Extendable sun visor assemblies including the carrier assembly are described.

A sun visor assembly comprises a support rod displaceable between a first position, extending along a windshield, and a second position extending along a side window. A visor body is carried on the support rod. A cam is configured to displace the visor body along the support rod from a home position to an extended position as the support rod is displaced toward the second position. A sun visor operating method and method of educating an operator with respect to a capability of a visor body to slide along a support rod are also disclosed.

A vehicle visor includes a visor body having a recessed track assembly disposed therein. An extension blade is slideably mounted to the visor body between stowed and deployed positions. A connecting member includes first and second ends. The first end is received in the recessed track assembly for sliding movement along a continuous loop of the recessed track assembly. The second end is operably coupled to the extension blade for lateral movement therewith between stowed, deployed and clearance positions.

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.
