A visor assembly for a vehicle includes a visor body comprising adjacent hingedly connected panels each fabricated of a polarizing material. A closure is provided to hold the adjacent panels in a closed configuration. The assembly may further include an articulating mirror assembly whose movement is independent of any movement of the visor assembly.

Disclosed herein are accessory devices and systems for vehicles including: a base plate assembly comprising a base plate and an articulating bracket, the base plate configured to be fixedly secured to a portion of a vehicle and the articulating bracket configured to be releasably secured to the vehicle using the base plate at a plurality of locations; and at least one auxiliary visor panel or accessory connected to the base plate assembly. Also disclosed herein are method of using the disclosed devices and systems for interchangeably moving the base plate assembly with connected auxiliary visor panel or accessory between vehicles.

A rotation system for a vehicle sun visor that includes a rod coupled to the vehicle sun visor, wherein the rod is configured to couple to a vehicle to support the vehicle sun visor within an interior of the vehicle, and the rod is configured to facilitate rotation of the vehicle sun visor about the rod. The rotation system also includes a contact element non-rotatably coupled to the rod. The rotation system further includes a biasing element configured to urge a contact surface against the contact element to control rotation of the vehicle sun visor about the rod.

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 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.

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.
