An L-shaped support shaft for a sun visor body including a first support arm received in a mounting bracket on the vehicle body and a second longer support arm that extends into a mounting housing of a sun visor body and is held there by detent spring. The support shaft may comprise a metal or steel tube. A flat on the longer second arm receives the detent spring of the mounting housing. The free end region of the first short arm has a smaller diameter than the rest of the support shaft. A sprayed on plastic body over the bend of the L-shaped support shaft and extending up both of the arms, toward but not over the free end region of the first arm and toward but not over the flat of the second arm. At the first arm, the plastic body defines a mounting shank terminating in a mushroom head toward the free end. Electrical connection contacts are disposed over the long arm. A conductor wire extends through the support shaft from the free end region of the first arm to the contact on the second arm.

Support shaft for a vehicle sun visor

A sun visor body for a vehicle is comprised of polypropylene particle foam, having a depression on one broad side into which a mirror which is held by a frame is inserted. The frame is an injection molding comprised of polypropylene. The free end region or edge of the insertable web of the frame is integrally fused to the bottom of the depression in the sun visor body due to initial heating of the free end region. The resulting deformation of the web also securely holds the edge of the mirror.

Sun visor for vehicles with integrated mirror frame

A vehicle sun visor having a body comprised of polypropylene particle foam with a recess in its broad side for receiving a mirror supported in a frame. A series of openings arrayed in the visor body around the periphery of the recess. The frame being an integral plastic injection molding with anchoring pins defined on it at locations corresponding to the openings in the visor body, and the pins being installed in the openings for holding the mirror and frame to the recess. Each of the anchoring pins having a ring like elevation around it which engages in the opening in the visor body.

Sun visor for vehicles with mirror attachment

A mounting shaft for a car visor having a lighting fixture. The mounting shaft includes an inner L-shaped preform and an outer L-shaped supplementary body surrounding it. The preform and the supplementary body are plastic injection-molded parts. Two electric connecting wires and two contact pins are incorporated in the preform. The preform includes an end part to which the contact pins are attached by direct extrusion coating to be connectable to the lighting fixture. Two half shells are integrally formed on the end part and connected to it by two hinge connection. Each half shell includes an open cavity for receiving an electric wire and can be swung together to be fastened with the inclusion of the electric connecting wires.
