A sun visor, which generally includes a foundation which may be folded unto itself to form two foundation halves, and an upholstery cover disposed over the foundation, the foundation halves include connecting elements which engage one another to secure the foundation halves together. Additionally, a frame member may be disposed between the folded foundation halves, the frame member including connecting elements which engage corresponding connecting elements of the foundation halves to secure the foundation halves to the frame member. The foundation halves include a liner board and a bead member section. The bead member section is secured to the outer edge of the liner board with a liner board interlocking mechanism which prevents the liner board and the bead member section from separating. A cover retention assembly is associated with each of the foundation halves and engages the ends of the upholstery cover to secure the cover to the sun visor foundation.

Clip lock visor

A sun visor, which generally includes a foundation which maybe folded unto itself to form two foundation halves, and an upholstery cover disposed over the foundation, the foundation halves include connecting elements which engage one another to secure the foundation halves together. Additionally, a frame member may be disposed between the folded foundation halves, the frame member including connecting elements which engage corresponding connecting elements of the foundation halves to secure the foundation halves to the frame member. For example, in one embodiment, a plurality of clips may be integrally formed in a pair of connecting strips which are each associated with a foundation half, the clips of the connecting strips engaging one another when the foundation halves are pressed together to secure the foundation halves together.

A sun visor assembly having a core member comprising an integral visor clip assembly. The sun visor is formed from either a substantially flat foundation that is folded unto itself, thereby forming two foundation halves, or from a pair of discreet foundation halves. The edge of the foundation, whether it comprises a single member folded unto itself or a pair of discreet halves, is shaped to correspond to the visor clip assembly, such that the foundation does not have to be cut-out to accommodate the visor clip assembly. This obviates the need to stretch and pull the upholstery cover through cutout portions in the foundation, thereby leading to a more efficient and less complex assembly of the sun visor.

Sun visor assembly having a rounded edge

A sun visor, which generally includes a foundation which may be folded unto itself to form two foundation halves, and an upholstery cover disposed over the foundation, the foundation halves include connecting elements which engage one another to secure the foundation halves together. Additionally, a frame member may be disposed between the folded foundation halves, the frame member including connecting elements which engage corresponding connecting elements of the foundation halves to secure the foundation halves to the frame member. For example, in one embodiment, a plurality of clips may be integrally formed in a pair of connecting strips which are each associated with a foundation half, the clips of the connecting strips engaging one another when the foundation halves are pressed together to secure the foundation halves together.
