A mechanism is provided to reciprocate an element with a motor rotating in one direction to produce forward and reverse motion by a drive wheel in contact with the obverse and reverse faces of the element. The element can take various forms such as a sliding door covering a vanity mirror in a vehicular sun visor, a sliding drawer or a pivoting door.

Reciprocating mechanism

An illuminated vanity mirror assembly is provided for snap mounting in a vehicular sun visor. A cover is hinged to a base member carrying the mirror for opening rotation along an axis parallel to the swinging axis of the visor with the cover containing the lighting. In a preferred embodiment the assembly has a round compact shape.

A pivot rod for a sun visor having a lighted vanity mirror which is constructed with two L-shaped semi-cylindrical members so that both wires for the circuit can be inserted into a channel prior to assembly. A connector is applied to the wires extending from the mounting socket end of the pivot rod, and the wires extending from the longer leg of the L-shaped pivot rod which is inserted into the sun visor are connected to the lighting circuit in the sun visor.

A lighted mirror sun visor assembly including a molded plastic base core member and a molded plastic cover core member. The exterior surface of the core members are covered with an upholstery material. The pivot rod, visor storage position spring, lighting circuit including lamps, mirror and sliding door are all preloaded into the base core member. Finally the cover core member is snapped locked to the base core member and the upholstery material is permanently held in place by separate retention means creating a unique seam with an overall aesthetic appearance.

A motor vehicle sun visor having a molded plastic lattice work frame capable of receiving an optional vanity mirror. The frame has an integrally molded mounting socket for receiving a swing and pivot rod which connects to a vehicle mounting bracket for installation of the sun visor in the vehicle, providing swinging between a storage and a use position and pivoting between a windshield and a side window use position.

Sun visor frame and mounting structure

A sun visor and vanity mirror assembly. A sliding door covers the mirror for protection should the mirror be broken, and when the mirror is in use, the door is slid below the visor outer cover obviating the potential danger of a hinge-type door.
