A sun visor for motor vehicles, in particular for commercial vehicles, is described, which is mainly intended for placement in the area of the long side of the cab and has a sun visor body (1), which has two seating brackets (2), can be pivoted around an approximately horizontal pivot axis and is displaceably conducted via the seating brackets (2) along a guide rail (4) which is parallel with the pivot axis and has a C-shaped profile, open toward the visible side. In accordance with the invention it is provided, that the ends of the seating brackets (2) facing away from the sun visor body (1) are arranged on a carriage (3) made of plastic and guided in the guide rail (4), and that on its edges extending in the displacement direction the carriage (3) has a plurality of slide strips (12, 13, 14) supported in the guide rail (4), which are embodied at one of these edges in the form of resilient bridges (15), which are respectively connected in one-piece with the carriage (3) and are arched toward the outside, wherein a free space (16) is located between each resilient bridge (15) and the adjoining carriage edge, in which a spring (17) is arranged, which charges the resilient bridge (15) in the direction toward the exterior.

Sun visor for motor vehicles

The sun visor has a sun-visor body which is swingable around and longitudinally displaceable on a shaft. A detent device prevents unintended axial displacement. There are two contact springs which are insulated from each other and are connected with electric wires leading to an illuminating device arranged in the sun-visor body. One of the contact springs snaps into an indentation on the contact sleeve and the other one snaps into an indentation in the shaft. The shaft (connected at one end to the contact sleeve), consists of a metal tube serving as ground connector through which an electric conductor is conducted. The contact sleeve is by an insulating sleeve. The detent device serves not only for the detent engagement of the sun-visor body but also to supply current to the illuminating device.

A vehicle sun visor having a sun-visor body with a sun-visor shaft at a corner. One end region of the shaft is seated in a bearing housing in the sun-visor body and clamped against by a spring. The end region of the sun-visor shaft has as a detent an axial region corresponding to the axial extent of the spring. The sun-visor shaft has three circumferential regions of different diameter over the axial detent region including a flat, and starting from one lengthwise edge of the flat, a circular arc region and, adjoining that, a region which is spirally decreasing in diameter toward the opposite circumferential edge of the flat.
