A mount for insertion into a hollow space of a hollow structure such as a vehicular pillar includes an expandable foam substrate having a at least one support panel secured thereto via a tack. The so-formed assembly is disposed within the hollow space via a mount component which includes a base having a pair of spaced apart mounting pieces which extend from the base, the assembly being disposed between the mount pieces. The assembly is tacked to the mount component by having a tack wire project through the support panel, the foam substrate and the mounting piece. The mount is secured to the interior wall of the hollow space through either a clip, a magnet, a suction disc or the like.

Mount construction of foam substrate in hollow structures

A support structure including a foamable material located in a cavity of a hollow structural member for blocking the cavity of the hollow structural member when it is foamed and expanded by external heating, and at least one sucking disk provided on at least one side of the foamable material. The sucking disk sticking to an inner surface of the hollow structural member so that the foamable material is fixed in the cavity of the hollow structural member.

Support structure for supporting foamable material on hollow structural

A sun visor includes a pair of symmetrical shells of which the mating surfaces are bonded to each other. Each of the shells includes a dish-like base member having an annular end surface and a sheet member adhered to the outer surface of the base member. Each of the sheet members has a folded portion which is formed by folding the end portion thereof along the annular end surface of the base member. The outer surface of the folded portion of the sheet member cooperates with the annular end surface of the base member to form the mating surface. The bonding of the mating surfaces is performed by fusion bonding of the annular end surfaces of the base members.
