A method of manufacturing a plastic molding having a web of decorative material as a covering. The web is larger than the molding in at least one direction defining a protrusion beyond at least one edge of the molding to be made. A plasticized plastic composition is fed in plasticized condition to an open mold cavity of a mold consisting of lower and upper mold halves. The web is placed over the composition in the mold. The molding is compressed into shape by closing the mold over the composition and against the web of decorative material arranged between the mold halves. Over the protrusion, the mold defines a skin of the plastic. The plasticized plastic composition is compression molded, at least in regions also against the protrusion of the web of decorative material, forming the skin. The protrusion is turned around the edges of the molding after the hardening thereof, and the protrusion with its skin is heat welded to the edge or rear of the molding.

Method of manufacturing a plastic molding

A sun visor with a reversible mirror. The visor body has a recess in a wide side of the sun visor body. A trough-shaped housing is arranged in the recess. A reversibly mounted mirror is received in the housing. A yoke comprising two arms and a cross arm is mounted for swinging around the cross arm and lies flat in the housing closely adjacent to three adjoining housing walls. The yoke is swingable away from the housing bottom against the restoring force of a spring means acting on the yoke arms. The mirror is mounted for turning between the arms of the yoke.
