A sun visor for vehicles is formed of a sun visor body constructed of plastic foam which is stiffened by a two section stiffening wire. The sun visor is supported by a mounting housing, located at one corner of the sun visor body. The mounting housing receives a sun visor support shaft. An outer support pin which can be detachably connected to a support member of the vehicle is located longitudinally opposite of the mounting housing. The mounting housing defines a first insertion opening into which is plugged one end of one of the stiffening wires and a second insertion opening which accommodates a leaf spring which bears on the sun visor support shaft. The outer support pin and the mounting housing have additional insertion holes which enable rapid connection of the stiffening wire sections to the outer support pin and to the mounting housing by plugging of the components into one another. The two stiffening wire sections are further utilized to conduct electrical power to a sun visor lamp.

Electrically conductive stiffening wire for a sun visor for vehicles

A sun visor for vehicles is provided at one corner thereof with a mounting housing for connecting the sun visor to a sun visor shaft which is mounted to the vehicle. The mounting housing is embedded in the plastic foam material of the sun visor and is secured to a stiffening wire insert which extends therethrough. A first insertion opening is defined in the mounting housing for receiving the stiffening insert and a second insertion opening is provided for supporting a leaf spring and for receiving the sun visor shaft. The spring bears against the shaft to prevent unwanted rotation of the sun visor about the shaft.
