Abstract
The disclosure concerns a sun visor for an automotive mirror having a mirror supported in a recess of the sun visor and the mirror being back lighted. The mirror is supported in a light-transmitting frame that is positioned in the recess, whereby the light behind the mirror is transmitted to illuminate the mirror. A covering over the mirror includes a covering frame and a cover flap hingedly supported on the covering frame and pivotable between positions uncovering and covering the mirror. The hinge is located at the bottom of the covering frame so that the cover flap opens downwardly. A clip connection, or the like, holds the cover flap closed to the covering frame. An operator for the light source switch is positioned to be engaged by the cover flap when the latter is closed for thereby moving the light source between the on and off positions.
