Abstract
A visor includes a mounting structure secured to the headliner of a vehicle above a window and a pair of parallel spaced arms, each pivotally coupled at one end to the mounting structure secured to the vehicle headliner and having opposite ends pivotally secured to a visor. A cross arm extends between the spaced arms and is pivotally connected at each end to one of the arms at a position not aligned with the pivot connections of the arms to the vehicle or visor. The visor can be translated by rotation of the parallel arms between a raised or stored position above the window downwardly to a lowered use position. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, a module which can be snap-fitted to the vehicle roof is provided with the visor, and its control mechanism being recessed behind a decorative panel. In one embodiment of the invention, a motor is coupled to one of the pivot points to electrically lower and raise the visor to any selected position.
