Abstract
A swivel bearing for automobile sun visors has a bearing housing with a mounting bore which is circularly shaped at the entrance into the mounting bore and which gradually widens along one axis to be oblong at the outlet from the mounting bore. The short mounting arm of a L-shaped shaft, on which shaft the sun visor body is supported, is received in the mounting bore. The section of the mounting arm located within the mounting bore is itself conically narrowed between the entrance and the outlet from the mounting bore. From the inlet to the outlet, the mounting bore widens along the long axis of the bore to define a slot in which the mounting arm can pivot in a manner which allows alignment of the shaft with respect to an outer support housing in which the free end of the shaft is detachably receivable.
