Abstract
To maximize the area of a vanity mirror and improve external appearance of a sun visor under consideration of safety, the sun visor comprises an upper sun visor element, a mirror unit whose upper end is supported by the upper sun visor element, and a lower sun visor element slidably fitted to the mirror unit. In out of use of the mirror, the lower sun visor element is vertically slid to its uppermost position into contact with the upper sun visor element to cover the mirror. In use, the lower sun visor element is vertically slid to its lowermost position with a click feeling to expose the mirror. Further, a lamp unit and a lamp switch are housed within the upper sun visor element for illumination. Further, it is preferable to automatically turn on the lamp whenever the mirror is exposed with the lamp switch set to 'AUTO' position.
