Abstract
A mechanism for attaching an outer fabric covering to a plastic shell is provided wherein inner and outer walls integrally formed on the inner periphery of a lower shell half define a channel and a locking wall integrally formed on the inner periphery of an upper shell half locks the covering in the channel when the shell is closed. The attachment mechanism secures the covering to prevent the covering from working loose during normal operation of the sunvisor. The mechanism further includes a peripheral lip integrally formed with the locking wall. The covering is secured between the peripheral lip and a free end portion of the outer wall. The lip has a curved outer surface for receiving one free edge portion of the covering thereon. The outer wall also has a curved outer surface for receiving another free edge portion of the covering thereon. The curved outer surfaces of the outer wall and the lip at least partially define a curved outer surface of the shell when closed.
