Abstract
A curvilinear visor panel is coupled to a mounting member by a pair of spaced guide members which extend through angled slots formed in one of the visor panels or mounting members such that the visor panel is extended for use by withdrawing the panel with the guide members moving along the slot for controlled movement of the visor. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, each of the guide members include a thrust washer and a lubricious floating slide member which provide a controlled engaging force between the visor panel and mounting member. In a preferred embodiment of the invention also, the guide member includes a cap with a collar extending though the angled slots with the caps engaging the slots on a side opposite the slide members.
