Abstract
An extendable sun visor, for the window of a motor vehicle, includes a sunshade windable on a rotatable winding shaft to a retracted position and unwindable from the winding shaft to an extended position. Guide rails are at the lateral sides of the sunshade. A gripping strip to be gripped by a user is attached to the free edge of the sunshade and joins the guide rails. A toothed rack is on each guide rail. A toothed wheel on the winding shaft engages each toothed rack. A spring may normally urge the winding shaft to the sunshade retracted position. A brake may slow retraction. A detent sets the extent of the extension of the guide rails.
