Abstract
A sun visor for a vehicle window, particularly a side window thereof, includes a sun visor body fastened at its top to a top profiled strip and at its bottom to a bottom support in the form of a spring bar. The bottom support is movable so as to bring the sun visor body from a collapsed non-use position to a spread out use position and vice versa. The visor body is comprised of a series of strips which together define a fan like body. A swing lever is pivoted to one end of the profiled strip and includes a guide web extending along the length of the swing lever. One end region of the bottom support for the visor body is received in a displacable manner along the guide web so that swinging of the swing lever moves the guide web which moves the bottom support to move the visor body between its use and non-use positions. The end of the bottom support away from the swing lever is fixed to the top profiled strip. An over center spring arrangement on the swing lever assures that the visor body swings completely between the non-use and use positions.
