Abstract
A telescopic sunvisor is disclosed which includes a support arm and a panel which is telescopically mounted on the panel. The support arm has a deployment flat and preferably a stow flat peripherally spaced from the deployment flat. The panel has a core, a retainer or channel which supports the core, and a detent spring assembly or clamp which engages the support arm. The detent spring assembly has a pair of opposing legs which clamp about the support arm. Ideally, the detent spring assembly is made of two opposing U-shaped clips which interlock with one another about the support arm. The detent spring assembly and panel may be selectively rotated about the support arm between stowed and deployed positions. In the deployed position, the detent spring assembly clamps about the deployment flat while allowing sliding movement therebetween such that the panel may be telescopic moved relative to the support arm.
