Abstract
A sun visor assembly comprises a visor body and an article-holding assembly. The visor body has a concealed hollow, a core and an exterior surface. The article-holding assembly includes an O-ring connected to the core of the visor body within the hollow, and a substantially non-elastic strap having one portion retractably connected to the O-ring and another portion overlaying the exterior surface of the visor body. The O-ring sufficiently yieldably tightens the strap to store articles between the strap and the exterior surface of the visor body.
