Abstract
What is described is a sun visor for vehicles, having a sun visor body formed of foamed plastic, in particular PU (polyurethane), and at least one bearing body, embedded in the foam material of the sun visor body by foam spray-coating for a sun visor axle, and a STIFFENER for the sun visor body. In such a sun visor, in order to create a sun visor body with high stability and torsional rigidity, the invention provides, as the STIFFENER at least one nonstretchable length of material, which on at least one broad side of the sun visor body extends over the surface and is intimately joined to the plastic material of the sun visor body.
