Abstract
The present invention provides a flocked sun visor varying in color, constitution, structure, haptics and appearance and a method for its manufacturing. The variable surface coating of the sun visor and the adaptation to the interior fittings of a motor vehicle is achieved by the applied flocks varying in material, shape, structure and color. In the method for manufacturing flocked sun visors, the sun visor body having a hard and smooth surface, preferably a blow molded sun visor body made of plastic, is coated with adhesive and subsequently flocked by using electrostatic effects. In comparison to known methods for manufacturing sun visors having an attractive appearance, the present invention is cheaper and less time-consuming. There are five method steps: Cleaning, priming, adhesive coating, flocking and solidifying.
