Sun visor for vehicles

Abstract

A technique is disclosed for reducing a biasing force acting upon a support rod, while securing a rotating torque required to pivot a sun visor body, in a sun visor for vehicles. A sun visor for vehicles, in which a sun visor body 103 can pivot on a support rod 105 , includes a biasing and holding member 121 that biases and holds the support rod 105 only by three regions in a circumferential direction of the support rod 105 . The biasing and holding member 121 is formed by bending a single leaf spring and integrally includes a support rod holding region 125 a , 127 a , 129 a and a biasing force generating region 123 . The support rod holding region includes the three regions that surround an outer surface of the support rod, and the biasing force generating region is formed at a predetermined distance from the support rod holding region 125 a , 127 a , 129 a in a direction transverse to the axial direction of the support rod 105 . Further, the biasing force generating region 123 is designed as a mounting part for mounting the biasing and holding member 121 to the sun visor body 103.

1 . A sun visor for a vehicle comprising:
 a sun visor body,   a support rod for mounting the sun visor body to a vehicle, wherein the sun visor body pivots on the support rod and   a biasing and holding member that biases and holds the support rod only by three regions in a circumferential direction of the support rod,   wherein the biasing and holding member is formed by bending a single leaf spring and integrally includes a support rod holding region and a biasing force generating region, the support rod holding region comprising said three regions that surround an outer surface of the support rod, and the biasing force generating region being formed at a predetermined distance from the support rod holding region in a direction transverse to the axial direction of the support rod,   wherein the biasing force generating region is provided as a mounting part for mounting the biasing and holding member to the sun visor body.   
   
   
       2 . The sun visor as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the support rod holding region has two clipping regions that are opposed to each other and elastically clip the support rod, and a third contact region that receives the support rod, and wherein the two clipping regions are arranged such that respective normal of the clipping regions extends toward the third contact region and crosses to each other. 
   
   
       3 . The sun visor as defined in  claim 2 , wherein the third contact region comprises an extension extending from a free end of the clipping region. 
   
   
       4 . The sun visor as defined in  claim 2 , wherein the third contact region comprises an extension extending from a fixed end of the clipping region.
