20150151612 | VEHICLE SUN VISOR - A vehicle sun visor includes: a sun visor body; a support shaft; and a damper configured to apply braking force at the time when the sun visor body turns. The damper includes: a rotor and a rotor case that supports the rotor such that the rotor is rotatable around its axis. The rotor includes a cylindrical portion in which the support shaft is inserted, the cylindrical portion being held so as to be non-rotatable with respect to the support shaft. The rotor case is held by the sun visor body in a state where the rotor case is non-rotatable with respect to the sun visor body. | 06-04-2015 |
20140286028 | VEHICLE SUN VISOR - An automobile sun visor includes: a sun visor body; and a mirror unit. The mirror unit includes: a mirror; a mirror retaining member to keep the mirror in place; and a mirror cover attached to the mirror retaining member and with a lighting apparatus provided in it. Power is supplied to the lighting apparatus when the mirror cover is moved from a closed position to an open position, and the power supply to the lighting apparatus is shut off when the mirror cover is moved from the open position to the closed position. | 09-25-2014 |
20130320699 | VEHICLE SUN VISOR - A vehicle sun visor includes a sun visor body, a support shaft mounted on a ceiling surface of a vehicle cabin and configured to support the sun visor body at a turning center position of the sun visor body such that the sun visor body is turnable between a storage position at which the sun visor body is oriented along the ceiling surface of the vehicle cabin and a use position at which the sun visor body is able to block light, a damper configured to apply braking force at the time when the sun visor body turns, and a slide mechanism configured to hold the sun visor body such that the sun visor body is slidable in an axial direction of the support shaft with respect to the support shaft. | 12-05-2013 |
20130320698 | VEHICLE SUN VISOR - A vehicle sun visor includes: an urging member that applies turning force toward a storage position to a sun visor body when a turning angle of the sun visor body from the storage position is a predetermined angle or smaller; and a damper that applies braking force when the sun visor body turns. When a turning speed of the sun visor body toward the storage position is a predetermined speed or lower, the damper braking force is smaller than a value obtained by subtracting turning force based on the weight of the sun visor body from the turning force of the urging member, and, when the turning speed exceeds the predetermined speed, the damper braking force is larger than or equal to the value obtained by subtracting the turning force based on the weight of the sun visor body from the turning force of the urging member. | 12-05-2013 |
20130119697 | SUN VISOR FOR VEHICLES - 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 | 05-16-2013 |
20120119537 | SUNVISOR FOR VEHICLE - A sun visor for a vehicle has a sun visor body including a first shell and a second shell. The first shell includes a pin, and the second shell includes a boss having an insert hole. Further, a first reinforcing portion that extends in a given direction from at least one of the pin and the boss and a second reinforcing portion that extends in a direction intersecting with the direction of extension of the first reinforcing portion are provided. | 05-17-2012 |
20120112490 | MIRROR UNIT, AND SUN VISOR BODY HAVING MIRROR UNIT - A mirror unit includes: a frame; a mirror that is mounted on the frame; a cover that is mounted on the frame and that covers the mirror; two facing wall portions that extend along the frame; and guide members that are respectively formed on both wall portions, that protrude in a direction in which both wall portions face each other and that allow the cover to slide along the frame. A guide member-absent region in which the guide member is partially not formed is provided at an end portion of at least one of the wall portions. | 05-10-2012 |
20110260492 | SUN VISOR FOR VEHICLES - The representative sun visor for vehicles has a sun visor body which can slide in an axial direction of a support rod together with a guide member with respect to a movable element. The sun visor includes a friction mechanism which imposes a predetermined frictional resistance to the relative movement of the sun visor body with respect to the movable element. The friction mechanism has a sliding member and a biasing member. The sliding member is slidably held in contact with the guide member and imposes a frictional resistance to the guide member, and the biasing member applies a biasing force in a direction that holds the sliding member and the guide member in contact with each other. The guide member and the sliding member have a plurality of sliding contact portions on which the biasing force of the biasing member acts in different directions. | 10-27-2011 |
20110260491 | VEHICLE SUN VISOR - A vehicle sun visor includes: a sun visor body; a support shaft that supports the sun visor body; a mounting bracket that attaches the support shaft to a vehicle; a pair of first conductive element and second conductive element that are provided at a shaft end of the support shaft adjacent to the mounting bracket and inside the support shaft; a divider that is interposed between first ends; and a pair of terminals that supply electric power to the first ends. A gap is formed between the divider and at least one of the first ends. | 10-27-2011 |
20100019527 | SUN VISOR FOR VEHICLES - 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 | 01-28-2010 |
20090134657 | SUN VISOR FOR VEHICLES - It is an object of the invention to provide a technique which contributes to stabilized movement of a sliding structure in a slide-type sun visor for vehicles. Representative sun visor for vehicles includes a sun visor body, a support shaft, a sliding member, a clip member and a clamping device. The clamping device accommodates a clearance in a circumferential direction between the support shaft and the sliding member and prevents relative rotation of the support shaft and the sliding member. The clamping device is mounted to the sliding member and rotates together with the sliding member. | 05-28-2009 |
