Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a sun visor, comprising: a pivot bearing consisting of an axle bearing casing and a sun visor shaft arranged in one end section of the upper longitudinal edge; a counter-bearing shaft arranged in the other end section and removably connected to a counter-bearing casing made of synthetic resin; a mirror arranged in the sun visor body; and a light source supplied from the vehicle electrical system for illumination. and the counter-bearing casing has at least one electrical contact member connected to the vehicle electrical system in the bearing opening, and at least one electrical contact member connected to the light source to the counter-bearing shaft. The present invention relates to a type in which two opposed contact members are arranged.

The known sun visor of the above type (West German Utility Model No. 770)
No. 2,394), the mirror is provided with a cover plate, which is mounted on the upper mirror edge so as to be pivotable about a horizontal axis. The cover plate is provided with a light source on the back side of the upper edge section.

The cover plate further includes a spring for holding itself in the pivoted open position of the cover plate;
A locking member is provided for holding the cover plate itself in the closed, pivoted position. When moving the cover plate from one end position to the other end position, the electrical contacts are either disconnected or connected to one another. A number of significant disadvantages arise in the known construction of sun visors with illuminated mirrors. In this case, the construction cost of the lighting device is particularly high, the number of required components is large, and the assembly costs are therefore high.

It is therefore an object of the invention to save costs in a sun visor of the type mentioned at the outset with fewer components and in-tube manufacturing and assembly.

In order to achieve this object, an arrangement of the invention is such that the counter-contact element is arranged on the counter-bearing shaft in such a way that it is connected to the contact element of the counter-bearing casing only in the downwardly pivoted position of the sun visor body.

Such an arrangement avoids the arrangement of a cover plate with contact elements and thus reduces manufacturing and assembly costs.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described using the drawings.

The sun visor body 1 of the sun visor has a pivot bearing 5 arranged in one end section of the upper longitudinal edge 2 of the sun visor body and consisting of a pivot bearing casing 3 and a sun visor shaft 4.
a counter-bearing shaft 6 disposed in the other end section of the longitudinal edge and removably inserted into a counter-bearing casing 7 made of synthetic resin; and at least one support shaft mounted in a frame 9 and serving as a light source. The mirror 8 is illuminated by two light bulbs l○.

As is clear from FIG. 2, the sun visor main body 1 has a chamber-shaped notch 11 that opens toward the wide side, and a rectangular box 12 is disposed within this notch. The box 12 is preferably embedded in foam during the manufacture of the sun visor body 1.

Box 12 holds frame 9 using, for example, clips (not shown). As is clear from FIG. 2, the frame 9 has a T-shaped cross section. In this case, the horizontal cross-sectional leg 13 of the T-shaped cross section of the frame is configured such that the surface on the side of the vertical cross-sectional leg 14 of the frame is a stone three-face 15 and 16. The stone 9 surface 15 supports the mirror 8 in an annular manner, while the stone 9 surface 16 supports the notch 1 of the sun visor body 1.
1 and the free end face of the box 12. The sun visor body 1 advantageously has a recess in the section supporting the frame, so that the frame 9 is arranged to be sunken into the sun visor body, so that the outer surface of the cross-sectional foot of the frame substantially extends into the sun visor body. It forms the same surface as the exterior of 1.

Contact springs 20 are arranged at the bottom 19 of the box, and a light bulb 10 is mounted between the contact springs. One or more light bulbs 10 are placed within the box 12 depending on the desired luminous intensity.

The opposing bearing shaft 6 is inserted into the opposing bearing casing 7 and has a synthetic resin body 2 with a circular cross section over the shaft section in the axial direction.
1. The synthetic resin body 2, which is made of a relatively soft material, is constructed in such a way that it has two longitudinal slots 22, 23 extending parallel to each other and over its entire length.

The vertical slit 23 is located at the center of the sleeve and the synthetic resin body 2
It has a notch 24 that is open toward the outer peripheral surface of 1.

A counter-contact element designed as a sheet metal strip 25 is inserted into the longitudinal slot 23 and is formed of a curved section 26 with a contact protrusion 27 that is pushed in toward the outside. Notch 2 in the synthetic resin body
It stands out from 4. The curved section 26 fixes the sheet metal strip 25 in an axially immovable manner and provides a resilient support for the contact projection 27 . The cross section of the sheet metal strip 25 corresponds to the cross section of the slit 23, so that the sheet metal strip is also held against rotation. Furthermore, the sheet metal strip 25 has an extension 28 on its end section projecting from the plastic body, which is folded over and equipped with a locking pin 29, so that the extension 28 ensures a secure contact of the cable grip 30. From the cable grip serving for reception, a conductor 31 leads to a light bulb 10, which is arranged between the contact springs 20 or is received in a socket.

What is particularly important for fixing the synthetic resin body 21 so that it cannot rotate or move in the axial direction is that the section formed by the chamfered portion 32 of the opposing support shaft 6 having a circular cross section is inserted into the slit 22 of the synthetic resin body. It's about being framed. Since the synthetic resin body 21 is made of an elastic material, the counter support shaft 6 with a circular cross section is welded to the wire frame forming the core material 33 of the sun visor body l. It is fitted over the chamfered portion 32. The synthetic resin body 21 can be welded to the exterior of the sun visor body l,
A clean transition of the contact point between the exterior of the sun visor body and the synthetic resin body is obtained.

The counter-bearing casing 7 is of substantially known construction, but as shown in FIG. It is different from the bearing casing. Contact member 35
consists of a sheet metal strip, the lower strip section of which forms a bend with a semicircular diameter approximately corresponding to the radius of the bearing opening 34 and is preferably guided in a groove 36. The contact element 35 projects from the caning nut 37 with its upper end section and has a cable grip 38 there, in which case a conductor 39 connected to the cable grip is connected to the vehicle electrical system; Advantageously, they are arranged together in the circuit of the vehicle lighting system.

The arrangement of the contact member 35 and the arrangement of the opposing contact part (contact protrusion 27) are such that they only come into contact when the sun visor body l is pivoted downward from the inactive position device to the active position (position that allows the use of the mirror 8). It is chosen such that a connection is made between the member 35 and the counter contact.
