Abstract

A visor assembly includes a visor body, an electronic device receiver and a pivot feature connecting the electronic device receiver to the visor body. The visor assembly also includes a light shield that extends between the electronic device receiver and the visor body and functions to block light passing through the gap between the visor body and the electronic device receiver when the visor body and electronic device receiver are in certain configurations.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. A visor assembly, comprising:
a visor body;
an electronic device receiver;
a pivot feature connecting said electronic device receiver to said visor body; and
a light shield extending between said electronic device receiver and said visor body wherein said light shield is an accordion wall.

2. The visor assembly of claim 1 , wherein said light shield is displaceable between a collapsed configuration and an extended configuration.

3. The visor assembly of claim 1 , wherein said accordion wall extends around said electronic device receiver from a first point adjacent a first end of said pivot feature to a second point adjacent a second end of said pivot feature.

4. The visor assembly of claim 1 , wherein said visor body includes an inner margin defining an opening.

5. The visor assembly of claim 1 , wherein said pivot feature includes a pivot rod extending across said opening.

6. The visor assembly of claim 1 , wherein said electronic device receiver is received over said pivot rod and is displaceable from a first portion in said opening within said inner margin and a second position projecting from said opening and said inner margin.

7. The visor assembly of claim 1 , wherein said light shield is connected to said inner margin.

8. The visor assembly of claim 1 , wherein said electronic device receiver includes a cavity to receive and hold an electronic device.

9. The visor assembly of claim 1 , wherein said electronic device receiver includes a detent holding said electronic device within said cavity.

10. A visor assembly, comprising:
a visor body;
an electronic device receiver;
a pivot feature connecting said electronic device receiver to said visor body; and
a light shield extending between said electronic device receiver and said visor body wherein said light shield is a wall made from a stretch material.

11. The visor assembly of claim 10 , wherein said wall extends around said electronic device receiver from a first point adjacent a first end of said pivot feature to a second point adjacent a second end of said pivot feature.

12. The visor assembly of claim 11 , wherein said visor body includes an inner margin defining an opening.

13. The visor assembly of claim 12 , wherein said pivot feature includes a pivot rod extending across said opening.

14. The visor assembly of claim 13 , wherein said electronic device receiver is received over said pivot rod and is displaceable from a first position in said opening within said inner margin and a second position projecting from said opening and said inner margin.

15. The visor assembly of claim 14 , wherein said light shield is connected to said inner margin.

16. The visor assembly of claim 15 , wherein said electronic device receiver includes a cavity to receive and hold an electronic device.

17. The visor assembly of claim 16 , wherein said electronic device receiver includes a detent holding said electronic device within said cavity.
