Abstract

A sun visor structure includes a sun visor body made of foamed resin, a support plate that is insert-molded in the sun visor body, and an attachment component supported by the support plate. The attachment component has a first elastic engagement hook and a second elastic engagement hook. The sun visor body has insertion holes for inserting the first elastic engagement hook and the second elastic engagement hook. The support plate has engagement holes to engage the first elastic engagement hook and the second elastic engagement hook. The engagement holes are smaller than the insertion holes and concentric with the insertion holes. The attachment component has a guide pin. The support plate has a positioning hole for inserting the guide pin to position the attachment component.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A sun visor structure comprising:
a sun visor body made of foamed resin;
a support plate that is insert-molded in the sun visor body; and
an attachment component supported by the support plate,
wherein the attachment component has a first elastic engagement hook and a second elastic engagement hook,
the sun visor body has insertion holes for inserting the first elastic engagement hook and the second elastic engagement hook,
the support plate has engagement holes to engage the first elastic engagement hook and the second elastic engagement hook, the engagement holes being smaller than the insertion holes and being concentric with the insertion holes,
the attachment component has a guide pin, and
the support plate has a positioning hole for inserting the guide pin to position the attachment component.

2. The sun visor structure according to claim 1 , wherein the support plate has a protrusion at a center part, the protrusion protruding toward the attachment component, and
the protrusion has the positioning hole.

3. The sun visor structure according to claim 1 , wherein the support plate has a failsafe hole at a position displaced from a line connecting centers of the engagement holes.

4. The sun visor structure according to claim 1 , wherein the attachment component is a ticket holder including a base having the elastic engagement hooks and an elastic tongue that is cantilevered and extends from the base.

5. The sun visor structure according to claim 4 , wherein each of the elastic engagement hooks has a pair of opposed hooks, and
the pair of opposed hooks are opposed in an extending direction of the elastic tongue.

6. The sun visor structure according to claim 5 , wherein one of the pair of opposed hooks that is close to the elastic tongue has an engagement strength larger than the other hook has.

7. The sun visor structure according to claim 2 , wherein the support plate has a failsafe hole at a position displaced from a line connecting centers of the engagement holes.

8. The sun visor structure according to claim 2 , wherein the attachment component is a ticket holder including a base having the elastic engagement hooks and an elastic tongue that is cantilevered and extends from the base.

9. The sun visor structure according to claim 3 , wherein the attachment component is a ticket holder including a base having the elastic engagement hooks and an elastic tongue that is cantilevered and extends from the base.
