Abstract

A sun visor for a vehicle configured to be engaged with a support section provided in a compartment of the vehicle has a sun visor main body that shields light, a supplementary body slidably attached to the sun visor main body and slidable from a first position where the supplementary body overlaps the sun visor main body to a second position where the supplementary body is drawn out of the sun visor main body to shield the light in a wider area, projections standing on peripheries of the through-holes, and a plurality of through-holes penetrating the supplementary body so as to have incident light partly pass through the through-holes.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A sun visor for a vehicle configured to be engaged with a support section provided in a compartment of the vehicle, comprising:
a sun visor main body that shields light;
a supplementary body slidably attached to the sun visor main body and slidable from a first position where the supplementary body overlaps the sun visor main body to a second position where the supplementary body is drawn out of the sun visor main body to shield the light in a wider area;
a plurality of through-holes penetrating the supplementary body so as to have incident light partly pass through the through-holes; and
projections standing on peripheries of the through-holes.

2. The sun visor of claim 1 , wherein the sun visor main body is capable of being temporarily fixed along a side window of the vehicle and is so formed that an edge of the supplementary body directed to a center pillar of the vehicle becomes parallel to the center pillar when the supplementary body is drawn out in the second position and temporarily fixed along the side window.

3. The sun visor of claim 1 , wherein the supplementary body comprises a slit configured to receive insertion of a ticket and the supplementary body and the sun visor main body are so positioned that the inserted ticket is pressed onto the sun visor main body to be frictionally supported.

4. The sun visor of claim 1 , further comprising:
a catching member configured to be caught by the support section and fixed to a rim portion of the sun visor main body; and
a plurality of cutouts including a first cutout aligned with the catching member when the supplementary body is at the first position and a second cutout aligned with the catching member when the supplementary body is at the second position.

5. The sun visor of claim 1 , wherein the projections surround each of the peripheries of the through-holes.

6. The sun visor of claim 1 , wherein the projections are disposed so as to block some light from entering the through-holes.

7. The sun visor of claim 1 , wherein the supplementary body comprises the projections.
