Abstract

A sun visor for a vehicle may include a plate-like body portion having a predetermined thickness, a pivot arm wherein a first end thereof may be secured to a vehicle body and a second end thereof may be joined through an upper side of the body portion in a length direction at a section which may be cut in a length direction to form a cut section, a clamp which may be connected sideways to the vehicle body and may be shaped to wrap the pivot arm, an elastic member provided on an upper side of the clamp to compress the pivot arm when the body portion rotates.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A sun visor for a vehicle, comprising:
a plate-like body portion having a predetermined thickness;
a pivot arm wherein a first end thereof is secured to a vehicle body and a second end thereof is joined through an upper side of the body portion in a length direction at a section which is cut in a length direction to form a cut section;
a clamp which is connected sideways to the vehicle body and is shaped to wrap the pivot arm;
an elastic member provided on an upper side of the clamp to compress the pivot arm when the body portion rotates,
wherein a cover shaped for wrapping the outside of the clamp is formed on the clamp, and
wherein an uneven part is formed at a point of an inner part of the cover, to be in close contact with an outer lower surface of the clamp, thereby preventing the clamp from being slipped within the cover when the body portion rotates.

2. The sun visor for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the pivot arm is joined through a lower side of the clamp to space the body portion from the vehicle body by a predetermined distance.

3. The sun visor for the vehicle according to claim 1 ,
wherein the clamp is coupled to a first side of the pivot arm; and
wherein a wing unit extending downwardly is formed on a second side of the pivot arm to support the body portion when the body portion rotates around the pivot arm.

4. The sun visor for the vehicle according to claim 3 , wherein wing units are formed on both side surfaces of the body portion, respectively.

5. The sun visor for the vehicle according to claim 1 , further including:
supporters having a plate shape provided inside the clamp and mounted on upper and lower sides of the elastic member, wherein one of the supporters are selectively engaged to the cut section of the pivot arm.

6. The sun visor for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein a holder extending upwardly is formed on the cover and the pivot arm is secured to the vehicle body through the holder.

7. The sun visor for the vehicle according to claim 1 ,
wherein an opening surface is formed toward the vehicle's interior on the body portion; and
wherein an extended portion in which an outermost aspect of the body portion is extended toward the opening surface at a predetermined length along a border of the opening surface, is provided on the body portion.

8. The sun visor for the vehicle according to claim 7 , wherein a mirror is inserted into an inward side of the opening surface such that the mirror is prevented from becoming detached from the body by the extended portion.

9. The sun visor for the vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein a door for opening or closing the mirror is provided on the opening surface to be guided by the extended portion when the door is slid.

10. The sun visor for the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein a ticket holder is formed on a side of the body portion.
