Abstract

The vehicle sun visor position retainer is preferably a unitary, flexible, resilient, generally flat piece of plastic, wood, metal, rubber, ceramic or cermet having first and second horizontally extending members. The second member extends laterally of the first member adjacent one end of the first member. The two members are integrally connected together by a step portion which holds the second member below but generally parallel to the first member. The first member contains a generally central vertical hole therethrough adapted to receive the vertical rod portion of a vehicle sun visor bracket. The first member also defines a slot from the periphery of the first member to the hole. Preferably, the slot has outwardly diverging sides. Also preferably, a pair of detents narrow the slot adjacent the hole to hold the first member in place around the rod. Cut-away portions on opposite sides of the detents may increase the effective flexibility. The retainer is horizontally rotatable around the rod between an operative position wherein the second member supports the visor from the underside thereof into an up position out of the way of the vehicle window next to which the visor is installed, and a storage so that the visor can be lowered to shield the eyes from the sun.
