ABSTRACT:
A bearing device for a swivelable sun visor used in a vehicle, wherein the sun visor body is supported by a bearing shaft, one end of which is received in the sun visor body and the other end of which is mounted in the vehicle. The bearing body for the shaft in the sun visor body is molded along with a reinforcement frame embedded in the sun visor body. The bearing body includes a bearing bore defined by two rows of generally semicircularly shaped ribs and the ribs on one side are interleaved with the ribs from the other side to define the bearing opening for the shaft. The bearing shaft inserted in the bearing body includes a groove which receives a U-shaped spring therein which presses against the walls of the groove and is pressed against the insides of the ribs for holding the swivel position of the bearing body and the visor body. The ribs define a radial enlargement and when the shaft and the spring are rotated to urge the spring into the enlargement, the bearing body and the visor body are detented in a selected position.
