ABSTRACT:
The invention is concerned with a hollow mounting pin for a sun visor for an automotive vehicle. The mounting pin is bent. One leg is affixed to the body of the automotive vehicle. The other leg serves as one part of the swivel bearing for the sun visor body. An electric conductor passes through the hollow mounting pin. At the end of the hollow mounting pin located at the swivel bearing on the visor body, a receptacle is formed. An electric switch contact is supported in the receptacle. The contact includes a contact projection that extends through the wall of the receptacle. A cooperating strap is defined on the visor body. As the visor body is swiveled, the strap selectively contacts or is out of contact with the contact projection. The electric switch contact in the receptacle is prevented from pivoting with respect to the receptacle by the contact projection and/or by appropriate complementary profiling of the electric switch contact and the receptacle. Various configurations for the electric switch contact are disclosed, including a U-shaped body with the contact projection being at the web of the "U", a length of wire, bent generally hairpin-like, and having a U-shape, with the contact projection being on the one arm of the "U". The electric switch contact is adapted to have the conductor that passes through the hollow mounting pin secured to it and through the contact strap on the visor body, the electric connection to the light source is made.
