ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a novel electric connection to a light source, or the like, on a sun visor for a vehicle. At one edge of the sun visor body, there is a pivot pin that is supported in a preferably plastic support that is held in the sun visor body. The pivot pin is received in a socket held to the body of the vehicle and which includes electtric contacts in it. An electric lead extends through the pivot pin and leads to the light source. The pivot pin has a radially extending groove. A contact element extends from outside the groove into the groove for contacting the lead therein. The contact element extends out of the groove and may be wrapped around the pivot pin for engaging a corresponding contact element in the socket, which contact element is connected, in turn, to an electric wire in the vehicle electrical system. Various forms of contact elements for the pivot pin are disclosed. This includes a sleeve positioned in the bore in the pivot pin and having arms projecting out of the groove of the pivot pin to the exterior of the pivot pin for contacting the contact element in the socket. Alternatively, a C-shaped claw member is wrapped around the pivot pin, and the longitudinal edges of the claw project through the groove so that at least one of the edges of the claw contacts the wire in the bore of the pin. In another embodiment, the pivot pin has two diametrically opposite grooves and each longitudinal edge of the claw projects into a respective groove.
