ABSTRACT:
A sun visor assembly which is formed from an expanded polypropylene (EPP) shell having an upholstery cover fused to the exterior surface thereof. The polymer shell is further comprised of two shell halves which are joined together with a molded polymer band. The upholstery cover is fused to the exterior surface of the shell in the area of the polymer band so that the polymer band and the upholstery cover combine to form a hinge about which the shell halves are foldable together to form the completed sun visor. The shell halves are secured together by corresponding protrusions and slots formed in the two shell halves, respectively. The protrusions are fused into the slots. A vanity mirror assembly can be thermally fused to one of the shell halves or, alternatively, can be used to secure the two shell halves together.
