ABSTRACT:
A visor includes a guide channel which receives an elongated pivot rod and combined torque control and slide. The slide comprises a lubricous polymeric member which surrounds the torque control to present a sliding interface between the visor rod and channel within the visor body while the torque control allows the visor to be raised to desired adjusted positions between a raised storage position adjacent the vehicle roof and lowered use positions. In one embodiment, at least one bias spring extends between the slide and channel for providing the desired sliding action and permitting tolerance variations in the manufacture of the visor control.
