ABSTRACT:
A support pin for insertion into a material-covered notch in a sun visor. The support pin includes a frame, a retainer pin, a pair of wings, and a pair of spaced keels. The frame has a first surface configured to conform to the notch and a second surface having an appearance finish. The retainer pin extends from one portion of the second surface to another portion of the second surface. The wings extend outwardly from the first surface of the frame and are adapted to sufficiently engage the notch when the support pin is inserted into the notch to hold the material and the pin of the notch. The pair of spaced keels extend from the first surface of the frame and define a groove therebetween. The groove is adapted to straddle and sufficiently receive one portion of the material of the material-covered notch to lessen the stretch of the one portion of the material in the groove as the support pin is inserted into the notch. The keels are configured to stretch uniformly other portions of the material outside the groove locally and independently anywhere along the first surface of the frame as the support pin is inserted into the notch. Alternatively, a nub may be affixed to each of the keels outward of the groove to engage the sun visor when the support pin is inserted into the notch.
