ABSTRACT:
The disclosure concerns a swivel mount for the sun visor of an automotive vehicle. There is a mount housing including a tubular part that passes around the mounting shaft of the sun visor and a part that extends away from that shaft receiving part of the mount housing. The mount housing might be an integral molding or a bent sheet metal part. A cutout is defined along the length of the mount housing for receiving a detent spring therein. The cutout includes a web that divides the cutout into a top part near the mounting shaft and a bottom part. An end stop is located near the bottom of the mount housing. The reinforcing insert for the visor body might extend through the mount housing and define the end stop. The detent spring is U-shaped, with one arm passing down the outside of the cutout web and the end stop at one side of the mount housing. The other arm of the detent spring extends down past the opposite side of the cutout web at the opposite side of the mount housing, through the lower cutout in the mount housing and then wraps around the end stop at the first side of the mount housing, thereby locking the detent spring to the mount housing. The detent spring might have the end of the other arm thereof folded for resiliently snapping onto the end stop.
