ABSTRACT:
A sun visor assembly for a vehicle having a yieldable edge. The visor assembly has a rotatable visor body which may be positioned against the headliner in the roof of the vehicle or against the windshield or side window of the vehicle. The visor body includes a relatively rigid inner foundation member and a more flexible outer covering. The outer covering projects beyond the borders of the foundation member to form the edges of the visor body. The edges formed by the projecting outer covering are yieldable upon impact and may thereby cushion the force exerted by the visor body against a body impacting the yieldable edge of the visor body. The outer longitudinal edge of the visor body has a width of at least approximately 0.75 inches and the visor body may also include yieldable transverse edges.
