ABSTRACT:
A vehicle visor includes a molded body pivotally secured to a vehicle by means of a pivot mounting bracket and a support rod. The support rod is L-shaped with a torque fitting at an end secured within the pivot bracket for movement about an axis permitting the visor to swing from the front of the vehicle to the side. The visor body is secured to an elongated section of the L-shaped rod by a pair of torque fittings permitting rotation of the visor body on the support rod. The torque fittings comprise a lubricous polymeric material molded onto the support rod to provide a predetermined torque between the fittings and the rod. The fittings are anchored within the body of the visor and the pivot bracket permitting movement of the visor along the two axes. In the preferred embodiment, the torque fittings include oppositely extending configurated flanges fitted into keyways within the visor body and pivot bracket for anchoring the rod within the visor body.
