ABSTRACT:
A visor comprises a fiberboard butterfly-shaped core having a first or inner surface coated with a co-adhesive and has its opposite surface covered with a suitable upholstery material having an edge which extends over the periphery of the butterfly core. The core is folded over a pivot rod and torque control such that the facing adhesive surfaces adhesively engage one another to complete the visor construction. The methods of manufacturing the visor includes the steps of applying a co-adhesive to sheets of fiberboard and cutting the sheets into the butterfly shape of a desired visor configuration. The individual butterfly sheets are stacked on one another with the adhesive layers facing in the same direction, such that the adjacent butterfly cores do not adhere to one another. Subsequently, the single core members are placed on butterfly-shaped upholstery having a slightly larger dimension than that of the core. The upholstery edges are folded over the edges of the core, and a pivot rod and torque control member is positioned near the fold line of the butterfly core which defines the upper edge of the visor when completed. The halves of the butterfly core are folded and pressed together to complete the visor construction.
