ABSTRACT:
A visor bracket for use in a visor assembly includes at least one upwardly extending projection and the outer curved peripheral surface of a central boss which cooperate to prevent misalignment of the boss with a D-shaped opening formed in an inner sheet of the roof of a vehicle during installation of the visor assembly to the vehicle. Preferably, the outer curved peripheral surface is defined by the outer curved surface of a plurality of guide ribs which radially project from and extend around the periphery of the boss. The mounting bracket includes a mounting flange integrally formed with the boss and extending radially therefrom. The mounting flange includes a plurality of spaced mounting holes formed therethrough for alignment with attachment holes formed in the inner sheet of the roof of the vehicle. Preferably, two such projections are adapted to fit within the D-shaped opening at opposite ends of a straight line portion thereof. The guide ribs are formed on the boss opposite the projections and are aligned to fit within a curved portion of the D-shaped opening. Also, preferably the projections extend upwardly from ribs formed on the one side of the boss. Also, the top surface of the guide ribs is chamfered to facilitate insertion of the boss into the D-shaped opening.
