ABSTRACT:
A visor control includes a first member positioned in the body of the visor and engaging one side of a pivot rod also extending within the visor body for moving the visor between stored and use positions. An elastically deformable plate has one end secured to the first member and engages an opposite side of the pivot rod in an elastically deformed position. The rod includes a flat formed in the opposite side for engagement by the deformable plate to provide a torque for returning the visor to a predetermined position and for releasably holding the visor in such position. In one embodiment of the invention, the first member is also an elastically deformable plate which engages flats formed in the one side of the pivot rod. In yet another embodiment of the invention, collar shaped cam members surround the pivot rod and a compression spring urges the cam members together, one of which is anchored to the pivot rod and the other of which is rotationally anchored to the visor body but is free to slide on the visor rod. Each of the cam members includes interengaging inclined surfaces for urging the visor under the spring compression into a predetermined position and releasably hold the visor in such position.
