ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for attaching a visor to a vehicle in storage and use positions. The attachment arrangement is formed from a pivot shaft having a mounted end adapted to be mounted to the vehicle and a free end. The pivot shaft has a flat surface which is oriented along the longitudinal axis of the pivot shaft a predetermined distance between the mounting end and the free end. The pivot shaft further has a circumambient groove located around the pivot shaft. A spring clip is also provided which cooperates between the visor and the pivot shaft to pivotally position the visor. The spring clip has a narrow portion which cooperates with the flat surface on the pivot shaft to provide a detent for positioning the visor in a storage position. The spring clip has a wide portion which spans the predetermined distance and is located opposite the narrow portion to ensure free pivotal movement of the visor about the pivot shaft except in the storage position. The spring clip further has a locating follower on the wide portion cooperating with the groove for longitudinally locating the spring clip on the pivot shaft.
