Abstract
Sunshade, intended for use in motor vehicles and substantially comprising a light-shielding unit. Said unit is arranged to be pivotally suspended in a fixed portion of the vehicle by means of a hinge, which substantially comprises a rod-shaped shaft part and a sleeve-shaped part. One of said parts is anchored to said fixed portion of the vehicle and the other is rigidly connected with the shielding unit. Said two parts are pivotally connected each other by a suitably chosen frictional force. The sleeve-shaped part has at least one sleeve-portion, which tends to occupy a position radially displaced relative to the principal pivoting axis of the hinge.

A sunshade intended for use in motor vehicles, comprising:
- a light-shielding unit, a hinge for pivotally suspending said unit in a fixed portion of the vehicle, said hinge comprisng a rod-shaped shaft part and a sleeve-shaped part, one of said parts being anchored to said fixed portion and the other being rigidly connected with the shielding unit, said two parts being pivotally connected to each other with a suitably chosen friction, said sleeve-shaped part having at least two sleeve portions, an anchoring plate connecting said sleeve portions to each other at a distance from the pivoting axis of the hinge, at least one of the sleeve portions being biased relative to the other of the sleeve portions by a bias foce so that said one sleeve portion tends to take a radially displaced position relative to the pivoting axis of the hinge, said anchoring plate having a recess between the sleeve portions extending a predetermined distance from said pivoting axis, said distance determining the moment arm of said bias force.
