Abstract
A retainer slidably maintains a sun visor extension adjacent a sun visor while accommodating lateral and longitudinal displacement of the extension with respect to the sun visor.
Claims6
Apparatus for retaining a slidably positionable sun shield adjacent one surface of a vehicle mounted sun visor, said apparatus comprising in combination:
- a. a rectangular wire frame for partially transversely circumscribing the sun visor, said wire frame being folded upon itself to extend across one edge of the sun visor and define a first and second U-shaped section for exerting a gripping force upon opposed sides of the sun visor;
- b. a leg supported by said first U-shaped section and having a free end extending transverse to another edge of the sun visor for securing said wire frame about the sun visor;
- and
- c. a prong disposed at the free end of said leg for engaging the surface of the sun visor adjacent said second U-shaped section to maintain said leg transverse to the other edge of the sun visor;
- whereby, on insertion of the shield intermediate said second U-shaped section and the adjacent surface of the sun visor, the gripping force exerted by said second U-shaped section retains the shield parallel and adjacent the sun visor while accomodating longitudinally and laterally directed slidable movement of the shield.

Apparatus for selectively extending the sun shielding perimeter of a vehicle mounted sun visor, said apparatus comprising in combination:
- a. a rectangular wire frame for partially transversely circumscribing the sun visor, said wire frame being folded upon itself to extend across one edge of the sun visor and define a first and second U-shaped section for exerting a gripping force upon opposed sides of the sun visor;
- b. a leg supported by said first U-shaped section and having a free end extending transverse to another edge of the sun visor for securing, in combination with the folds of said rectangular wire frame, said wire frame about the sun visor;
- c. a prong disposed at the free end of said leg for engaging the surface of the sun visor adjacent said second U-shaped section to maintain said leg transverse to the other edge of the sun visor;
- and
- d. a sun shield slidably disposed intermediate said second U-shaped section and the adjacent surface of the sun visor;
- whereby, the gripping force exerted by said second U-shaped section retains said sun shield parallel and adjacent the sun visor while accommodating longitudinally and laterally directed slidable movement of said sun shield.
