Abstract
An improved releasable extension unit of a sun visor has been invented to reduce glare and to provide a better shading means for a driver and a front seat passenger in a motor vehicle. The unit is comprised of two interconnected panels and a base clamping unit of C-shaped cross section. The unit is mounted on the visor by hooking the clamping unit to the top edge of the visor. The upper panel can be moved laterally on the clamping unit. The lower panel is like an extension of upper panel. When the upper panel moves, it carries the lower panel along. The lower panel can be moved vertically with respect to the upper panel. These panels can be extended alone or in combination to provide necessary additional blocking of sun rays coming through the windshield or a front side window of the motor vehicle.
