Abstract
An electromechanical sun visor for a motor vehicle window includes a sun shade screen rolled onto a spring-loaded takeup roller and a roller housing attachable to the interior of the roof of the vehicle adjacent the window upper side. A rotatable shaft is driven in forward and backward directions with a bidirectional electric motor connected to the car battery to retract and extend the sun shade screen. Extreme positions of the screen are detected with microswitches that control shut off of the motor.
