Holder for the securing of a sun visor

A holder for securing an electrified sun visor to a vehicle, the holder comprising:

• a securing arm having a first conductor disposed therein;
• a mount including a base plate for mounting the holder to a ceiling of the vehicle, a projection projecting from an outer surface of the base plate, and a plug contact housing projecting from the outer surface of the base plate, the mount further including at least one chamber for receiving the first conductor and for receiving one or more contact springs electrically contacting the first conductor, the mount further including an opening for exposing a portion of the one or more contact springs;
• a counter-piece mounted to a cutout in the ceiling of the vehicle and a reception chamber capable of receiving the plug contact housing of the mount;
• and
• a second conductor, a portion of the second conductor being disposed within the reception chamber of the counter-piece,
• wherein the exposed portion of the one or more contact springs establish an electrical connection between the first conductor and the second conductor when the plug contact housing is inserted through the ceiling of the vehicle and into the reception chamber of the counter-piece.

• a mount including a base plate having first outer surface and a second outer surface, a projection projecting from the first outer surface of the base plate, and a plug contact housing projecting from the second outer surface of the base plate, a portion of the first conductor being disposed within a chamber disposed within the projection of the mount, the mount further including a contact spring disposed within the plug contact housing of the mount and being in electrical contact with the first conductor;
• a counter-piece mounted into a cutout in the ceiling of the vehicle and including a reception chamber capable of receiving the plug contact housing of the mount;
• and
• a second conductor, a portion of the second conductor being disposed within the reception chamber of the counter-piece,
• wherein the plug contact housing establishes an electrical connection between the first conductor and the second conductor when the plug contact housing is inserted through the ceiling of the vehicle and into the reception chamber of the counter-piece.

A method of making a holder for securing an electrified sun visor to a vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:

• disposing a portion of a first conductor within a securing arm;
• mounting a counter-piece to a cutout in a ceiling of the vehicle by use of a pair of rail sections formed on the sides of the counter-piece, the counter-piece including a reception chamber;
• disposing a portion of a second conductor within the reception chamber of the counter-piece;
• and
• inserting a plug contact housing of a mount through the cutout in the ceiling of the vehicle and into the reception chamber of the counter-piece,
• whereby the plug contact housing establishes an electrical connection between the first conductor and the second conductor when the plug contact housing is inserted through the ceiling of the vehicle and into the reception chamber of the counter-piece.
