Side visor fastener

A side visor fastener for fixing a side visor to a frame of a vehicle body, comprising:

• a. a retainer to be fixed to a mounting portion of the frame;
• b. a clip having a receiver clip element and a pin clip element;
• c. a thin-walled hinge interconnecting the retainer and the clip;
• d. the receiver clip element adapted to be disposed on the rear side of the side visor and the pin clip element to be inserted from the front side of the side visor into the receiver clip element through the side visor to engage with the receiver clip element wherein the receiver clip element is integrally connected with the retainer through the thin-walled hinge in a swingable manner in response to an inclination of the side visor and with respect to the frame,
• e. the receiver clip element is served as the portion of the fastener extending from the retainer to support the side visor through the thin-walled hinge, whereby the side visor is fixed to the frame through the retainer while the side visor is sandwiched between the receiver clip element and the pin clip element;
• and
• f. the thin-walled hinge is selected from the group consisting of a configuration having a thickness equal to or less than one-half of the thickness of an edge of the retainer or an edge of the receiver clip element in the central region between the edge of the retainer and the edge of the receiver clip element, a configuration having a gradually reduced thickness from the retainer edge and the receiver clip element edge toward a central region therebetween, and a configuration having an even thickness between the retainer edge and the receiver clip element edge, with the configuration having a thickness which is less than either of the edges.
