Abstract:

An exterior visor for an automotive vehicle; the visor extending forward over the windshield of the vehicle. The visor includes a number of recessed air vents located in the upper surface of the visor and which are formed by transverse midwalls which are mounted between the front and rear edges of the visor, and by lengthwise extending sidewalls which are connected between the midwalls and the visor rear edge. The air cavities are further formed by individual floor members which extend rearward and upward from the bottom edges of the midwalls. Openings are formed in the midwalls to allow airflow between the bottom surface and top surface of the visor. Fasteners such as pop rivets are inserted through mounting tabs which extend rearward from the visor rear edge and through the cavity floors, to secure the visor to the vehicle above the windshield.
