View Patent ↗A vehicle sun visor has a sun-visor body including an illumination lamp, a non-conductive arm including a cylindrical-end portion with contact parts of a pair of conductors rotatably holding the sun visor body, a mounting bracket for mounting the arm to a vehicle, and a connector detachably attached to the mounting bracket and including a pair of terminals each having a contact portion to contact with a corresponding contact part of the pair of conductors. An arm-supporting portion of the mounting bracket rotatably supports a cylindrical-end-portion side of the arm. The contact parts of the pair of conductors are in arcuate-plate shape and provided with a cutout on an outer-peripheral surface of the cylindrical-end portion exposed outside the arm-supporting portion. A terminal-fixing portion provided in a housing of the connector fix a base portion of each contact portion, and a terminal-support portion supports a free end of each contact portion.
1. A vehicle sun visor comprising:
a sun visor body including an illumination lamp;
a non-conductive arm comprising a cylindrical-end portion on which contact parts of a pair of conductors are arranged and rotatably holding the sun visor body;
a mounting bracket configured to mount the non-conductive arm to a vehicle; and
a connector detachably attached to the mounting bracket and including a pair of terminals each having a contact portion to contact with a corresponding contact part of the pair of conductors and configured to supply electric power, wherein
the mounting bracket comprises an arm-supporting portion rotatably supporting a cylindrical-end-portion side of the non-conductive arm,
the contact parts of the pair of conductors are formed in an arcuate-plate shape,
the pair of arcuate-plate shape contact parts is provided with a cutout on an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical-end portion exposed outside the arm-supporting portion of the non-conductive arm, and
a terminal-fixing portion configured to fix a base portion of each contact portion of the pair of terminals is provided in a housing of the connector, and a terminal-support portion for supporting a free end of each contact portion is provided in the housing of the connector.
2. The vehicle sun visor according to claim 1 ,
wherein when the pair of terminals is assembled to the connector, the terminal-support portion of the housing supports the free end of each contact portion of the pair of terminals with a load applied in advance.
