Vehicle sun visor
View Patent ↗A vehicle sun visor has a sun visor body including an electrical component, a non-conductive arm including a cylindrical-end portion on which contact parts of a pair of conductor 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. The mounting bracket includes 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 contact parts in arcuate-plate shape are arranged via a gap on an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical-end portion exposed outside the arm-supporting portion of the non-conductive arm.
1. A vehicle sun visor comprising:
a sun visor body including an electrical component;
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 arranged via a gap on an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical-end portion exposed outside the arm-supporting portion of the non-conductive arm, and
a recess for attaching the connector is provided in the gap between the pair of arcuate-plate shape contact parts on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical-end portion of the non-conductive arm.
2. The vehicle sun visor according to claim 1 ,
wherein a spring-portion-displacing protrusion configured to lift the contact portion provided on a spring portion of the terminal wherein the spring portion elastically deforms is provided on a lower position of the recess for attaching the connector wherein the recess is provided on the cylindrical-end portion of the non-conductive arm.
3. The vehicle sun visor according to claim 2 ,
wherein a guide portion is provided at a position of the spring portion wherein the position is faced with the spring-portion-displacing protrusion.
4. The vehicle sun visor according to claim 3 ,
wherein a lower guide piece configured to guide the spring portion when attaching the connector and a lateral guide piece configured to guide the spring portion when rotating the non-conductive arm are provided on the guide portion of the terminal.
