Sliding panel/latching-spring cage
View Patent ↗A sun visor, such as for a vehicle, includes a spindle about which the sun visor may be pivoted and along which the sun visor may be displaced longitudinally. The spindle has a flattened portion. A latching-spring cage has a first pressure means. A tube receives a displaceable slide, while the slide receives the latching-spring cage, which in turn receives the spindle. A braking moment with regard to longitudinal displacement of the sun visor along the spindle is provided by second pressure means.
