Abstract

In the present invention, magnets are mounted in a button part of a vanity lamp exposed toward a vehicle interior and a portion of a sun visor facing the button part to provide both a repulsive force and an attractive force so that a sun visor returns to a predetermined location with respect to the button part when the sun visor is folded, thereby preventing a phenomenon in which the vanity lamp is not turned off and a surface of the sun visor is damaged when the sun visor is folded and conveniently using the sun visor. Particularly, in the present invention, the vanity lamp can be turned off through only a simple manipulation of folding the sun visor without separate power by using permanent magnets as the magnets.

a button ( 110 ) which is installed in the main body ( 100 ) such that a portion of the button ( 110 ) protrudes outward from the main body ( 100 ) and serves as a switch by being pressed by the sun visor ( 200 ) when the sun visor ( 200 ) is folded,

wherein a first magnet ( 111 ) having different polarities at locations closer to and farther from a rotary center of the sun visor ( 200 ) is mounted in the button ( 110 ),

a second magnet ( 210 ) is installed in the sun visor ( 200 ) at a location facing the first magnet ( 111 ),

a polarity of the second magnet ( 210 ) is different from that of a portion of the first magnet ( 111 ) disposed closer to the rotary center of the sun visor ( 200 ), and

a polarity of the second magnet ( 210 ) is the same as that of a portion of the first magnet ( 111 ) disposed farther from the rotary center of the sun visor ( 200 ).
