Abstract
Abstract Improvement to the support means of light protection shields, commonly called sun visors (10), for motor vehicles in general, comprising a shield borne by a revolving pin (11), one part of which, fixed to the edge of each visor, is provided with a double tapered end (30, 31) coupled to a corresponding seat (32) in the relative fixed support (12) by means of moderate elastic deformation of the material constituting the support (12); the part of said supporting pin (11a) cooperating with a lamellar spring (18) having a "U"-shaped profile, mounted astride of the framework of the visor and of the pin; the part of the pin (11a) crossing the "U"-shaped spring (18) being terminally provided with spiked blocking means (16) which prevents the pin (11) from slipping out of the rotation seat (13).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
166 words
Improvement to the support means of sun visors in motor vehicles in general, characterised by the fact that it comprises a pin (11, 11a) the end of which (30, 31) is double tapered like the corresponding seat (32) of a corresponding support (12). A lamellar spring (18) cooperates with a faceted part (15) of said pin, said spring being "U"-shaped, while a short portion (18a) of the end of at least one of its branches is bent towards the outside of the "U"-shaped profile and protrudes into one of the two lateral windows (26) opposite the support, said windows being made up of transverse portions (19a) situated in correspondence with a groove (26) in the support. The branches of the spring (18) are mounted between the portions (19a); further characterised by the fact that the end of the pin (11) mounted in the support of the framework (14) is provided with spiked blocking means (16) acting in a space (17) preventing the pin from slipping out.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
69 words
Improvement according to Claim 1, characterised by the fact that the double tapered end (30, 31) of the pin (11) is mounted by forced coupling into the corresponding double tapered seat (30) of the support (12), by means of moderate elastic deformation of the material constituting the support, in order to obtain coupling of the parts, revolving with friction, having no other stopping means, and not being spontaneously dividable.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
70 words
Improvement according to Claim 1, and according to a variant of the support (19) of the visor (Figures 7, 8), characterised by the fact that said support, moulded in metal sheet, is an appliance, and is mounted to the top of the visor where it is blocked by transverse fixing means, such as points of welding (33) common to its terminal edge protruding into a cavity in the framework (34).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
Improvement according to Claim 1 and to Claim 3, characterised by the fact that between the lower, connecting edges of the support (19) in metal sheet, a distance pin (27) is inserted.
