Abstract

See full text

An assembly is disclosed for mounting a sun visor to the roof of a motor vehicle. The assembly comprises a frame, an arm receiver, and a spring. The frame has an opening therethrough, a plurality of anchors disposed around the perimeter of the frame opening and adapted to engage the roof, and a plurality of stop tabs disposed around the perimeter of the frame opening. The arm receiver has an upper flange adapted to be inserted through the frame opening, a plurality of channels adapted to receive a corresponding stop tab, and a lower flange. The spring is disposed between the frame and the arm receiver so that upon insertion of the upper flange of the arm receiver through the frame opening and rotation of the arm receiver about a central axis, the rotation stop tabs enter their corresponding channels and are held therein to prevent the arm receiver from being withdrawn through the frame opening. An arm of the sun visor can thereafter be mounted to or removed from the arm receiver without the use of tools or fasteners.
