Abstract:
A mounting assembly for a vehicle visor blade assembly, said mounting assembly adapted for attachment to a headliner having a headliner aperture, a proximal surface, and a distal surface, said mounting assembly also adapted for attachment to a vehicle panel having a panel aperture, said mounting assembly comprising:an elbow attachable to the said visor blade assembly;a mounting bracket having an opening for rotatably receiving said elbow whereby rotation of said elbow defines an axis of said mounting assembly, said mounting bracket having a portion extending laterally relative to said axis, said laterally extending portion engageable with the said proximal surface of the said headliner;at least one retaining member, said at least one retaining member axially spaced from said laterally extending portion in a distal direction and extending laterally relative to said axis, whereby a portion of the said headliner adjacent the said headliner aperture is attachably secured between said laterally extending portion and said at least one retaining member by engagement of the said proximal surface with said laterally extending portion and engagement of the said distal surface with said at least one retaining member; andat least one securement member insertable through the said panel aperture after attachment of said mounting assembly to the said headliner, said at least one securement member extending generally axially and in a distal direction whereby insertion of said securement member in the said panel aperture positions the said distal surface of the said headliner near the said vehicle panel, said at least one securement member having a latching surface for engaging the said panel adjacent the said panel aperture whereby said mounting assembly may be attached to the said panel.
