Abstract:
1. A vehicle sun visor comprising: a sun visor body; a support shaft mounted on a ceiling surface of a vehicle cabin and configured to support the sun visor body at a turning center position of the sun visor body such that the sun visor body is turnable between a storage position at which the sun visor body is oriented along the ceiling surface of the vehicle cabin and a use position at which the sun visor body is able to block light; an urging member configured to, when a turning angle of the sun visor body from the storage position is smaller than or equal to a predetermined angle, apply turning force toward the storage position to the sun visor body; and a damper configured to apply braking force at the time when the sun visor body turns, wherein when a turning speed of the sun visor body toward the storage position is lower than or equal to a predetermined speed, the braking force of the damper is smaller than a value obtained by subtracting turning force based on the weight of the sun visor body from the turning force of the urging member, and, when the turning speed toward the storage position exceeds the predetermined speed, the braking force of the damper is larger than or equal to the value obtained by subtracting the turning force based on the weight of the sun visor body from the turning force of the urging member.
