A visor control includes a first member positioned in the body of the visor and engaging one side of a pivot rod also extending within the visor body for moving the visor between stored and use positions. An elastically deformable plate has one end secured to the first member and engages an opposite side of the pivot rod in an elastically deformed position. The rod includes a flat formed in the opposite side for engagement by the deformable plate to provide a torque for returning the visor to a predetermined position and for releasably holding the visor in such position. In one embodiment of the invention, the first member is also an elastically deformable plate which engages flats formed in the one side of the pivot rod. In yet another embodiment of the invention, collar shaped cam members surround the pivot rod and a compression spring urges the cam members together, one of which is anchored to the pivot rod and the other of which is rotationally anchored to the visor body but is free to slide on the visor rod. Each of the cam members includes interengaging inclined surfaces for urging the visor under the spring compression into a predetermined position and releasably hold the visor in such position.

A visor system includes nested coaxial pivot couplings for multiple visor panels which can be substantially flat, planer bodies which are positioned in closely adjacent relationship to one another by the mounting brackets and pivot about a common pivot axis when so nested. In one embodiment, the pivot coupling comprises a semi-cylindrical member with at least one nesting semi-cylindrical or cylindrical pivot rod attached to the visor panels and which coaxially align along a single, longitudinal axis. In other embodiments, a solid pivot rod is employed and is mounted to a visor panel to include an exposed section for snap-receiving a semi-cylindrical pivot socket of another visor panel.

A telephone mounting system includes a carriage which is mounted within the top or cover of a vehicle storage console or armrest and pivots from a stored position in which its decorative surface is substantially flush with the upper surface of the console or armrest to a use position in which the opposite side of the carriage is presented and holds a cellular telephone handset. Access for use of the telephone, therefore, is provided without opening the cover of the console or armrest and the cover can be moved independently of the telephone mount.

A telephone mount for an automobile includes a telephone housing in which a telephone receiver carriage is slidably mounted. The carriage slides along arcuate guide tracks in order to both translate and rotate while shifting between the storage position within the housing and a use position in which the receiver is located through the housing opening. A constant force spring biases the carriage from the storage position to the use position and a latch mechanism maintains the carriage in the storage position.
