Abstract

An article holder which is generally of an S-shaped cross section and includes an upper slot for receiving an edge portion of a vehicle sun visor and a lower slot for receiving an article to be temporarily held within a vehicle, such as sunglasses or eyeglasses. The article holder is easily fitted onto the sun visor and positions the article held thereby in a readily accessible position. If desired, the article may also carry a holder for a pen or pencil and also a mirror. The article holder preferably includes a sheet metal core covered by suitable fabrics with the fabrics being applied to the sheet metal core when the core is in its flat planar state, after which the core is bent to the desired S-shaped configuration of the article holder.
