Claims (8)

  1. 1 . A vehicle sun visor with a ticket holder, comprising: a visor body having a plate shape; and the ticket holder secured to the visor body and configured to hold a ticket in cooperation with the visor body, wherein the visor body includes an escape portion that passes through a front surface of the visor body or is provided so as to be recessed into the front surface of the visor body, at a position facing the ticket holder, the ticket holder includes a convex portion that bulges toward a side of the visor body, the escape portion faces the convex portion, and the escape portion is narrower than a portion of the ticket holder other than the convex portion as viewed along a direction in which the convex portion bulges toward the side of the visor body.
  2. 2 . The vehicle sun visor with the ticket holder according to claim 1 , wherein the escape portion has such a width length that the escape portion expands beyond both mutually facing edges of the convex portion.
  3. 3 . The vehicle sun visor with the ticket holder according to claim 1 , wherein the convex portion of the ticket holder includes an inclined surface that gradually advances toward the side of the visor body from a distal end into which a ticket is inserted toward a base portion of the ticket holder.
  4. 4 . The vehicle sun visor with the ticket holder according to claim 1 , further comprising a coat covering the visor body and the escape portion.
  5. 5 . The vehicle sun visor with the ticket holder according to claim 1 , further comprising: a support shaft configured to be attached to and detached from a vehicle body; and a fixation mount configured to secure the support shaft to the visor body, wherein the ticket holder is provided on the fixation mount.
  6. 6 . The vehicle sun visor with the ticket holder according to claim 1 , further comprising a second ticket holder disposed on a back surface of the front surface of the visor body, the ticket holder being provided on the front surface of the visor body, wherein the ticket holder and the second ticket holder are configured to be integrally secured to the visor body.
  7. 7 . The vehicle sun visor with the ticket holder according to claim 1 , further comprising a trim for a vanity mirror that is secured to the visor body, wherein the ticket holder extends from an end edge of the trim.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a vehicle sun visor with a ticket holder. BACKGROUND ART Patent Literature 1 discloses a sun visor that includes a ticket holder. The ticket holder includes a plate-shaped holder body made of resin. In the holder body, a boss projecting on a back surface is inserted into an opening hole formed on a sun visor body. The boss is stuck to the sun visor body by an adhesive agent. Thereby, the holder body is secured to the sun visor body. A protrusion for holding is formed on the back surface of the holder body. When a ticket is inserted between the holder body and the sun visor body, the holder body is elastically deformed. Using the elastic deformation of the holder body, the protrusion for holding presses the ticket against the sun visor body. Thereby, the ticket is held between the holder body and the sun visor body. CITATION LIST Patent Literature Patent Literature 1: Japanese Patent No. 3115524 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION However, there is a limit on the elastic deformation amount of the holder body. Therefore, there is a limit on the thickness of the ticket that can be held between the holder body and the visor body. Hence, conventionally, a vehicle sun visor including a ticket holder that can hold a ticket having a large thickness is needed. According to a characteristic of the present disclosure, a vehicle sun visor includes a visor body that has a plate shape. A ticket holder that holds a ticket in cooperation with the visor body is secured to the visor body. The visor body includes an escape portion that passes through or is provided so as to be recessed into a front surface of the visor body, at a position facing the ticket holder. When the ticket is inserted between the ticket holder and the visor body, the ticket holder is elastically deformed. The ticket is pressed by the ticket holder, and is elastically deformed toward the escape portion. Therefore, the ticket is held between the ticket holder and the visor body, using both of the elastic deformation of the ticket holder and the elastic deformation of the ticket itself. The ticket is elastically deformed toward the escape portion, and therefore, even when the thickness of the ticket is large, the ticket is held between the ticket holder and the visor body, using the escape portion. In other words, the ticket having a large thickness can be held between the ticket holder and the visor body, while the escape portion avoids the ticket holder from being elastically deformed highly. According to another characteristic of the present disclosure, the ticket holder includes a convex portion that bulges toward the side of the visor body. The escape portion is positioned so as to face the convex portion. Accordingly, the ticket is elastically deformed surely toward the escape portion of the visor body, using the convex portion of the ticket holder. Thus, the ticket can be elastically deformed surely. Moreover, by being pressed by the convex portion, the ticket is restrained from falling out of between the ticket holder and the visor body. According to another characteristic of the present disclosure, the escape portion of the visor body has such a width length that the escape portion expands beyond both mutually facing edges of the convex portion. Accordingly, the convex portion is positioned within the width of the escape portion. Therefore, a first portion of the ticket that faces the convex portion is easily pressed by the convex portion, into the escape portion or toward the escape portion. On the other hand, second portions of the ticket on both sides of the first portion are easily returned to both sides of the convex portion through the escape portion. Therefore, the ticket can be elastically deformed surely. According to another characteristic of the present disclosure, the convex portion of the ticket holder includes an inclined surface that gradually advances toward the side of the visor body from a distal end into which a ticket is inserted toward a base portion of the ticket holder. Accordingly, by inserting the ticket into the ticket holder, the ticket is elastically deformed smoothly to the side of the visor body along the convex portion of the ticket holder. According to another characteristic of the present disclosure, the vehicle sun visor includes a coat that covers the visor body and the escape portion. Accordingly, the ticket holder presses the coat toward the escape portion of the visor body. The coat is elastically deformed so as to be recessed at the escape portion. When the ticket is put in between the coat and the ticket holder, the coat prevents the ticket from being caught by the escape portion. Thereby, the ticket is smoothly put in a gap between the ticket holder and the visor body. Moreover, since the escape portion of the visor body is covered by the coat, the vehicle sun visor having a good appearance is obtained. According to another characteristic of the present disclosure, the
