Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Einstellen des Reflektors, insbesondere von Einbauscheinwerfern für Fahrzeuge mittels zweier Einstellschrauben, wobei der Reflektor an einem Punkt des Reflektortragringes gelenkig gelagert ist und die Verstellung um eine senkrechte Achse des Scheinwerfers durch eine dem Gelenk gegenüberliegende Stellschraube erfolgt, während die Verstellung der Höhe nach mittels einer zweiten Stellschraube vorgenommen wird, und zwar um eine geneigte Achse, die durch den Angriffspunkt der ersten Stellschraube und den Gelenkpunkt gebildet wird. Bei den bekannten Vorrichtungen dieser Art greifen die Einstellschrauben- mittelbar oder über eine Winkelschiene, die sich in entsprechenden Ausschnitten des Tragringes führt, am Reflektorrand an und stehen unter dem Einfluß von ihren Schaft umgebenden Schraubenfedern, deren Druck die jeweils eingestellte Lage des Reflektors definiert. Bei einer bekannten Scheinwerferanordnung ist die der einen Einstellschraube zugeordnete Feder als doppelte Bandfeder ausgebildet, die sich gegen den Reflektorrand abstützt, während die zweite Einstellschraube unter dem Einfluß einer ihren Schaft umgebenden Schraubenfeder steht.The invention relates to a device for adjusting the reflector, in particular of built-in headlights for vehicles using two adjusting screws, wherein the reflector is articulated at one point on the reflector support ring and the adjustment about a vertical axis of the headlight by one of the hinge opposite adjusting screw takes place, while the height is adjusted by means of a second set screw is made, about an inclined axis, the is formed by the point of application of the first set screw and the hinge point. In the known devices of this type, the adjusting screws engage indirectly or via an angle rail, which is located in corresponding sections of the support ring leads, at the reflector edge and are under the influence of their shaft surrounding Coil springs, the pressure of which defines the position of the reflector set in each case. In a known headlight arrangement, the one is assigned to an adjusting screw Spring designed as a double ribbon spring, which is supported against the reflector edge, while the second adjusting screw is under the influence of one surrounding its shaft Coil spring stands.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine vereinfachte Ausführung einer derartigen Einstellvorrichtung und besteht darin, für beide Einstellschrauben eine gemeinsame Feder zu verwenden und diese als Bügelfeder auszubilden, die mit ihrem Scheitel am Umtang des Tragringes anliegt und deren sphärisch gebogeneEnden in der Nähe der Schraubenangriffspunkte in den Reflektorrand eingreifen. Zweckmäßigerweise wird man bei dieser Ausführungsart die beiden Einstellschrauben symmetrisch zur senkrechten Mittelachse anordnen und den Gelenkpunkt auf einer Senkrechten durch einen der beiden Angriffspunkte der Stellschraube am entgegengesetzten Reflektorrand vorsehen.The invention relates to a simplified embodiment of such a type Adjustment device and consists in a common for both adjustment screws To use the spring and train it as a bow spring with its apex rests against the circumference of the support ring and its spherically curved ends near the Engage the screw contact points in the reflector edge. Appropriately is in this version, the two adjusting screws are symmetrical to the vertical Arrange the central axis and the hinge point on a perpendicular through one of the two Provide points of application for the adjusting screw on the opposite edge of the reflector.

Die Zeichnung veranschaulicht ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung, und zwar stellt Abb. i die Rückansicht des Scheinwerfers dar, während Abb.2 die Draufsicht des Scheinwerfers von unten her (in Pfeilrichtung C) zeigt; in Abb. 3 ist ein Teilschnitt des Scheinwerfers längs der Linie A-A der Abb. i dargestellt. Der Reflektor i ist in bekannter Weise im Tragring :2 an der Lagerstelle 3 gelenkig aufgehängt. Die Stellschrauben q. und 5, welche die Einstellung um die senkrechte bzw. horizontale Achse bewirken, sind als den Glashaltering 6 durchdringende und sich auf diesem abstützende Schraubbolzen ausgebildet, die in die Winkelschiene 7 eingreifen und auf den Reflektorrand 8 einwirken. Die Einstellschraube ¢ zur Verstellung um die senkrechte Achse und die gelenkige Lagerstelle 3 sind auf der Senkrechten x-x angeordnet, während die die Verstellung des Scheinwerfers der Höhe nach bewirkende Stellschraube 5 symmetrisch zu der Stellschraube q. in bezug auf die Mittelachse gelagert ist.The drawing illustrates an embodiment of the invention, namely Fig. i shows the rear view of the headlight, while Fig.2 the Shows a plan view of the headlamp from below (in the direction of arrow C); in Fig. 3 shows a partial section of the headlamp along the line A-A of Fig. i. The reflector i is articulated in the support ring in a known manner: 2 at the bearing point 3 hung up. The adjusting screws q. and 5, showing the setting around the vertical or cause horizontal axis are as the glass retaining ring 6 penetrating and formed on this supporting bolt, which is in the angle rail 7 engage and act on the reflector edge 8. The adjusting screw ¢ for adjustment around the vertical axis and the articulated bearing point 3 are on the vertical x-x arranged, while the height adjustment of the headlight is effected Adjusting screw 5 symmetrical to the adjusting screw q. with respect to the central axis is stored.

Erfindungsgemäß wird für beide Stellschrauben ein gemeinsames federndes Gegenlager verwendet, das aus der Bügelfeder g besteht. Diese Bügelfeder umfaßt mit ihrem Scheitel teilweise den Tragring 2 und stützt sich dort an den Nocken io ab. Die beiden Enden ii und i2 der Bügelfeder greifen in den Reflektorrand an der gleichen Stelle ein, an der die Stellschrauben q, bzw. 5 anfassen. Beim Verstellen einer der beiden Stellschrauben wird die Spannung innerhalb der Bügelfeder verstärkt oder abgeschwächt, so daß der Reflektor der auf ihn ausgeübten Kraft sicher folgen kann.According to the invention, a common resilient one is used for both adjusting screws Counter bearing used, which consists of the bow spring g. This bow spring includes with its apex partially the support ring 2 and is supported there on the cam io away. The two ends ii and i2 of the bow spring engage in the reflector edge on the at the same point where the adjusting screws q or 5 grip. When adjusting one of the two adjusting screws increases the tension within the bow spring or weakened, so that the reflector safely follow the force exerted on it can.
