Definitions

  • the adjustable diaphragm lies flat against a fixed diaphragm and can be adjusted into the two end positions about a pivot axis running parallel to the optical axis of the headlight. In both end positions, the diaphragm edge of the adjustable diaphragm, together with the diaphragm edge of the fixed diaphragm, creates the light-dark boundary of the light beam emerging from the headlight.
  • the adjustable screen is held in an end position by a tension spring.
  • an electrical or hydraulic adjusting device is articulated on it, by means of which the adjustable diaphragm is pressed into its other end position against the force of the tension spring and must be held in this.
  • the adjustable diaphragm In this end position, the adjustable diaphragm is only positioned exactly when the diaphragm is completely and precisely adjusted.
  • the adjustment of the aperture by an electrical adjustment device is very complex.
  • a headlight in which the diaphragm is adjustable by a two-armed actuating lever.
  • the lever is pivotally mounted on the headlight housing and has a slot at the free end of one arm, in which a pin rigidly connected to the panel engages, while the free end of the other arm has a slot in which a rigidly with an electrical adjustment device connected pin engages.
  • the diaphragm lies in one end position outside the light bundle emerging from the reflector, while in the other end position the diaphragm edge of the diaphragm produces the light-dark boundary of the light bundle emerging from the headlight. The latter end position is only accurate if the adjustment of the diaphragm is carried out completely and precisely.
  • the pins of the adjustable diaphragm and the electrical adjustment device must engage with play in the slots of the actuating lever so that they can be moved in the slots.
  • this does not keep the adjustable diaphragm free of vibrations.
  • the assembly of the actuating lever and the electrical adjustment device is very cumbersome and time-consuming, since the actuation lever must be pivotally attached to the headlight housing and in the headlight housing with both its one free end with the adjustable cover and with its other free end with the electrical adjustment device pair is.
  • the diaphragm is held free of vibration by the spring in both end positions. Furthermore, it is certain that the adjustable diaphragm always takes exactly the same position in its two end positions. In addition, in order to be able to operate the actuating lever, in addition to the opening in the rear of the headlight housing that serves to replace the light bulb, no further opening has to be made in the headlight housing.
  • Claim 15 claims a very stable operating lever, in which, according to claim 16, the end section serving as a handle can be held securely by hand.
  • the area between the arm and the bearing journal can be made so resiliently transversely to the adjustment direction that both a rigid arm and a rigid bearing journal bear against the contact surfaces of the reflector edge under prestress.
  • an actuating lever is proposed, which can be installed very easily.
  • Claims 19 to 21 propose a headlight in which a simple compression spring holds the adjustable diaphragm very precisely in its end positions.
  • the compression spring When the adjustable diaphragm is pivoted, the compression spring is continuously compressed up to a certain pressure point. When the pressure point is reached, the end sections of the compression spring are at the shortest distance from one another. After the pressure point has been exceeded, the distance between the end sections of the compression spring increases until the adjustable diaphragm lies against the fixed stop. After the pressure point of the compression spring has been exceeded, the compression spring swings it into its own due to the force acting on the adjustable diaphragm End position. As a result, there can be a lot of play between the two-armed actuating lever and the adjustable cover.
  • the headlight housing (1) In the headlight housing (1), the front opening of which is closed by the lens (2) and the rear opening of which is closed by the cap (3), there is one made of an ellipsoidal reflector (4), a lens (5) and one between the lens ( 5) and the reflector (4) arranged fixed first screen (6) and adjustable second screen (7) existing unit.
  • the reflector (4) has the opening (8) at the apex for receiving the incandescent lamp (9).
  • the frame (11) carrying the lens (5) is attached to the outer edge of the reflector (10).
  • the first panel (6) and the frame (11) are made in one piece from sheet metal.
  • the diaphragm edge (12) of the first diaphragm (6) is arranged approximately in the focal point of the lens (5) and has a profile which is common for a headlight for right-hand traffic.
  • the diaphragm edge (12) has a horizontal one the first part, which forms the section of the cut-off line lying on the side of oncoming traffic, and a second part falling to the horizontal, which forms the other section of the cut-off line.
  • the second panel (7) made of sheet metal bears against the main surface of the first panel (6) facing the lens (5) and perpendicular to the optical axis.
  • the second diaphragm (7) can be pivoted about an axis (14) running parallel to the optical axis in two end positions, the upper one being an active position and the lower one being a rest position (see FIG. 4).
  • the diaphragm edge (13) of the second diaphragm (7) lies below the diaphragm edge (12) of the fixed diaphragm
  • the diaphragm edge (13) of the second diaphragm (7) lies above the part of the diaphragm edge that falls horizontally (12) of the second diaphragm (6) and seen in the light exit direction merges into the horizontal part of the fixed diaphragm edge (12).
  • the pivot axis (14) runs below the fixed diaphragm edge (12).
  • the second diaphragm (7) has a downwardly cut free tongue (15) which engages with play in the slot (16) of an actuating lever (17) which is pivotably mounted on the lower reflector edge (10).
  • the two-armed actuating lever (17) can be pivoted about the axis (18), its arm (19) forming the slot (16) through a fork-shaped free end, while the free end (21) of its arm (20) forms the base of the incandescent lamp (9) is adjacent and serves as a handle for the operating lever (17). Between the handle and the swivel bearing, the lever bears against the back of the reflector (4).
  • the actuating lever (17) made of plastic tapers approximately from the pivot bearing towards the handle and has longitudinal reinforcing ribs (22), of which the reinforcing rib is interrupted in the area of the handle.
  • the reflector edge (10) of the reflector (4) made of plastic consists of a radially outward-pointing flange and a wall (23) molded onto the peripheral edge of the flange and pointing towards the rear of the headlight.
  • the narrow side surface of the wall (23) forms a bearing shell (24) which is open towards the rear of the headlight.
  • the bearing pin (25) pointing towards the reflector (4) engages in the bearing shell (24), on the side of which facing away from the bearing shell (24) a stiffening rib (37) is formed.
  • the bearing pin (25) has at its free end section the thickening (26) with which it engages behind the wall (23) in a self-locking manner.
  • the wall (27) On the outward-facing flange of the reflector edge (10), the wall (27) is formed on the side directed in the light exit direction, the narrow side surface of which runs in an arc, the center of which lies on the pivot axis (18). On the narrow side surface of the wall (27) rests an arm (28) molded onto the actuating lever (20), which engages behind the wall (27) with its thickening (29).
  • the operating lever (17) After the tongue (15) of the adjustable diaphragm (7) engages in the slot (16), the operating lever (17) has to be moved to the rear of the headlight until the thickening (29) of the resilient arm engages behind the wall (27).
  • the second diaphragm (7) is held by the compression spring (32) either in the upper or in the lower end position.
  • One free end section of the compression spring is fastened to the fixed pin (33) and is attached to the pin (34) of the adjustable diaphragm (7) at the end thereof.
  • the pin (34) projects through a longitudinal slot (35) in the stationary diaphragm (6).
  • the longitudinal slot describes an arc, the center of which lies on the pivot axis (14) of the adjustable diaphragm (7).
  • the narrow side surfaces of the longitudinal slot (35) serve as stops (36) for the pin (34) of the adjustable diaphragm (7).
  • the pin (33) of the fixed diaphragm (6) lies on a line which goes through the pivot axis (14) and passes centrally between the two stops (36).
