Abstract

Ein Fahrzeugscheinwerfer weist eine elektrische Verstelleinrichtung (16) für eine verstellbare Blende (4) auf. Die Blende (4) ist in eine Fern- und Abblendlicht ergebende Stellung verstellbar. Bei inaktiver elektrischer Verstelleinrichtung (16) verstellt eine Stellvorrichtung (17) die Blende (4) selbsttätig von der Fernlicht- in die Abblendlichtstellung. In der Abblendlichtstellung liegt die Blende (4) an einem Anschlag (19,33) an und ist in dieser Stellung durch eine Haltevorrichtung (18,22,36) gehaltert. Die Blende (4) bildet zusammen mit der Stellvorrichtung (17), der Haltevorrichtung (18,22,36) und dem Anschlag (19,33) eine Baueinheit.

Figure 00000001
A vehicle headlight has an electrical adjustment device (16) for an adjustable diaphragm (4). The aperture (4) can be adjusted into a position giving high beam and low beam. When the electrical adjustment device (16) is inactive, an adjusting device (17) automatically adjusts the diaphragm (4) from the high beam position to the low beam position. In the low beam position, the diaphragm (4) lies against a stop (19, 33) and is held in this position by a holding device (18, 22, 36). The panel (4) forms a structural unit together with the adjusting device (17), the holding device (18, 22, 36) and the stop (19, 33).
