Abstract

A lampholder device (1) for a vehicle headlight with a tilt reflector (3) associated with a lamp (4) having power contacts defined by at least one blade connector (6) and a conducting collar (7), the device having: an electrically non-conducting body (12); at least one first contact (14) housed in a seat in the body to receive the blade connector (6), and in the form of a gripper; and at least one second contact (17) carried by the body and having a flange (20) located outside the seat and designed to fit onto the rear of the collar of the lamp (4) and angularly integral with the lamp, and at least one elastically deformable arm (21) housed in and projecting from the seat, formed integrally with the flange (20), and designed to allow the flange to move, with respect to the body, between a first limit position coaxial with a first limit position of the reflector (3), rotated of a predetermined angle with respect to an axis (A) of the headlight parallel to the travelling direction (M) of the vehicle, and a second limit position coaxial with a second limit position of the reflector (3), rotated by an angle, opposite to the angle of said first limit position, with respect to the axis of the headlight, and via an intermediate position aligned with the axis (A) of the headlight.
