Abstract
1,222,482. Directing vehicle lamps. SOC. ANON. AUTOMOBILES CITROEN. 13 Feb., 1969 [16 Feb., 1968], No. 7751/69. Heading F4R. A vehicle headlamp system comprises at least one pair of headlamps mounted to pivot about respective axes in response to movements of the vehicle steering system, and means responsive to the pitching of the vehicle to vary the inclination of the pivot axes in such a manner as to maintain the lamp beams in a substantially horizontal plane. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2 the vehicle has a pair of two-filament lamps 1 and a pair of long-range lamps 2 which are mounted in frames 37 adapted to pivot relative to the chassis 5 on a horizontal spindle 38. The inclination of the frames is controlled by a pair of Bowden cables 39, 40 connected by means of arms 21, 29 and resilient bars 20, 28 to arms 19, 27 secured to the front and rear anti-roll torsion bars 13, 17. The lamps 1 are fixed relative to the frames 37 and the lamps 2 are pivoted on spindles 3 and are connected by Bowden cables 50 to the steering mechanism so as to turn therewith. A dashpot 48 is provided to prevent rapid vibration of the frames. In a modification (Fig. 3, not shown) the lamps 1 are also pivoted in the frames 37 and are connected to the steering mechanism by cables (58) so as to pivot through a smaller angle than the lamps 2. In a second embodiment (Fig. 1, not shown) the lamps 1 are fixed to the chassis and the tilting of the lamps 2 is controlled by an hydraulic system.
