Abstract

1308067 Adjustable headlamps WESTFALISCHE METALL INDUSTRIE KG HUECK & CO 26 Aug 1970 [18 Sept 1969 10 April 1970] 41146/70 Heading F4R The beam from a vehicle headlamp is tilted according to the attitude of the vehicle by an assembly which comprises a sprung member attached to the parts of the lamp to be deflected, this sprung member being biased towards and into engagement with an abutment member attached to the vehicle body and responsive to the tilt control, there being no fixed connection between the abutment member and the sprung member thus allowing the easy removal of the deflectable lamp parts for servicing. The sprung member comprises two telescoped members 6, 17, which are biased apart by a compression spring, one member 17 being fixed to the lamp mounting and the other member 6 being attached to the deflectable lamp parts 1, 14, via arms 12, 13 and forced by the spring against a lever 8 which is moved in accordance with the tilt controls via Bowden cable 7. The lever 8 is itself controlled by a hairpin spring 10 forcing it against member 6. In a second embodiment, Fig. 3, not shown, the sprung member comprises a lever, one end of which is attached to the deflectable lamp parts and the other end biased into engagement with the member responsive to the tilt controls by means of a spring between the lever and the lamp mounting, the fulcrum of this lever being provided by a threaded member on an adjuster screw secured to the vehicle body. In a modification the whole lamp is tilted.
