Abstract: The movable reflector of the headlight of a motor vehicle can be orientated by means of an orientation adjustment device located inside the body of the headlight. The orientation of the reflected light beam is controlled with the help of an adjustable graduated scale which is connected to the reflector and which can move with respect to a stationary indicator fixed to the headlight, so as to indicate the changes in orientation of the reflector. The graduated scale is set to zero by means of a manual adjustment carried out by specialized personnel using a special tool, once the reflector has been correctly orientated by means of the adjustment device. The stationary indicator and the graduated scale are located so that they are clearly visible inside the headlight, beneath the transparent cover of a porthole which can be opened in order to set the scale to zero.

Abstract: A vehicular headlamp which includes a lamp housing and a reflector tiltably supported within the lamp housing by an aiming screw and aiming fulcrums. The aiming screw penetrates the lamp housing and is rotatably supported thereby. The front end of the aiming screw engages the reflector while the rear end protrudes from the lamp housing and is secured to a gear. An adjustment shaft is rotatably supported by the lamp housing, a rear end of the adjustment shaft being fixed to a gear engaging with the gear of the aiming screw. The two gears constitute a gear section which is covered with a cover member having an opening which opens downward, thereby preventing foreign matter such as dirt, water or dust from adhering to the gear section and allowing foreign matter to be immediately discharged from the cover member.

Abstract: The optical axis of the reflector is initially adjusted by operating the adjusting screw with the plate member held for a turning of the adjusting screw not to be transmitted to the plate member or with the ring member removed from the lamp housing for the turning of the adjusting screw not to be transmitted to the ring member. Therefore, after completion of the initial adjustment of the reflector optical axis, the index on the lamp housing can be easily put into coincidence with the reference point on the scale on the plate or ring member. Since the adjusting screw is isolated from the plate or ring member during the initial adjustment of the reflector optical axis, the optical axis of the reflector can be easily adjusted only by turning the adjusting screw.
