  • Patent number: 10960809
    Abstract: An adjustment unit for the mechanical adjustment of the beam level of at least one light unit of a headlight for a vehicle, having at least one shaft and a securing component, wherein the shaft is rotatable arranged at a housing of the headlight, wherein the shaft comprises or is coupled with a screw member, by means of which a rotary motion of the shaft can be caused in a shaft axis of the shaft in order to adjust the beam level of the at least one light unit, and wherein the securing component is provided, which prevents the screw member from an unwanted screwing. According to the invention, the securing component is configured to interact with the screw member, when the securing component is in a mounted state in which it is directly or indirectly attached to the housing.

  • Patent number: 10451241
    Abstract: A light module for a lighting device of a vehicle, in particular for a headlamp, having a light source and an optical element which is accommodated on a support body, and wherein an adjuster is provided for adjusting the optical element to the light source in order to adjust a radiation position of the light source relative to the optical element. The adjuster has a wedge element, which is arranged movably between the support body and the optical element so that when the wedge element is shifted an adjustment of the optical element to the light source can be produced at least in a vertical direction.
