Abstract: An adjustable indicator assembly for indicating a position of a reflector (14) in a vehicle lamp (10) includes an adjustable indicator follower (42) for moving axially along a rotatable threaded shaft (18). The adjustable indicator follower defines a laterally-opening mouth for receiving multiple, intertwined, male indicator threads (40) of the threaded shaft. The adjustable indicator follower can be moved laterally to bring a female follower thread, in the laterally-opening mouth, into and out of engagement with the male indicator threads of the threaded shaft. The adjustable indicator follower rides in a stationary track (44) which allows this axial and lateral motion of the adjustable indicator follower. Hand grips (56a and b) allow an operator to move, by hand, the adjustable indicator follower. The adjustable indicator follower has spring arms (48a and b) for engaging opposite sides of a guide rib (76) and a rear guide surface (74).

Abstract: An adjusting apparatus for one or more headlight reflectors (1) has first and second miter gear mechanisms (4, 12), each of which includes a toothed-gear pair. The reflector can be pivoted about an axis by a rotation device, or knob, on the exterior of the housing. The two miter gear mechanisms are coupled by means of a rigid shaft (13) which is positioned in a bearing box (9) formed in a housing rearward wall (7). The shaft carries at each of its free ends a shaft toothed-gear of the respective first and second miter gear mechanisms and is held radially in the bearing box by means of girding elements of the toothed-gears (5, 15) whose teeth engage with the teeth of the shaft toothed-gears.
