Abstract: The present invention relates to a joining arrangement having a receiver with a receiving opening and having a ball joint which is spread open into the receiver, wherein the ball joint comprises a joint pin with a joint ball and a joint socket for receiving the joint ball, wherein the joint socket has at least two wings with in each case one internally situated joint surface, wherein the joint surfaces are in contact with the joint ball and enclose the joint ball in sections. According to the invention, the wings have in each case one reboundable resilience section by means of which the respective joint surface presses with a defined force onto the joint ball.

Abstract: An adjusting device for adjusting a light module in a vehicle lighting device. The adjusting device includes an adjusting mechanism into which a rotary motion can be transmitted. The adjusting device also includes a transmission element that can be used to transfer the rotary motion. The adjusting mechanism and the transmission element are connected in a way that transmits torque via a coupling that provides torque overload protection. The adjusting mechanism is embodied with at least two parts and features a first part into which a rotary motion can be transmitted and it features a second part that is embodied as a part of the coupling.

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.

Abstract: An adjustment device for adjusting a position of at least one light module in a housing of a headlight, with a rotary member for at least indirectly transmitting a rotary motion to the at least one light module, wherein the rotary member at least at one point is guided through an opening in the housing and wherein for sealing the housing against the rotary member, an elastic sealing member is provided against an annular surface bordering the opening, which bears against the housing. To reduce the friction between the sealing member and the annular surface, the sealing member comprises a non-elastic annular element which is provided for abutment against the annular surface.

Abstract: A power-driven vehicle having at least one camera and at least one lamp, the camera is provided to photograph at least part of the surrounding area of the power-driven vehicle, the lamp is used to illuminate at least sections of said part of the surrounding area of the power-driven vehicle, and the lamp can be supplied by a power supply medium of the power-driven vehicle with power having a first frequency to generate the light.

Abstract: The invention concerns a headlight for motor vehicles, with a cover plate that covers up the reflector. An essentially U-shaped enclosure made out of sheet metal is positioned in the vicinity of the lamp, which fits into an opening in the vertex of the reflector. The flanks of the enclosure extend above and below but not in contact with the lamp, at least to some extent constituting a screen that screens off sections of the reflector that generate diffused light. The flank below the lamp also functions essentially as a supporting arm for the enclosure. The free terminal section of the supporting arm above the lamp has a third screen. A tongue is punched and bent out of the area of the U-shaped enclosure between the lamp and the cover plate and constitutes the upper supporting arm.
