  • Patent number: 6796692
    Abstract: A vehicle headlamp structure for engagement between a plunger of a solenoid and a shade leg of a movable shade, wherein the solenoid moves the movable shade to vary the light distribution of a lamp fixture. A moveable shade 22 is pivoted between two positions by a solenoid 34 having a longitudinally extending plunger 36. The plunger 36 has a notch (U-shaped recess) 36a formed in its peripheral surface at a position near the tip thereof. A shade leg 22B of the movable shade 22 has an engaging portion 22Ba for engaging with the notch 36a. Since the engaging portion 22Ba abuts on a front end face 36a1 and a rear end face 36a2 of the notch 36a, reciprocating movement if the plunger 36 is converted into pivoting movement of the movable shade 22.
