  • Patent number: 10752160
    Abstract: An adjusting device (1) for adjusting a position of a headlight, comprising: a holding element (2) for holding the adjusting device (1) at an adjusting screw (10) and a transmission element (3) for changing the position of the headlight depending on the position of the holding element (2) at the adjusting screw (10), wherein the holding element (2) comprises at least two parts (2a, 2b) which are movable relative to one another and which at least partially enclose the cross-sectional area of the adjusting screw (10), and a moving means (4) is arranged at at least one of the at least two parts (2a, 2b), the moving means (4) can be moved such that the at least two parts (2a, 2b) move away from one another in order to arrange the holding element (2) of the adjusting device (1) at the adjusting screw (10), and such that the at least two parts (2a, 2b) move towards one another in order for the at least two parts (2a, 2b) of the holding element (2) to hold the adjusting device (1) at the adjusting screw (10), as wel

  • Publication number: 20100254151
    Abstract: Headlight fixture for motor vehicles having an adjustment device includes a ball joint having a spherical head for selective headlight adjustment and a spherical seat held in a wall which seat is provided for inserting the spherical head with expandable slots. The spherical seat includes, at the one hand, a diameter which fits into a through hole in the wall and, on the other hand, is provided with two juxtaposed protrusions which fit into corresponding recesses at the through hole and seat themselves behind the wall upon rotation of the inserted spherical seat and, thereby, avoid the removal of the spherical seat from the wall.

  • Patent number: 5566195
    Abstract: The invention is directed to an intracavity Raman laser with a collimated beam path in the Raman medium 10. The intracavity Raman laser includes a single-mode Stokes resonator, a mode stop 13, a telescope 3 for adapting the laser rod 20, a single mode also for the pump laser and a deflecting mirror system 4 for a more compact arrangement. The mode volumes of the pump laser and the Stokes resonator are matched.

  • Patent number: 5291270
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and arrangement for detecting edges and bores on a workpiece with an optical probe head. The optical probe head is guided with constant beam power over the workpiece surface for detecting the edges and bores. In addition to the distance signal of the probe head, the intensity of the radiation backscattered from the workpiece is determined and stored. With the intensity values simultaneously stored with the coordinates of the workpiece surface in the region of the edges and bores, the coordinates of the edges and bores are determined from abrupt changes of the trace of the intensity.
