  • Patent number: 6231222
    Abstract: A headlight for a vehicle has a holder, at least one reflector displaceably supported on the holder, an adjusting device for displacing the reflector and including an adjusting screw having a thread and a displaceably guided transmission element which is articulately connected with the reflector and with the adjusting screw so that during turning of the adjusting screw the transmission element is displaced in a longitudinal direction to displace reflector. The transmission element disengages from the thread of the adjusting screw in the longitudinal direction after the transmission element has reached a predetermined maximum longitudinal displacement, but after a smaller displacement it abutts against at least one abutment, so that during a further movement of the transmission element until the transmission element disengages from the thread of the adjusting screw, a return force is produced which loads the transmission element in an opposite longitudinal displacement direction.

  • Patent number: 4893218
    Abstract: A reflector, made from a thermosetting plastic, has three tightening faces on its crown neck that act as a catch, into which three protrusions, such as pawls, dig in a thread-like manner with teeth of the ring. As a result, the ring secures an incandescent bulb in the reflector. By means of this unilaterally acting friction catch, lateral slides, in particular, become unnecessary on an injection holder of the reflector, which is a considerable advantage in the processing of thermosetting plastics.
