  • Patent number: 5769323
    Abstract: A headlamp cleaning arrangement for a motor vehicle has a telescopically extendable nozzle which extends through an opening in the outer wall of the motor vehicle in an area near the headlamp. The opening in the outer wall has a cover which is pivotably mounted near a lower rim of the opening in the outer wall and is held in a closed position by a spring arrangement. When the nozzle arrangement is extending into its operative position to clean the headlamp, the nozzle arrangement pushes the cover, causing it to pivot open.

  • Patent number: 5607220
    Abstract: A headlight has a housing and a reflector arranged in the housing adjustably by an adjusting screw. An indicating device controls the setting of the reflector and has a movable indicating part which follows turning of the adjusting screw and a substantially stationary indicating part arranged outside of the housing. The substantially stationary indicating part is arranged on a guide so that it is difficult to displace. In other words, the substantially stationary indicating part can be displaced to assume a base setting and in its set position is fixed. However, during travels of the vehicle, it no longer displaces on the guide under the action of vibrations and other influences. The ability of the substantially stationary indicating part to be difficult to displace can be provided for example by arranging of the substantially stationary indicating part on the guide with a slight press fit.
