[Solution] The fixation lamp (1) has a first arm (A1), which supports a light emitter (2) and is supported by a second arm (A2) via a first joint (C1), and is configured so that the first arm (A1) is able to revolve around at least two axes of revolution (E1, E2) by means of the first joint (C1) and said axes of rotation (E1, E2) are not disposed on the same line. Thereby, the range in which the light emitter (2) can be moved can be increased compared to conventional devices and the light emitter can be moved to an arbitrary position in an arbitrary direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2011Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: Kowa Company, Ltd.Inventor: Takuya Hara

Patent number: 9010973Abstract: A motor vehicle headlight positioning device consisting of a holder base, a headlight support, a step motor, a movable member and a swivel arm is disclosed. The headlight support is pivotally mounted in the holder base to hold a motor vehicle headlight. By means of the rotation of an output screw of the step motor to move the movable member linearly, the headlight support is rotatable by the movable member and the swivel arm to adjust the projecting direction of the motor vehicle headlight. As the output screw is rotated on its own axis and the output screw is supported in a support block of the holder base, the displacement stability of the movable member is enhanced.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2012Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: Tricore CorporationInventor: Ting-Yi Koo
