20090161380 | OPTICAL AXIS ADJUSTING APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE LIGHT - An optical axis adjusting apparatus for use in a vehicle light is disclosed, which can reduce the load that an aiming screw and a nut portion should bear. The optical axis adjusting apparatus can include a ball joint via which the lamp housing and the reflector are connected, an aiming screw configured to allow the reflector to rotate with respect to the lamp housing around the ball joint, the aiming screw having a root portion and a tip portion with the root portion being supported by the lamp housing so as to be freely turned. A nut portion can be provided on the reflector and configured to be screwed onto the aiming screw. A support member can be configured to support the tip portion of the aiming screw positioned opposite to the root portion so that the tip portion can be rotated. After the nut portion is screwed onto the aiming screw and the support member is fit onto the tip portion of the aiming screw, the support member is attached to the lamp housing. | 06-25-2009 |
20110058383 | Automobile Headlamp Adjuster - An adjusting apparatus for an automobile headlight or similarly situated work piece comprising a housing with a first opening and a second opening, a thread-less drive shaft extending through said top opening and having one end having a drive shaft connector connected via a first stop bolt to a first end of a pivot arm and the second end of said drive shaft for connection with said automobile headlight, a threaded input shaft extending through said second opening engaging an input shaft mounting bracket with a threaded portion of said threaded input shaft wherein said input shaft mounting bracket is further connected via a second stop bolt to a second end of said pivot arm, wherein said pivot arm is secured to said housing via a central pivot bolt, wherein a rotational adjustment of said input shaft will alter the position of said input shaft mounting bracket thereby alerting the position of said second end of said pivot arm thereby altering the position of said first end of said pivot arm thereby causing said drive shaft to move forward or backward, wherein said input shaft mounting bracket engages said threaded portion of said input shaft as to prevent undesired movement of said drive shaft. | 03-10-2011 |
