Device for adjusting a supporting frame of a headlight
A device for adjusting a supporting frame of a headlight of a motor vehicle, comprising a first coupling element, a second coupling element, and a guide element, wherein the second coupling element is pivotable relative to the first coupling element, wherein the first coupling element has a receiving region for a spherical segment-shaped region of the second coupling element, wherein the region is secured in a positive manner in the receiving region, wherein the region is secured to the supporting frame, wherein the first coupling element is guided in the guide element so as to be displaceable in at least one first direction.
Lighting apparatus
A lighting apparatus includes: a light source; a sealed housing accommodating the light source therein; and an aiming screw rotatably supported in a through-hole which extends through the housing. Therefore, an optical axis of light emitted from the light source can be adjusted by rotating the aiming screw. A breathing passage communicating inside and outside of the housing with each other is provided inside the aiming screw, so that it is unnecessary to separately provide a breathing passage, thereby enabling decrease in the number of parts, and simplification of the structure. Accordingly, breathing of the housing of the lighting apparatus is achieved using a simple and compact structure.
Pivoting mounting of a lighting module for motor vehicles
The present invention concerns a lighting and/or signalling device including at least one lighting and/or signalling module. The module including at least one light source, a heatsink thermally coupled to the light source or sources to cool it or them, and optical means adapted to deflect the light rays from the light source or sources to form a light beam along an optical axis of the module. The module is pivotably mounted on a support of the device via its heatsink.
Rotation center decoupling type aiming lamp and vehicle including the aiming lamp
A rotation center decoupling type aiming lamp applied to a vehicle includes an aiming device in which an aiming axis spaced apart from an aiming point reference line of an aiming point axis at a distance of an aiming adjustment height is operated as a rotation center of the reflector, and an aiming angle is changed through an aiming point axis to which the reflector is attached by a reflector bracket, such that the rotation center of the reflector adjusting a light radiation direction may be formed at a position above or ahead of the aiming point reference line, thereby reducing an occupation space of the aiming device and securing stability of the aiming driving, and particularly, a sufficient rear shock absorption space may also be secured in the aiming lamp, thereby securing structural robustness while satisfying low-speed collision regulations.

DUAL LIGHT PATH FORMING TYPE PROJECTION OPTICAL SYSTEM AND HEAD LAMP AND VEHICLE TO WHICH THE SAME OPTICAL SYSTEM IS APPLIED
A dual light path forming type projection optical system may include a reflector allowing light generated from a light source to be formed into a lower reflecting light reflected to an upward path directing upward and an upper reflecting light reflected to a downward path directing downward, a prism lens allowing the upper reflecting light to be emitted as a prism low beam in which the downward path is changed into the upward path and allowing the prism low beam to be changed into a prism high beam by changing an incident angle of the upper reflecting light, and an aspheric lens for generating a low beam by allowing the prism low beam to be added to the lower reflecting light and generating a high beam by allowing the prism high beam to be added to the lower reflecting light.
Adjustment device for aiming two oppositely pivoted lamp elements of a motor vehicle
An adjustment device is provided for aiming two oppositely pivoted lamp elements. That device includes a single aim adjuster screw, a first connection connecting the adjuster screw to a first lamp element and a second connection connecting the adjuster screw to a second lamp element. One turns the adjuster screw to simultaneously pivot the first and second lamp elements in opposite directions and thereby aim the two lamp elements in a synchronous manner.
Reflector Unit
Reflector unit (1) comprising a single pieced reflector (2), said reflector (2) being obtained by way of a molding process, and a frame structure (3) for supporting the single pieced reflector (2), wherein the reflector (2) comprises at least two reflecting chambers (2a) for reflecting light from a light source (8), wherein the at least two chambers (2a) are being spaced from another, and wherein the reflector (2) is firmly and essentially non-adjustably connected to the frame structure (3) by at least two connecting means (4), wherein the reflector (2) is non-movable with regard to the frame structure (3) along the portions of the connecting means (4), wherein the frame structure (3) comprises at least one adjusting screw (5a, 5b) being connected with an engaging portion (7a, 7b) of the frame structure (3) and an engaging portion (6a, 6b) of the reflector (2), wherein the engaging portions (6a, 6b, 7a, 7b) are configured to allow rotational movement of the respective adjusting screw (5a, 5b), and wherein rotational movement of the at least one adjusting screw (5a, 5b) translates into linear movement of the respective engaging portions (6a and 7a, 6b and 7b) with respect to one another for adjusting the distance between the respective engaging portions (6a, 6b) of the reflector (2) and the respective engaging portion (7a, 7b) of the frame structure (3) and thus bending the reflector (2) with regard to the firm portions of the connecting means (4).
Supplementary light module for a headlamp of a vehicle
A supplementary light module for a headlamp of a vehicle, and in particular a cornering light module, a turning light module, or a fog light module. Such module can be accommodated in a housing of the headlamp, comprising a lamp and a reflector. The light generated by the lamp can be emitted in a propagation direction. A base body is provided, on which at least the lamp and the reflector are accommodated, and wherein the base body is securely accommodated in the headlamp housing by means of a pivot axle and by means of an adjustment unit for adjusting the supplementary light module about the pivot axle.
