Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, there is a problem with using separate adjustment mechanisms for adjusting the position of the high beam and low beam mirrors
Positioning the high beam and low beam mirrors precisely relative to each other is difficult because each mirror must be adjusted independently
Also, since many motor vehicles have two sets of headlight assemblies, a total of four reflectors must be independently adjusted
This independent adjustment results in a change in the relative position of the mirrors
[0004] The multiple adjustment mechanisms also add to the cost and complexity of the headlight assembly

Embodiment Construction

[0011] Referring to FIG. 1 , a headlamp assembly of a motor vehicle 11 is shown generally at 10 . The headlamp assembly 10 provides illumination of the road surface immediately in front of the motor vehicle 11 .

[0012] see figure 2 , the headlamp assembly 10 includes a cover 12 . The headlamp assembly 10 also includes a first reflector 14 and a second reflector 16 disposed within the cover 12 . In a preferred embodiment, the first reflector is a high beam reflector 14 and the second reflector is a low beam reflector 16 . The bulbs 15 and 17 are mounted in each of the high beam reflector 14 and the low beam reflector 16 . The high beam reflector 14 and the low beam reflector 16 focus and align the light emitted by the electric lamp.

[0013] The cover 12 is generally concave and is molded to provide mounting surfaces for the light reflectors 14,16. Additionally, the housing 12 is configured such that a light bulb or other suitable light source may be mounted thereon. Th...

Abstract

A headlamp assembly for a motor vehicle, which includes a housing, and first and second reflectors pivotally secured to the housing. A connecting bar extends between the first and second reflectors for simultaneously adjusting the first reflector in response to the pivotally adjustment of the second reflector.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a headlamp assembly for a motor vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to a headlamp assembly that includes a linkage that allows for simultaneous pivotal adjustment of high beam and low beam reflectors. Background technique [0002] Motor vehicle headlamp assemblies typically include high beam and low beam reflectors disposed within a housing for collimating and shaping the light from the headlamp. The headlamp assembly also includes two adjustment systems, one for the high beam reflector and the other for the low beam reflector, for adjusting the position of the high beam and low beam reflectors for alignment. Each adjustment system typically includes a hinge fastened to the cover and an adjustment mechanism for pivoting the mirror about the hinge. [0003] However, there is a problem with using separate adjustment mechanisms when adjusting the positions of the high beam and low beam mirrors. Pre...
