MOUNTING OF SEALED BEAM HEADLAMPS

摘要

An automobile adjustable headlamp mounting having a one-piece plastic housing comprising a relatively thin annular spherical wall with a frusto-spherical inner surface and a frusto-spherical outer surface for engaging an opening in a mounting bracket. A peripheral rim on the annular wall has radially inwardly extending beads for engaging the flange of a sealed beam headlamp. The housing has integral spring tabs on the wall radially inwardly of the rim for engaging the flange of the headlamp to hold the latter in the housing between the bead and the spring tabs. Circumferentially positioned integral mounting brackets are located on the the annular wall. A novel spring metal clip is provided along the peripheral rim and cooperates with the beads on the flange of the housing to removably hold the headlamp in position. In addition, brackets on the housing are utilized to mount the housing on a mounting bracket. One of the mounting walls has a screw associated therewith which is held in position by a novel spring clip.
