Snap-fit right angle adjustor mechanism.

摘要

A simplified adjusting mechanism (20) for adjusting the aiming of a headlamp assembly (22) in automobiles and the like includes a gear encircling a bushing (32) and an adjustor screw (30) that is journaled through the bushing (32). The adjustor mechanism (20) is snapped into a stationary component (26) of the headlamp assembly (22) and the aiming of the headlamp is manually adjusted by using a drive tool. The adjustor mechanism (22) has a series of indication lines that allow the user to adjust the aiming of the headlamp assembly (22) back to its desired position if the headlamp assembly (22) becomes misaligned. <IMAGE>
