Motor car headlamp with main and secondary reflectors - has secondary reflector with lamp on swivel mount, permitting offset position w.r.t. main reflector

摘要

The secondary reflector is mounted in the lower region of the main reflector and is positioned partly in front of the main reflector wall. The secondary reflectoraxis is aligned parallel to that of the main reflector, both reflectors having separate light sources. The secondary reflector (11) is pivotally mounted, together with its light source (14), thus having at least one swivel position, in addition to the basic position axis-parallel with the main reflector (10). The swivel position is such that the secondary reflector is located outside the main reflector and its front side (18). Pref. in the basic position the secondary reflector protrudes partly through the wall (12) of the main reflector behind its front side in such manner that the front sides (18,19) of both reflectors are flush. In this basic position, the secondary reflector upper boundary edge (20) may lie near the main reflector axis.
