ABSTRACT:
A novel sealing device is used to seal an adjustor mechanism which is used to adjust the position of a movable headlamp component housed within a sealed stationary component in a headlamp arrangement. The stationary component has an opening through a rear wall for insertion of the adjustor mechanism therethrough. The adjustor mechanism includes a housing connected to the stationary component and an adjusting screw member. A shank of the adjusting screw member extends from the housing and extends through the opening in the stationary component wall and into the interior of the stationary component. The novel sealing device of the present invention includes a flexible, elastomeric shroud member having a body portion; a forward sealing structure for sealedly attaching the body portion to the shank of the adjusting screw member; and a rearward sealing structure for sealedly attaching the body portion to the opening in the stationary component. The body portion encircles a portion of the screw shank which is in the interior of the stationary headlamp component. The flexible shroud member substantially prevents the entrance of contaminants into the interior of the stationary component through the adjustor mechanism and through the opening in the stationary component wall.
