ABSTRACT:
An adjustable indicator assembly for indicating a position of a reflector (14) in a vehicle lamp (10) includes an adjustable indicator follower (42) for moving axially along a rotatable threaded shaft (18). The adjustable indicator follower defines a laterally-opening mouth for receiving multiple, intertwined, male indicator threads (40) of the threaded shaft. The adjustable indicator follower can be moved laterally to bring a female follower thread, in the laterally-opening mouth, into and out of engagement with the male indicator threads of the threaded shaft. The adjustable indicator follower rides in a stationary track (44) which allows this axial and lateral motion of the adjustable indicator follower. Hand grips (56a and b) allow an operator to move, by hand, the adjustable indicator follower. The adjustable indicator follower has spring arms (48a and b) for engaging opposite sides of a guide rib (76) and a rear guide surface (74).
