ABSTRACT:
An adjusting mechanism for a headlamp or the like, comprises a first housing piece and a second housing piece defining first and second orthogonally disposed gear-receiving bores when assembled. The bores intersect at a peripheral location with respect to each other so as to receive respectively a drive gear member and an adjusting gear member disposed with the gear members being engageable at the locations where the bores intersect. The housing pieces receive and guide a drive shaft for engagement with the drive gear and extending outwardly from the housing. The second housing piece receives an adjusting shaft for engagement with the adjusting gear and extending from the housing for engagement with a headlamp or the like, such that by rotation of the drive gear members, rotational movement will be imparted to the adjusting shaft to effect adjustment of a headlamp assembly or the like. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the adjusting mechanism further includes a retainer clip member and cooperating structure on the retainer clip member and on the two housing pieces respectively for maintaining the latter in an assembled condition with the retainer member. The retainer member further includes structure for aligning the adjusting shaft member for engagement with the adjusting gear.
