ABSTRACT:
A mounting apparatus for a cycle headlamp, particularly for a bicycle headlamp, features a mounting bracket (13) which can clamp onto a horizontally disposed strut of the cycle frame or of a cycle accessory, such as a baggage carrier.
The cycle headlamp has a reflector housing (9) which is rotatably coupled to the upper end of the mounting bracket (13). The lower end (14) of the mounting bracket is bifurcated into upper (15) and lower (16) legs or jaws, which define a bight or maw (18) having an interior clamping surface (17) which is preferably half-cylindrical but may also be polygonal. A further clamping element (24, 25) is supported by the jaws (15, 16) and presses the strut (7) between itself and the clamping surface (17). This mounting is very secure and resists twisting torques. Preferably, the clamping element includes a frusto-conical nut (25) which rides in a smooth bore (22) in one jaw (15) and is threaded onto a countersunk screw (24) mounted in a correspondingly shaped bore (23) in the other jaw (16).
