ABSTRACT:
A mounting assembly is provided for mounting a headlamp assembly or the like relative to an automobile frame member or the like so as to permit generally vertical and horizontal adjustment of the headlamp assembly relative to the frame member for aiming of the headlamp beam. The frame member has an elongate slot for slidably receiving the mounting assembly and the headlamp assembly defines at least one mounting aperture for coupling to the mounting assembly. The mounting assembly comprises a slot-engaging member for slidably engaging the elongate slot of the frame member and comprising a pair of spaced a part, parallel and generally horizontal surface portions joined by a transverse support portion and sized to slidably interfit with the slot, and a headlamp engaging member comprising an elongate member pivotally mounted to the slot-engaging member and having mounting structure thereon for mounting at least one outer end portion thereof to the headlamp assembly. A pivotal coupling structure joins the slot-engaging member and the headlamp engaging member for permitting a predetermined degree of pivotal motion of the headlamp engaging member relative to the slot-engaging member about at least one of generally vertical and horizontal axes, respectively, so as to permit adjustment of the headlamp assembly for aiming of a headlamp beam relative to at least one of the generally vertical and horizontal axis.
