ABSTRACT:
The headlamp tilting mechanism is provided in a motor vehicle in which a pair of headlamps are tiltable relative to the motor vehicle body. The headlamp tilting mechanism includes a hydro-mechanical transducer which is fed with hydraulic signals corresponding to changes in the attitude of the vehicle body under changing load and acceleration and braking forces. The transducer has an output rod slidable in bushes relative to the body and is connected with a lever which extends substantially parallel to the rod by means of a link which is pivoted at its ends to the lever and rod respectively. One end of the lever is pivoted to the body while the other end is connected through the intermediary of a further link with the respective headlamp. The arrangement described above permits ready tilting movement of the headlamp upon sliding movement of the output rod but does not permit sliding movement of the rod as a result of external pressures applied to the headlamp.
