ABSTRACT:
A retractable searchlight for vehicles of the type which is movable from a working position to a retracted position includes at least one searchlight supported by a supporting device mounted upon a shaft which is rotatably driven by a motor. The supporting device is formed of at least two members, a first of which is secured to the shaft for movement therewith and a second of which is secured to the searchlight and is mounted so as to be displaceable relative to the shaft. Between the first and second members a disengagement means is located for enabling the second member connected to the searchlight to be displaced with the first member between the working a retracted positions during normal operation and for disengaging the first member from the second member when the searchlight encounters a resistance so that continued movement of the searchlight is interrupted thereby precluding injury to the arrangement or persons standing nearby.
