ABSTRACT:
A mount for a headlight reflector includes three pivot-point mechanisms, at least one of which comprises a spherical head at an end of a pivot-mechanism pin mounted in an elongated socket formed on a receiver rigidly attached to the reflector. The axis of elongation of the pivot-mechanism pin is approximately parallel to an optical axis of the headlight and an axis of elongation of the socket is perpendicular thereto, with one end of the socket being open to allow ingress and egress of the spherical head. A side of an elongated shell forming the socket has a slit therein facing a back wall of a headlight housing through which the pivot-mechanism pin passes. In one embodiment of the invention, an outer end of the pivot-mechanism pin is coupled to an adjusting bolt which is parallel to the pivot-mechanism pin by means of a moveable bridge. In another embodiment, a power automatic light-distance adjusting mechanism can be mounted on the bridge for providing additional longitudinal movement to the pivot-mechanism pin.
