ABSTRACT:
An aimable vehicle headlamp is disclosed which has a lamp unit rigidly held by a mounting ring which is of rectangular, horizontally elongated shape as seen in a front view and which is to be mounted to a vehicle for rotary motion in every direction within limits. A helical tension spring is coupled to the mounting ring at a point adjacent one corner thereof for biasing the same toward the vehicle. A horizontal aiming screw extends between a first lug on one shorter side, away from the corner, of the mounting ring and the vehicle. A vertical aiming screw extends between a second lug on one longer side, also away from the corner, of the mounting ring and the vehicle. The second lug projects from the one longer side of the mounting ring a greater extent than does the first lug from the one shorter side of the mounting ring, so that approximately equal forces are required for turning the horizontal and vertical aiming screws.
