Abstract
An aiming mechanism 10 includes a headlight 3, a supporter 4 that supports the headlight 3 on a vehicle body 1 such that the headlight 3 is rotatable about a predetermined rotation axis X, and an adjuster 6 that adjusts the rotation angle of the headlight 3 about the rotation axis X. The adjuster 6 is located accessible from above the vehicle body 1.
Claims7
An off-road vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle body;
- and
- a headlight aiming mechanism, wherein
- the headlight aiming mechanism comprises:
- a headlight;
- a supporter that supports the headlight on the vehicle body such that the headlight is rotatable about a predetermined rotation axis;
- and
- an adjuster that adjusts a rotation angle of the headlight about the rotation axis,
- the adjuster is located accessible from above the vehicle body and changes a substantially up-down distance of a mover at a position eccentric from the rotation axis at the headlight relative to a reference at the vehicle body.

An off-road vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle body;
- and
- a headlight aiming mechanism, wherein
- the headlight aiming mechanism comprises:
- a headlight;
- a supporter that supports the headlight on the vehicle body such that the headlight is rotatable about a predetermined rotation axis;
- and
- an adjuster that adjusts a rotation angle of the headlight about the rotation axis,
- the adjuster includes a screwing adjuster that changes a distance of a mover at a position eccentric from the rotation axis at the headlight relative to a reference at the vehicle body and an elastic member that biases the mover in a direction of causing the mover to approach the reference or a direction of separating the mover from the reference, and
- the screwing adjuster is located accessible from above the vehicle body and limits displacement of the mover by elastic force of the elastic member to adjust the distance of the mover relative to the reference.
