External shutter assembly for headlights of vehicles to control angle of light beam

A vehicle, comprising:

• a headlight configured to emit a light beam;
• and
• an external shutter assembly mounted to the vehicle to control an angle of the light beam, the external shutter assembly includes
• a pair of transparent structures arranged facing the headlight to enable a passage of the light beam and disposed spaced apart and substantially parallel to each other defining a gap therebetween,
• at least one support rod arranged inside the gap and extending in a vertical direction, the at least one support rod is movably coupled to a first transparent structure of the pair of transparent structures and is arranged to be displaced in the vertical direction,
• at least one base rod fixedly coupled to a second transparent structure of the pair of transparent structures and arranged inside the gap, and
• a plurality of blinds arrayed in the vertical direction inside the gap and arranged spaced apart from each other with a first end of each of the plurality of blinds being pivotally coupled to the at least one base rod and a second end of each of the plurality of blinds being attached to the at least one support rod,
• wherein the plurality of blinds is adapted to pivot between a horizontal position and a slanted position in response to the vertical displacement of the at least one support rod to control an angle of the light beam exiting the external shutter assembly.

• at least one base rod fixedly coupled to a second transparent structure of the pair of transparent structures,
• a plurality of blinds arrayed in the vertical direction and arranged spaced apart from each other with a first end of each of the plurality of blinds being pivotally coupled to the at least one base rod and a second end of each of the plurality of blinds being attached to the at least one support rod to enable the pivoting of the plurality of blinds between a horizontal position and a slanted position, and
• an actuator operatively coupled to the at least one support rod and configured to displace the at least one support rod in the vertical direction to pivot the plurality of blinds to control an angle of the light beam exiting the external shutter assembly.
