Estimating the term…
An adjustable element is part of an apparatus such as an automotive headlight which includes a support, and a security cap prevents undetected interference with the adjustment of that element, guaranteeing its inviolability. The adjustment is effected with a control member rotatable about a geometrical axis transverse to the axis of the support. The control member has an adjusting head accessible from outside the support. The security cap is mounted for movement in translation with respect to the support, parallel to the geometric support axis, and includes snap-fitting means co-operating with a zone of the support, to be engaged in response to this movement. The cap is put into a final snap-fitted position, in which it conceals the adjusting head, by a simple push.
A security cap for preventing undetected interference with the adjustment of the position of an element with respect to a support, where such adjustment is effected with the aid of a control member mounted for rotation about a geometric axis transverse to that of the support, the said control member comprising an adjusting head which is accessible from outside the support, wherein the cap is arranged to be mounted for movement in translation with respect to the support in a direction parallel to the geometrical axis of the support, and wherein the cap further includes snap-fitting means adapted to cooperate with a zone of the said support for engagement of the snap-fitting means in response to said movement in translation, the cap being further adapted so that, by simple pushing action, it can be put into a final snap-fitted position in which it conceals the said adjusting head.
