Motorcycle headlight tilt control

In combination with motorcycle headlight structure and wind deflecting fairing,

• (a) support means supporting the headlight structure to the fairing so that the headlight is tiltable to tilt the headlight forward beam up and down, said structure including a lamp casing,
• (b) a manual control on the fairing, and
• (c) other means connected with the headlight structure and the manual control to controllably tilt the headlight in response to manual operation of said control,
• (d) there being a spring acting to transmit force biasing said headlight structure in a tilt direction,
• (e) said other means including interconnection structure including first and second parts that are interconnected so that rotation of the manual control displaces said parts to tilt the headlight as aforesaid,
• (f) the fairing including a re-entrant portion receiving the headlight structure, and a shelf spaced above the level of said re-entrant portion, said manual control located above said shelf, there being openings in the shelf and re-entrant portion of the fairing to receive said interconnection structure,
• (g) said other means including multi-legged brackets integral with the casing and supporting said first part to swivel about a lateral axis as the headlight is tilted, there being trunnion means on said first part and received in at least one bracket carried opening, the trunnion means having an edge to frictionally engage a bore defining said opening in response to force exertion by the spring, thereby to hold the casing in selected tilt position.
