Headlight aiming and leveling device

A headlight aiming and leveling device for attachment to an automotive headlamp to facilitate leveling and aiming of the headlamp beam relative to an automotive vehicle upon which the headlamp is installed, said device comprising:

• level-indicating means including a housing;
• means for mounting at least one, first part of said housing to a given surface of said headlamp, such that said housing is movable for varying the inclination of the housing in such fashion as to permit adjustment of the level indicating means to indicate a level condition;
• adjusting means operatively coupled with said housing at a second part thereof spaced from said part hereof affixed to said headlamp for producing movement of said housing for achieving said indication of a level condition by said level-indicating means while the headlamp is held in a condition wherein the headlamp beam is level;
• and locking means for locking said adjusting means in the position at which said indication of a level condition is achieved;
• whereby, upon installation of said headlamp upon an automotive vehicle, said headlamp may be adjusted until said level-indication means again indicates said level condition, to thereby assure proper leveling and consequent aiming of the headlamp beam;
• wherein said housing has at least two sides formed at an angle such that it substantially defines, in plan, a triangle, said level-indicating means being aligned along a first side thereof, and wherein a further side of the housing is angled relative to the first side to form a reflective surface for permitting viewing of a reflected image of the level-indicating means from a location other than said first side.
