Abstract
A vehicular lamp including a reflector, a member for tiltably supporting the reflector, and an aiming screw for driving the reflector to tilt by rotating. The aiming screw serves as a shaft member linking to the reflector supporting member by a so-called rotation pair, while linking to the reflector by a so-called screw pair. The reflector is formed with an aiming screw stopper which comes into abutment against a tip end part of the aiming screw when the reflector tilts up to a predetermined angle position thereby to inhibit the reflector to tilt beyond the predetermined angle.
Claims20
A vehicular lamp having an aiming mechanism, comprising:
- a reflector;
- a member for tiltably supporting said reflector;
- an aiming screw for driving said reflector to tilt by rotating, said aiming screw having a tip end and a predetermined length, said screw linking to said reflector supporting member by a rotation pair while linking to said reflector by a screw pair;
- and an aiming screw stopper which comes into abutment against the tip end part of said aiming screw when said reflector tilts for up to a predetermined angle position.
A vehicular lamp having an aiming mechanism, comprising:
- a stationary member secured to a vehicular body;
- a reflector tiltably supported with respect to the stationary member;
- an aiming screw having a tip end and a driving end and being rotatably supported by said stationary member, said aiming screw threadably engaging with said reflector;
- and
- an aiming screw stopper which comes into abutment against said aiming screw tip end when said reflector tilts for a predetermined angle position.
A vehicular lamp having an aiming mechanism, comprising:
- a stationary member secured to a vehicular body;
- a reflector tiltably supported with respect to the stationary member;
- an aiming screw having a tip end and being rotatably supported by said stationary member, said aiming screw threadably engaging with said reflector;
- and an aiming screw stopper which comes into abutment against said aiming screw tip end when said reflector tilts for a predetermined angle position
- wherein said reflector comprises:
- a reflective surface forming part;
- a socket base part for mounting a lamp bulb;
- a shade mounting part formed at a predetermined orientation with respect to said socket base part for securing a shade to said reflector using a screw;
- an aiming bracket part formed integrally with said reflector at a position separated from said reflective surface forming part, said aiming bracket part extending rearward for a predetermined dimension from said reflective surface forming part;
- and a rectangular hole disposed on a rear end wall of said aiming bracket part.
