Gearless headlamp adjustor

Abstract

A device for adjusting the position of a headlamp reflector of a headlamp assembly. The device includes a housing and a directing member, such as an adjustor screw, which generally extends from the housing. The directing member has an end which is engageable with the headlamp reflector of the headlamp assembly, and an opposite end which is configured to receive a driver generally coaxial with a longitudinal axis of the directing member. The directing member provides that rotation of the driver about an axis which is generally coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the directing member causes the directing member to translate relative to the housing thereby causing adjustment of the position of the headlamp reflector which is engaged with the first end of the directing member. By providing that the direction member is configured to receive a driver generally coaxial with a longitudinal axis of the directing member, the device need not include gearing in order to transfer rotation at 90 degrees or greater to the directing member. The device can be gearless, provide adjustment input at 90 degrees or greater from the directing member, and therefore can be produced at relatively low cost.
