Abstract
An adjustable fixing element, particularly for headlights of motor vehicles, has a setscrew on which a first screw element and a second screw element are arranged with locating surfaces which face each other. In order to create an adjustable fixing device which can be adjusted higher from the side of the plate facing away from the object to be fixed or from another holder, it is proposed to provide a handling aid on the first screw element which projects beyond its locating surface. The second screw element exhibits a corresponding recess in its locating surface for receiving the handling aid of the first screw element.
Claims13
Adjustable fixing element with a setscrew on which a first screw element and a second screw element are arranged with opposing locating surfaces which face each other,
- wherein the first screw element is provided with a handling aid which projects beyond said opposing locating surfaces, and
- wherein the second screw element exhibits a corresponding recess adjacent said opposing locating surfaces for acceptance of the handling aid and the second screw element comprises a pot-shaped base element, which exhibits the recess and with which a nut is connected in rotatable fashion.
Adjustable fixing element with a setscrew on which a first screw element and a second screw element are arranged with opposing locating surfaces which face each other,
- wherein the first screw element is provided with a handling aid which projects beyond said opposing locating surfaces and wherein the first screw element comprises a disk-shaped base element, with which a nut is connected as the handling aid, and
- wherein the second screw element exhibits a corresponding recess adjacent said opposing locating surfaces for acceptance of the handling aid and the second screw element comprises a pot-shaped base element, which exhibits the recess and with which a nut is connected in rotatable fashion.
A vehicle headlight adjusting assembly operable to adjust relative positions of a fixed vehicle body part and a headlight bearing part, comprising:
- a setscrew;
- first and second screw elements threadedly carried on the setscrew and including respective locating surfaces facing each other and operable to clamp one of the fixed vehicle body part and headlight bearing part therebetween,
- wherein the first screw element is provided with a handling aid which projects beyond said locating surfaces, and
- wherein the second screw element exhibits a corresponding recess adjacent said locating surfaces for acceptance of the handling aid and the second screw element comprises a pot-shaped base element, which exhibits the recess and with which a nut is connected in rotatable fashion.
An adjustable fixing element, comprising:
- a setscrew;
- a first screw element having a locating surface disposed on said setscrew;
- a second screw element having a locating surface disposed on said setscrew, wherein said first screw element locating surface opposes said second screw element locating surface;
- said first screw element including a disk-shaped base element and a first nut that extends beyond said first screw element locating surface;
- said second screw element including on said second screw element locating surface a pot-shaped base element defining a cavity therein, said first nut received within said cavity;
- and
- a second nut having a collar disposed on said setscrew, wherein said collar is received through an aperture defined by said pot-shaped base element and is connected to said pot-shaped base element in an axial direction.
