Estimating the term…
An adjustable element is part of an apparatus such as an automotive headlight which includes a support, and a security cap prevents undetected interference with the adjustment of that element, guaranteeing its inviolability. The adjustment is effected with a control member rotatable about a geometrical axis transverse to the axis of the support. The control member has an adjusting head accessible from outside the support. The security cap is mounted for movement in translation with respect to the support, parallel to the geometric support axis, and includes snap-fitting means co-operating with a zone of the support, to be engaged in response to this movement. The cap is put into a final snap-fitted position, in which it conceals the adjusting head, by a simple push.
A security cap for preventing undetected interference with the adjustment of the position of an element with respect to a support by means of a control member comprising an adjusting head accessible from outside the support, wherein the cap is arranged to be mounted for movement in translation with respect to the support in a direction parallel to a geometrical axis of the support, and wherein the cap further includes snap-fitting means adapted to cooperate with a zone of said support for engagement of the snap-fitting means in response to said movement in translation, the cap being further adapted so that, by simple pushing action, it can be put into a final snap-fitted position in which it conceals said adjusting head and prevents undetected interference with the adjustment of the control member.
