Headlight for car to deliver e.g. dipped beam, has spiral springs to return optical module to initial position, in which optical axis of lens is parallel to longitudinal axis of vehicle, when effect of centrifugal force is stopped

摘要

The headlight has an elliptical optical module (12) with a pivot (18) arranged in front of center of gravity (G) of the module in a plane containing an optical axis (X) of a converging lens (17) such that the module is turned with respect to a fixed housing (11) around the pivot under effect of centrifugal force created by displacement of a motor vehicle in a bend. Lateral spiral springs (20, 21) return the module to an initial position, in which the optical axis of the lens is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle, when the effect of force is stopped.
