Operating mechanism for mobile screen in motor vehicle headlamp, uses spring-loaded rod with stops to retain in set position and linear movement of rod to tilt screen

摘要

The screen (14) is tilted about its axis (16) using a linear actuator operating a crank (20) attached to the screen axis. The actuator is supported on the same plate (222) that provides a pivot for the screen, and uses a rod (224) with a spring (227) holding the rod against a stop in the raised position of the screen. The rod is moved clear of the stop to allow it to pull the screen down.
