AN AUTOMOBILE HEADLIGHT WHICH THROWS ITS LIGHT IN THE ADJUSTED DIRECTION

Abstract: An automobile headlight freely adjustable in the upward and downward directions and from side to side, in which a reflex mirror with a lens attached and a cover with pivot suspensions formed in the upper and lower parts and with fixing means with a cover working bar inserted into the outer wall in the rear lower part are fixed by a socket; a cap with a slot and brackets united with a cap working bar formed is axially fixed so as to make a turn upward and downward in the center from both sides (left and right) of the cover; irradiation direction is made adjustable by pivoting the cover within the housing by dint of fixing means together with a steering device; and the effect of safe driving at night is produced by providing the driver with an excellent front-watching ability.

Description: SPECIFICATION TITLE An automobile headlight which throws its light in the adjusted direction TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an automobile head - light the irradiation direction of which is freely ad¬ justed upward, downward and from side to side. BACKGROUND ART in the case of conventional automobile headlights, there have been a headlight composed of a downward headlight for short distance on the left and an upward headlight for long distance on the right, and a headlight with two types of built-in filaments in an electric bulb for use as one headlight designed to throw a light upward and downward. Either of these two conventional automobile head- - lights is fixedly installed in its housing and adjust - able only upward and downward, whether it is adjusted by human power or automatically by sensing the illumination of an automobile coming in the opposite direction in an electronic way. Even when it throws its light on the ground, it is im¬ possible for it to throw its light on the ground on its close front side due to its fixed degrees of irradiation angle. In the case of the present invention,however,it aimes to provide a headlight which can quickly throw a light in the direction to which the automobile turns by adjusting its irradiation angle from side to side and can also throw a light on the ground just thereunder when the au¬ tomobile arrives at the top of a slope by setting its irradiation angle extremely downward. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION T h e present invention is characterized by being pro ¬ vided with a reflex mirror where a lens is fixed in the front an d an electric bulb is fixed in the rear,a means by which to fix a working bar into the outer wall in the rear lower part, a pin which enables a cap, which com- prises a bracket formed to insert into the upper part thereof a slot and both ends of working bar from the center of cover and a pivot suspension formed in the up¬ per and lower parts, to turn upward and downward and by being pivoted so as to enable a headlight to turn from side to side within its housing by dint of a means with a pivot projectingly fixed and a pivot suspension of said cover. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 is a front view showing that the irradiation angle of an automobile headlight is adjusted according to the embodiment of the present inven ion. Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view of Figure 1 . Figure 3 is a ground plan view of Figure -1 . Figure 4 is a vertical sectional view showing that the headlight embodied by the present inven¬ tion is pivoted within its housing. Figure 5 is a vertical sectional view showing that the headlight uses the inner surface of cover as a reflex mirror in another embodiment trans- formed by the present invention BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION When an explanation is given to the newest embodiment of the present invention according to the drawings at- tached hereto, it comes as follows : Figure 1 and Figure 2 are a front view and a vertical sectional view of an automobile headlight the irradia - tion direction of which is adjustable according to an embodiment of the present invention. A terminal(3) is exposed at the rear end of a reflex mirror(2) with a lens(l) inserted into the front side and the base(5) of an electric bulb(4) is united there¬ with and a bolt part(8) which will be combined with a socket(7) with a nut part(6) formed is formed. A cover(9),which is open at its front side and at its rear end, forms confronting pivot suspensions(10) (11)in the upper and lower parts and is interlocked with the steering device of an automobile on the outer wall in the rear lower part and a fixing means(14) provided with a globular groove(13) into which an end-globular (12' ) cover working bar(12) will be inserted from the direc ¬ tion of axis is formed. The said reflex mirror(2) and a cover(9) will be fix¬ ed under the condition that they are inserted into the inside of a socket(7), as shown in Figure 2. Figure 3 is a ground plan according to an embodiment of the present invention,which shows that it is axially fixed by pins(36) (37) so as to enable a cap(15) to make a turn upward and downward in the cover(9). A cap(15) forms in the upper center a slot(16) with its rear side open and brackets(18) (19) provided with a hole(17) at both sides of an open slot(16).In the slot (16), a pivot(20) located in the upper part out of piv ¬ ots(20(21) which are pivoted with pivot suspensions(10) (11) formed in the upper and lower parts of a said cover <9) will be placed and, in the hole(17) of said bracket -s(18)(19), both ends(23)(24) of a cap working bar(22 ) which will be connected to such a drive as a drive ca¬ ble or a link will be inserted. And a cap(15) is axially fixed in the center from both sides of a cover(9) by pins(36)(37) so as to make a turn. Figure 4 is a vertical sectional view showing that a headlight embodied by the present invention is pivoted within the housing. It shows structure in which fixing means(31)(32) with pivots(20) (21) fixed projectingly on the inner walls(29) (30) in the upper and lower parts of a housing(28) to the front side of which a lens(25)will be fixed by dint of detachable means(26) (27) are com- bined by a bolt(33) and a nut(34) and a cover(9) with pivot suspensions(10) (11) formed respectively in the upper and lower parts thereof is pivoted so as to move from side to side within the housing(28) by means of a cover working bar(12). Figure 5 is another embodiment transformed by the pre¬ sent invention. It is a vertical sectional view showing that a headlight which uses the inner surface of a cov¬ er as a reflex mirror is pivoted within the housing. It illustrates that a headlight provided with structure where a reflex layer is formed on the inner surface of a cover(9) and a separate reflex mirror is left out by fixing a lense(35) to the open front side of a cover(9), is furnished within the housing(28). As the present invention is constituted with a cap(15) fixed axially in the center from both sides( left and right) of a cover(9) by pins(36) (37) so as to make a turn upward and downward as shown in Figure 2 and Fig¬ ure 3, the driver can freely adjust the irradiation di¬ rection of headlight upward and downward by the upward and downward operation of a cap(15) effected by means of a cap working bar(22) connected to its drive like a drive cable or a link interlocked with an unillustrated steering device installed undeneath his seat. In addition, as it possesses not only a function de- signed to adjust the irradiation in the upward and down -ward directions but also a cover(9) pivoted within the housing(28) by pivot suspensions(10) (11) , and pivots(20) (21) of fixing means(31) (32) , it is linked with a steer -ing device operated by a steering wheel and it can ad- just the irradiation of headlight in the left or right direction to which the automobile turns by means of a cover working bar(12) inserted axially into the fixing means(14) formed on the outer wall in the rear lower part of a cover(9). INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The automobile headlight designed to adjust its irra¬ diation direction by the present invention is able to watch the front in the direction to which the driver • wants to make a turn by adjusting its irradiation di- rection together with a steering device while running In particular, it has the effect of safely driving the automobile at night by providing the driver with a func -tion able to previously watch his front directly there -under through downward adjustment of its irradiation direction when he arrives at the top of a slope on which he is running.
