| Details |
Inventors: Philippe, Eric; Berton, Jacques;
Assignee: Cibie Projecteurs (FR)
Primary Examiner: Wolfe; Willis R.
Assistant Examiner: Okonsky; David A.
Attorney, Agent or Firm:
The invention relates to an adjustable fixing device comprising two elements (22,34) able to be displaced the one with respect to another according to a sliding relationship during an adjustment operation for the headlight, one (22) of the said elements being fixed to the headlight and the other (34) being able to be fixed on the body (56) of the automobile by a screw (52), the device further comprising a resilient locking member (46) able to co-operate with the second element and with the screw, and comprising at least one gripping edge (46a), the tightening of the said screw initially causing the abutment of the second element against the body of the automobile then, using this abutment, the resilient deformation of the said member (46) and the bringing into engagement of the gripping edge(s) (46a) with the first element (22) for assuring the clamping of the two elements in their relative position corresponding to the desired adjustment. The resilient member is for example a curved leaf spring or a resilient washer. Application to the fixing of a headlight of an automobile with adjustment of the alignment of its closure glass with respect to the body. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
An adjustable fixing device for a headlight of an automobile or the like, said fixing device comprising: two elements able to be displaced, one with respect to the other, according to a sliding relation during an adjustment operation of the headlight, one of said elements being fixed to said headlight and a second element being adapted to be fixed on a body of said automobile; a screw for fixing said other element to said body; a resilient locking member able to cooperate with said second element and with said screw; said resilient locking member comprising at least one gripping edge, tightening of said screw causing initially abutment of said second element against said body of said automobile then, using this abutment, resilient deformation of said resilient locking member and engagement of said at least one gripping edge with said first element for assuring clamping of said two elements in their relative position corresponding to a desired adjustment.
2.
A device according to claim 1, wherein said resilient member has the form of a leaf spring of which the non-deformed shape is curved and which extends transversely to the direction of sliding between said two elements.
3.
A device according to claim 2, wherein said resilient locking member has a pair of gripping edges, said gripping edges are two rounded opposed edges of said leaf.
4.
A device according to claim 3, wherein said second element comprises a sleeve traversed by said screw and having at an end situated opposite a head of said screw an annular abutment surface, resilient deformation of said locking member in the form of a leaf spring consisting of flattening of said leaf causing an increase of the distance between its two said gripping edges.
5.
A device according to claim 1, wherein engagement of said at least one gripping edge with said first element is effected by plastic deformation or of said resilient locking member.
6.
A device according to claim 1, wherein engagement of said gripping edge at least one with said first element is effected with engagement of each of said gripping edges in one of a series of parallel grooves provided in said first element
