Abstract

Abstract 1. A motor-vehicle headlight comprising a light-diffusing glass (3) attached to the front of a fixed casing (5), containing an adjustable reflector (6), and characterized by the fact that the transverse clearance (9) between the outer edge (10) of the reflector and the inner edge (11) of the casing, and the inside surfaces (12) of the casing between the front (13) of the casing and the front (14) of the reflector are masked by a converging funnel (15), one end (16) of which is attached to the front peripheral edge of the casing, and the other end (17) of which is free, and flush with the inside surface (18) of the reflector, while leaving enough axial clearance (19) for the front edge of the reflector, so that it can pivot.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 129 words
A motor-vehicle headlight comprising a light-diffusing glass (3) attached to the front of a fixed casing (5), containing an adjustable reflector (6), and characterized by the fact that the transverse clearance (9) between the outer edge (10) of the reflector and the inner edge (11) of the casing, and the inside surfaces (12) of the casing between the front (13) of the casing and the front (14) of the reflector are masked by a converging funnel (15), one end (16) of which is attached to the front peripheral edge of the casing, and the other end (17) of which is free, and flush with the inside surface (18) of the reflector, while leaving enough axial clearance (19) for the front edge of the reflector, so that it can pivot.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 129 words
A motor-vehicle headlight comprising a light-diffusing glass (3) attached to the front of a fixed casing (5), containing an adjustable reflector (6), and characterized by the fact that the transverse clearance (9) between the outer edge (10) of the reflector and the inner edge (11) of the casing, and the inside surfaces (12) of the casing between the front (13) of the casing and the front (14) of the reflector are masked by a converging funnel (15), one end (16) of which is attached to the front peripheral edge of the casing, and the other end (17) of which is free, and flush with the inside surface (18) of the reflector, while leaving enough axial clearance (19) for the front edge of the reflector, so that it can pivot.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 37 words
A headlight as defined in claim 1, wherein the inside surface (20) of the funnel (15) is covered with a layer of material with the same aspect as that covering the inside (18) of the reflector (6).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 27 words
A headlight as defined in claim 1, wherein the funnel (15) is made from a synthetic material, and is moulded in one piece with the casing (5).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 56 words
A headlight as defined in claim 1, wherein the funnel (15) is centred and attached to the edge (4) of the casing by means of several tongues (22) positioned round its periphery, fitting into matching slots (23) in the casing (5), and held in position by gluing the glass (3) to the edge of the casing.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 23 words
A headlight as defined in claim 4, wherein the tongues (22) on the funnel lock into notches containing holes (29), in the casing.
