Abstract
Abstract A fairing and headlight assembly for a motorized two wheel vehicle is disclosed, in which the headlight is carried by a yoke which is removably received within grooves in a recess of the fairing and is detachably secured within the fairing by a single screw threaded member which extends to the exterior of the fairing through an aperture therein. The yoke carries a lamp-supporting gimbal mount which is separately adjustable about horizontal and vertical axes, movement of the gimbal about a horizontal axis being under the control of an adjustable member which extends to the exterior of the fairing through said threaded member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A fairing and headlight assembly for a two-wheeled motor vehicle, comprising: fairing carried by the motor vehicle and which has a recess in a forwardly presented face thereof for the reception of a headlight sub-assembly, walls of said recess providing opposite substantially horizontally extending grooves for the reception and support of members of said headlight sub-assembly; and a headlight sub-assembly detachably received within said recess, said headlight sub-assembly including, a yoke having arms which terminate in members positioned within the respective grooves of the fairing with a tight fit and which are slidable longitudinally of said grooves; and a threaded sleeve rigidly supported by said yoke and which extends through an aperture in the fairing, and which is rigidly secured therein by a threaded member received on said sleeve to secure said yoke and said headlight sub-assembly immovably within said recess.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
141 words
A fairing and headlight assembly for a two-wheeled motor vehicle, comprising: fairing carried by the motor vehicle and which has a recess in a forwardly presented face thereof for the reception of a headlight sub-assembly, walls of said recess providing opposite substantially horizontally extending grooves for the reception and support of members of said headlight sub-assembly; and a headlight sub-assembly detachably received within said recess, said headlight sub-assembly including, a yoke having arms which terminate in members positioned within the respective grooves of the fairing with a tight fit and which are slidable longitudinally of said grooves; and a threaded sleeve rigidly supported by said yoke and which extends through an aperture in the fairing, and which is rigidly secured therein by a threaded member received on said sleeve to secure said yoke and said headlight sub-assembly immovably within said recess.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
108 words
The fairing and headlight assembly of claim 1, in which said headlight sub-assembly further includes: a mounting ring pivotally supported on said terminal members of said yoke for movement about a transverse horizontal axis; a threaded adjustment member received within an internally threaded member carried by said lamp mounting ring at a position displaced circumferentially from the pivot support thereof, said threaded adjustment member extending through said threaded sleeve of the yoke and being rotatable from a position exterior of said fairing; and stop members associated with said threaded adjustment member and said threaded sleeve inhibiting axial movement of said threaded adjustment member relatively to said threaded sleeve.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
45 words
A fairing and headlight assembly according to claim 2, in which said headlight sub-assembly further includes: a resilient member surrounding said threaded adjustment member and which reacts against the internally threaded member of said lamp mounting ring and the opposed face of the threaded sleeve.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
80 words
The fairing and headlight assembly according to claim 2 or claim 3, in which said headlight sub-assembly further includes: a second lamp mounting ring pivotally supported on the other said mounting ring for movement about a vertical axes. a threaded adjustment member carried by one of said rings and which is threadedly received within an internally threaded member carried by the other of said rings; and members carried by said second lamp mounting ring for detachably attaching a headlamp thereto.
