Abstract

DC60 Purpose This invention is intended to provide a headlight device for riding vehicles that can adjust the beam axis with minimal operation and can eliminate the effects of driving vibrations on the beam axis. Solution The reflector 31 is provided with a support recess 31g made by protruding the reflective surface 31 to the bulb side 30, which has the back surface of the reflective surface recessed deeply into the bulb side 30. The beam axis adjuster 34 has a support 35 that supports the reflector 31 to the outer frame 32 and has an adjusting mechanism 36 that swings the reflector 31 to adjust the direction of the beam axis. The adjusting mechanism 36 is installed so that at least part of the adjusting mechanism is positioned in the support recess 31g. Purpose This invention is intended to provide a headlight device for riding vehicles that can adjust the beam axis with minimal operation and can eliminate the effects of driving vibrations on the beam axis. Vibration from driving affects the optical axis. Solution: Reflector 31 has a recess for support 31g, constructed by protruding the reflective surface 31 towards the bulb side 30, which has the back surface of the reflector deeply recessed towards the bulb side 30. Optical axis adjuster 34 has a support piece 35 that supports reflector 31 to the outer frame 32 and an adjustment mechanism 36 that swings reflector 31 to adjust the direction of the optical axis. Adjustment mechanism 36 is installed so that at least part of the adjustment mechanism is positioned in the recess for support 31g.

Claims (10)

Revised June 1, 2017 1. Headlight device (22) which has the following components: light source (30); reflector (31) which has a reflective surface (31c) which is arranged to reflect light from the light source (30), where the reflector (31) has a recessed section to support (31g); housing (32) which supports the reflector (31); and beam adjuster (34) which is arranged to adjust the direction of the light reflected from the reflector (31), where the beam adjuster (34) has a swivel support (35) that supports the reflector (31) in a swivel manner on the housing (32) and an adjustment mechanism (36) which is adjusted to swivel the reflector (31) to adjust the direction of the beam axis. This is made special in that at least one adjustment mechanism (36) is positioned in the recessed support section (31g), where the recessed support section (31g) is created by extending the reflective surface (31c) toward the light source side with the rear end of the reflective surface (31c) concave toward the light source; the recessed support section (31g) is positioned on the centerline (C) when viewed from above; and where two supports (35) are provided and two supports (53) and adjustment mechanism (36) are arranged to form an isosceles triangle (A), with adjustment mechanism (36) aligned with the apex of the isosceles triangle (A). 1. A headlight assembly for riding vehicles consists of: a bulb as the light source; a reflector with a surface capable of reflecting light from the bulb; an outer frame containing the reflector and bulb; a lens covering the front of the reflector; and a beam axis adjuster that can direct the light reflected from the reflector. The reflector has a recessed support section made by extending the reflective surface towards the bulb, with the back surface of the reflective surface deeply recessed toward the bulb; the beam axis adjuster has a support piece for the reflector against the outer frame and an adjustment mechanism that swings the reflector to adjust the beam axis; and the adjustment mechanism is installed so that at least a portion of the adjustment mechanism is positioned in the support recess. 2. Headlight devices for riding vehicles under claim 1 where the support for the beam adjustment device is mounted on the side facing the adjustment mechanism with the attached lamp. 3. Headlight device for a riding vehicle under claim 2 where two supporting pieces are mounted on the side facing the adjustment mechanism with the attached bulb. 4. Headlight device for a riding vehicle under claim 3 where two supporting pieces and an adjustment mechanism are installed to form an isosceles triangle with its apex at the adjustment mechanism. 5. Headlight devices for riding vehicles under claim 4 where such isosceles triangle is isosceles when viewed from the front of the vehicle. 6. Headlight devices for riding vehicles under Relief 5 where the isosceles triangle is an inverted isosceles triangle with an adjustment mechanism located at the bottom and two support pieces located at the top. 7. Headlight devices for riding vehicles under Requisition 1 where a light shield is constructed on the front of the emitting light direction of the support recess in order to partially shield the reflected light. 8. Headlights for riding vehicles under Requisition 7. Other components include a cover which surrounds the headlights, where a lens opening is constructed in the cover to allow the lens to protrude forward, and a shield constructed to be positioned within the lens opening. 9. Headlight devices for riding vehicles under claim 7 where the light shield has a partially blackened lens. 10. The headlight assembly of a motorcycle, with the headlight mounted above the front wheel, consists of: a bulb as the light source; a reflector with a surface capable of reflecting light from the bulb; an outer frame containing the reflector and bulb; a lens covering the front of the reflector; and a beam adjuster that can adjust the direction of the light reflected from the reflector. The reflector has a recessed mounting area made by extending the reflective surface towards the bulb, with the back surface of the reflective surface deeply recessed toward the bulb; this mounting area is positioned precisely above the front wheel so that it faces the front wheel; the beam adjuster has a support piece for the reflector attached to the outer frame and an adjustment mechanism that swings the reflector to adjust the direction of the beam; and the adjustment mechanism is installed so that at least part of it is positioned in the mounting area and that it is designed to be adjustable from the rear of the vehicle.
