Abstract

Der Reflektor (1) eines Fahrzeugscheinwerfers weist an seiner Rückseite einen Fassungsring (2) auf. An dem Fassungsring (2) ist eine U-förmige Haltefeder (3) schwenkbar angebracht. Die Haltefeder (3) dient zur Halterung der Lampe (4) und weist an ihrem die Schenkel (5) verbindenden Steg (6) eine Ausbuchtung (11) auf. Der mittlere Abschnitt (10) der Ausbuchtung (11) ist in einer Lagerschale (7) eines radial nach außen gerichteten Vorsprungs (8) angeordnet. Die Lagerschale (7) ist in die dem Reflektor (1) zugewandten Seite des Vorsprungs (8) eingebracht. Die Haltefeder (3) ragt mit an die Ausbuchtung (11) des Stegs (6) angrenzenden seitlichen Abschnitten (12) des Stegs (6) über sich zugewandte Seiten von Halteansätzen (13) des Fassungsringes (2) hinaus. Die Halteansätze (13) weisen mindestens jeweils eine Anlagefläche (9) für die beiden seitlichen Abschnitte (12) des Stegs (6) auf und halten somit den Steg (6) bis zu einem bestimmten Schwenkwinkel in der Lagerschale (7).

Figure 00000001
The reflector (1) of a vehicle headlight has a mounting ring (2) on its rear. A U-shaped retaining spring (3) is pivotably attached to the mounting ring (2). The retaining spring (3) serves to hold the lamp (4) and has a bulge (11) on its web (6) connecting the legs (5). The central section (10) of the bulge (11) is arranged in a bearing shell (7) of a radially outward projection (8). The bearing shell (7) is introduced into the side of the projection (8) facing the reflector (1). The retaining spring (3) with lateral sections (12) of the web (6) adjacent to the bulge (11) of the web (6) protrudes beyond facing sides of retaining projections (13) of the mounting ring (2). The retaining lugs (13) each have at least one contact surface (9) for the two lateral sections (12) of the web (6) and thus hold the web (6) up to a certain swivel angle in the bearing shell (7).
