Abstract

The device has a cast bowl-shaped reflector (1) with inner and outer focal points (2,3), a diaphragm shaft (5) arranged between a lens and the reflector with several positions for different light functions and a holder (9) attached to the front edge region of the reflector for at least one bearing arrangement (10) for the diaphragm shaft. The holder has a section that spans a bearing shell (12) and holds the bearing arrangement for the diaphragm shaft in the bearing shell radially to the rotation axis (7) without play.
