Abstract (en)

[origin: US4679127A] The invention concerns a headlight for motor vehicles, with a cover plate that covers up the reflector. An essentially U-shaped enclosure made out of sheet metal is positioned in the vicinity of the lamp, which fits into an opening in the vertex of the reflector. The flanks of the enclosure extend above and below but not in contact with the lamp, at least to some extent constituting a screen that screens off sections of the reflector that generate diffused light. The flank below the lamp also functions essentially as a supporting arm for the enclosure. The free terminal section of the supporting arm above the lamp has a third screen. A tongue is punched and bent out of the area of the U-shaped enclosure between the lamp and the cover plate and constitutes the upper supporting arm.
