Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0590454A2] A headlamp (headlight) for vehicles has a reflector and a converging lens arranged in front of the reflector, between which a fixed and adjustable diaphragm is arranged. The adjustable diaphragm can be pivoted about a bearing point of the fixed diaphragm into two end positions. In this case, the two diaphragms border on each other with their broad side surfaces. In at least one end position of the adjustable diaphragm its diaphragm edge or one section thereof is imaged as light/dark boundary. The adjustable diaphragm is produced from spring-steel sheet and at the same time serves as leaf spring which in both end positions either engages resiliently with a projection in one respective cutout of the fixed diaphragm or with one respective cutout resiliently overlaps a projection of the fixed diaphragm. In the two end positions of the leaf spring the projection and the cutout lock in a positive manner in the pivoting direction. <IMAGE>
