Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0715120A1] The headlamp is designed to give a suitably directed dipped beam for driving on either side of the road, by means of the mask (3) which consists of an L-shaped screen having two wings (31,32) each formed of three straight segments and pivotable about a horizontal transverse axis (XX'). To convert from the right-hand running position to the left-hand, a bent wire (5) is pulled (h) causing the assembly to rotate (g) until the initially vertical wing (31) attains one horizontal stop (41), while the other wing (32) moves from the other horizontal stop (41') into the vertical position.
