Abstract
A projection-type vehicle headlight includes a sheet metal support (11) which provides a light shield (3) between a convex lens (2) and a reflector (1). The support is rigid and has arms (12) which are fastened to the ellipsoid-formed reflector. The arms are appended to a lens frame (13), which receives the lens, of the support. The light shield is in the form of a spherical bulge which extends, or is convex, toward a light source (5), the bulge being produced by 'drawing out' areas of the support lying within the lens frame. A light shield edge (6) is formed by 'blanking out' an opening in a top half of the spherically shaped bulge.
