Abstract
An aiming level device for a motor vehicle headlamp which has a short longitudinal length, requires a small number of components, and is simple to assemble. The inventive aiming level device includes a body member or base, a bubble vial supporting frame pivotable with respect to the body member, and a zero-point adjusting screw for holding a sideward extending part of the supporting frame. The bubble vial supporting frame, which is formed by cutting and bending a single thin metal plate, holds the bubble vial with parts continuously formed at a side region of the front-rear extending region of the frame to support the bubble vial at front and rear portions thereof, and the front and rear end portions of the front-rear extending region are held by the zero-point adjusting screw so that it is adjustable upward and downward by rotating the screw.
