Abstract
A device for adjusting the position of a vehicular headlamp includes a gear which, when rotated, effects linear movement of a link to adjust the headlamp. The gear is stamped from sheet metal and includes a flange with angularly spaced and axially extending teeth. A manually adjustable actuator rod is rotatably supported by the housing of the adjusting device and includes angularly spaced teeth which are adapted to drivingly engage the teeth of the gear in order to rotate the gear when the actuator rod is turned.
