Abstract
A headlight, having a bowel shaped reflector with two focal points and a lens, includes a screen shaft positioned between the lens and the reflector, a rotational axis of which extends horizontally and at a right angle to an optical axis. The screen shaft is adjustable to a plurality of rotational positions and has in each rotational position a focal line, which produces a light-dark border of a light pattern. A mantle surface of the screen shaft has at least one surface portion which connects two focal lines which extends irregularly to, and deviates from, a cylindrical surface.
