Abstract

The adjustment device for a portable element includes: a first and second pair of first and second wire-shaped elements; a first adjustment unit mounted mobile on the first pair of wire-shaped elements and configured to: define two deviation paths of the first pair of wire-shaped elements and to separate the first and second wire-shaped elements of the first pair by a first distance X1, and define a first mechanical coupling means with the second pair of wire-shaped elements; and a second adjustment unit mounted mobile on the second pair of wire-shaped elements and configured to: define two deviation paths of the second pair of wire-shaped elements and to separate the first and second wire-shaped elements of the second pair by a second distance X2, and define a first mechanical coupling means with the first pair of wire-shaped elements.

Claims

1. An adjustment device for a portable element comprising:

a first and second pair of first and second wire-shaped elements;

a first adjustment unit mounted mobile on the first pair of wire-shaped elements and configured to;

define two deviation paths of the first pair of wire-shaped elements and to separate the first and second wire-shaped elements of the first pair by a first distance X1,

define a first mechanical coupling means with the second pair of wire-shaped elements;

a second adjustment unit mounted mobile on the first pair of wire-shaped elements and configured to;

define two deviation paths of the second pair of wire-shaped elements and to separate the first and second wire-shaped elements of the second pair by a second distance X2,

define a first mechanical coupling means with the first pair of wire-shaped elements.

2. The adjustment device for a portable element according to claim 1, wherein the portable element is configured to:

define a second mechanical coupling means with the first pair of wire-shaped elements and to separate the first and second wire-shaped elements of the first pair by a third distance X3,

define a second mechanical coupling means with the second pair of wire-shaped elements and to separate the first and second wire-shaped elements of the second pair by a fourth distance X4.

3. The adjustment device for a portable element according to claim 1, wherein:

the first and second pairs of wire-shaped elements each form a single wire-shaped element, and

the mechanical coupling means of each adjustment unit form a return means for one of the wire-shaped elements.

4. The adjustment device for a portable element according to claim 1, wherein the wire-shaped elements are of the same length.

5. The adjustment device for a portable element according to claim 1, wherein the wire-shaped elements form a continuous loop.

6. The adjustment device for a portable element according to claim 1, wherein the portable element is a headlamp.
