Vehicle headlamp
First Claim
1. A vehicle headlamp, comprising a headlamp insert with at least one reflector;
- a receiving fixture on which said headlamp insert is held pivotably;
an adjusting device for pivoting said headlamp insert in order to adjust an alignment of an optical axis of said headlamp at least in a vertical longitudinal plane, said adjusting device including a screw bolt passing through an opening in a part of said receiving fixture and fixable to said part;
at least one first female part by which said screw bolt is fixable to said part, said screw bolt being fixedly connected to said headlamp insert and protruding upwards from said headlamp insert, said first female part being screwed onto said screw bolt between said headlamp insert and said part of said receiving fixture;
a second female part screwed onto a portion of said screw bolt which juts upwards through said opening in said part of said receiving fixture, said both female parts for a fixation of said screw bolt being bringable into bearing contact against said part of said receiving fixture so that one of said female parts is loosened, rotation of the other of said female parts allows said headlamp insert to be pivoted in order to adjust the alignment of the optical axis in the vertical longitudinal plane.

Abstract
The headlamp has a headlamp insert (10), which is mounted pivotably at its front marginal region (22) in a receiving fixture (12). A part (50) of the receiving fixture (12) has an opening (52) through which there is placed from above an adjusting screw (54), which is supported by its head (55) against the top side of the receiving fixture part (50), which is screwed into a threaded bore (43) in the headlamp insert (10) and onto which there is screwed, between the headlamp insert (10) and the receiving fixture part (50), a female part (57). The female part (57) enables the adjusting screw (54) and hence the headlamp insert (10) to be fixed to the receiving fixture part (50) and, once the female part (57) is loosened, the adjusting screw (54) can be twisted in order to adjust the alignment of the optical axis (28) of the headlamp insert (10) in a vertical longitudinal plane.
