Abstract
A remote controller disclosed herein may be usable in a device for adjusting the angle at which the headlight beams from a motor vehicle are directed down onto the road surface. It comprises a guide case, a slide member mounted to the guide case for axial movement but against rotation with respect to the guide case, and a rotatable shaft rotatably mounted to the guide case for rotation but against axial movement with respect to the guide case. The slide member is adjusted by the rotatable shaft which engages with a threaded portion formed on the slide member. In order to limit the extent of axial movement of the slide member, the extent of rotation of the rotatable shaft is limited by a stop fixed to the rotatable shaft and abutment means fixed to the slide member and cooperating with the stop.
