Abstract

The invention relates to an arrangement for the suspension of a headlamp (5) on the front (4) of a driver's cab (1) which is spring-mounted on a chassis frame (2). The object of the invention is to prevent relative movements between the driver's cab (1) and the chassis frame (2) from affecting the alignment of the optic axis of the headlamp (5). The invention is essentially characterized in that each headlamp (5) is pivotably connected to an upper and lower connecting arm respectively (29, 40), which connecting arms are pivotably connected to the chassis frame (2), and in that one connecting arm (29) is also pivotably connected to the driver's cab (1).
