Abstract
A tilting device of a vehicle headlight having a tiltable member defining the direction of the light beam and being tiltably supported on a supporting member. The tilting device comprises an adjust rod being rotatable and displaceable in the fore and aft directions and supported on the supporting member with the front end being connected to the tiltable member and the rear end projecting rearward of the supporting member, and a drive mechanism for rotating the adjust rod and being mounted on the rear surface of the supporting member. The drive mechanism comprises an output shaft slidably and irrotatably connected to the rear end of the adjust rod, a detecting device for detecting the position of the adjust rod and disposed coaxially with the output shaft, a drive mechanism for rotating the output shaft and a transmit mechanism for trasmitting the rotation of the output shaft to a rotatable portion of the detecting device.
