Abstract

An adjustable assembly comprises a base (mount ring 1), an adjustable part (inner ring 3), a lever (tilting lever 5) and a drive (drive element 6). The lever (tilting lever 5) is connected to the base (mount ring 1) and to the adjustable part (inner ring 3) via two elastic solid pivoting joints (7, 8) oriented in parallel. One of the two solid pivoting joints (7) is divided into two pivoting joint parts (7a, 7b), which are arranged such that along their pivoting axis (9) they are offset sideways on either side of the second solid pivoting joint (8).
