z 1 claims.
w The main objects ofthis invention are:
First, to provide a motor vehicle headlamp with ll construction of the headlamp except the annular rim member thereof which is embossed and made more pleasing in appearance.
Third, to provide a reflector of which is simple and economical in its parts and quite emcient and 'effective inoperation.
Objects relating to details and economies of our invention will appear from the description to ^follow. The invention is defined and pointed out' in the claims.
A structure which is a preferred embodiment bf our invention is illustrated in the accompany ing drawings, in which: v
Fig. 1 is a view in side elevation of a headlamp embodying the features of our invention.
Fig. 2 is a front elevation.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged detailv section on a line corresponding to line 3 3 of Figs. 2 and 4.

Pig. 9 is an enlarged detail section on a line corresponding to line l-l of Pig. 8. 10 is a detail section on line II-II of ng. 11 1s a perspective view or a. iight resecting unit of the modification.
Fig. 12 is a perspective view of the locking casing for the light reflecting unit of Fig. 1l.
Referring to theembodiment of our invention illustrated by'li'igs.` 1 to 6 of the drawings, the headlamp I of generalbullet design or outline has a reflector 2 mounted therein with its annular flange s overlapping the inturned ilange 4 of the shell or casing S. The lamp is provided with a substantially circular lens C having an annular flange-like rim 1 which is held in spaced relation to the reflector 2 by means of the cork gasket 8.
The shell or casing l has an annular closure or this character rim member 9 having an inwardly facing channel I 0 and an inturned annular flange II forming a forwardly facing annular channel I2. The flange II has telescoping engagement with the ilared portion I3 of the shell. 'I'he flange Il of 5 the channel IB engages the annular rim I of the lens S. The lens 6 is resiliently held in assembled relation with the flange` Il by me of the wire spring I5 which is seated in the gr ve I2 and engages the rim 1 of the lens. IThe sp Ii holds lo the len's centered relative 'to the rim member 9 so as to'provide an vannular space between the periphery of the lens and the inside of the rim member.
` "I he rim member has an annular series ofemvl5 bossed sockets I6, each of which is provided with. a centralV opening II. A light reecting unit Il is disposed in each socket with its lens il projecting through the opening I`I-.
'I'he lens is providedwith an annular rib or 20 enlargement providing a forwardly facing shoulder-like seat for the gasket 2| disposed between the anges on the socket and the shoulder or seat and a rearwardly facing shoulder-like gasket seat for the end of the cup-like reflector 2l which is 25 preferably secured to the lens. The cup-like holder or casing 22 is arranged on the reector and provided with oppositely disposed ears or lugs 23 having holes 24 therein receiving the ends of the spring wire loop 25. The arms 26 of this spring 30 are preferably crossed as illustrated, their ends 21 engaging the holes 24. The springs are seated in the forwardly facing channel I2 of the rim l.
The arms 26 extend through the space between the periphery of the lens 0 and the rim 35 member s. The spring wire loops act to resiliently urge the light reflecting units into assembled relation with their sockets. The light renecting units are readily assembled with the rim mem ber by merely inserting each light reflecting unit 40 inits socket and then compressing the spring 'so as to snap it into the groove I2. v
This arrangement permits very rapid assem bling of the reflector lens umts and they are held against rattling and urged' bythe springs against 45 the gaskets 2| so that moisture is effectively excluded. Broken lens umts may be quickly replaced without the aid of special tools.
Referring to the modincation of our invention illustrated by Figs. 'I to 12 of the drawings, the 50 rim member 30 of shell 3| of the headlamp is provided with an annular series of embossed sections 32, each of which-is provided with a plurality of sockets 33 having openings 3l. In 'each socket 1s disposed s. light 4museum; umu u eon- 55 yield when telescoped over the rounded lugs 40 formed on opposite sides of the wall of the reflector 31. 'I'he wall of theholder is provided with opposed openings 4I receiving the lugs 40 to hold the parts in assembled relation in the manner of a snap fastener.
In this case, the embossed sections 32'are arranged in the shell 3l on the outside of the closure or rim member 42 which holds the headlamp lens 43 in assembled relation with its reector 44. A wire spring 45 urges the lens 43 into lassembled relation with the rim member 42, a gasket 46 being disposed between these parts. A cork gasket41 separates the inner surface of the lens 43 from the annular flange 48 of the reflector 44. The flange 48 overlaps the inturned flange 49 of the'shell 3| in which the embossed sections are provided.
" "Our improved. headlamp is highly ornamental andfattractive in appearance, its eiiciency as a headlight is not decreased, and the lamps are visible to an approaching vehicle, even when the Alamps are not lighted, so headlights embodying my invention are a substantial safety factor to approaching vehicles. It is well known that manyv accidents occur because of the failure of one light on an automobile, which results in confusion to an approaching vehicle as to the exact position `of the vehicle having the defective-light.
We have illustrated and described our improvements in embodiments which we have found very practical. We have not attempted to illustrate or describe other embodiments or adaptations, as it is. believed this disclosure will enable those skilled in the art to embody or adapt our improvements as. may be desired.
