Abstract:
What follows is the description of an improved hydraulic system for automatically adjusting the positions of headlights of an automobile. The hydraulic system includes two component hydraulic systems, the first of which is provided with a mechanical linkage structure associated with spring-suspended parts at the front and rear of the automobile, two measuring cylinders having pistons displaceable therein and connected to the linkage structure, and a conduit which connects the two measuring cylinders with one another and with the work space of a common working cylinder of the hydraulic system. The second component system is provided with a second working cylinder having a piston displaceable therein and a work space which is connected by a conduit to the common working cylinder, as well as a pair of headlight position adjusting linkages connected to the pistons of the two working cylinders on the one hand and adapted for mechanical connection to pivotably mounted headlights of the automobile, on the other hand. This hydraulic system is improved by providing it with a fill-up valve in one, and a vent valve in the other of the component systems, and with a hydraulic conduit interconnecting the two systems in which conduit there is interposed a shut-off structure which can be opened in the direction of liquid flow from the fill-up valve to the vent valve, while the entire hydraulic system is being filled.
