DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present subject matter relates generally to a saddle ride type motor vehicle and more particularly to a headlamp assembly for the said motor vehicles.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Generally, in a two-wheeled or a three-wheeled vehicle a body frame extends rearward from a head tube. The body frame acts as a skeleton for the vehicle that supports the vehicle loads. A front portion of the body frame supports one or more front wheel(s) through one or more front suspension(s). Further, the body frame extends rearward towards a rear portion of the vehicle. One or more rear wheel(s) is connected to a body frame through one or more rear suspension(s). A power unit is either fixedly mounted or swingably connected to the body frame of the vehicle. Further, the power unit is functionally connected to at least one wheel of the vehicle, which provides the forward/rearward motion to the vehicle. The forward or rearward motion of the vehicle is achieved by the rotation of the wheels. The vehicle is provided with a headlamp and a tail lamp that provide visibility to the rider and provides safe driving conditions for drivers behind, respectively.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0009] Typically, the two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicles, which are colloquially referred to motorcycle, scooter, trike, auto-rickshaw etc., are provided with a headlamp that is used for providing visibility to the rider of the vehicle. This headlamp generally includes a low-beam and a high-beam that the rider can switch between depending on driving condition/surroundings. With time, the vehicles are additionally provided with a daytime running lamp or pilot lamps that offer better conspicuity of the vehicle during all the time.
[00010] In some vehicles, the headlamp is provided with a split type headlamp, where in a low-beam condition one of the light is operated and in high beam condition both the lights are operated. Such system either use filament bulbs, Light emitted diode (LED) type lamps, or projector type lamps with LEDs or LASERS. Generally, the filament type lamps are high power consuming and take ample space in the headlamp due to the inherent constructional requirements. Moreover, such split type headlamps are bulkier. Whereas, the projector lamps are complex and costlier due to the complex lenses and use of solenoids that are used for switching between high-beam or low-beam or the like. Moreover, the split type headlamps are typically implemented in vehicles having an aerodynamic fairing or at least a cowling that encloses the headlamp, which includes multiple polymer parts that are fragile and tend to get damaged even due to the smallest impact. Mostly, in these vehicles, the headlamp is supported by a stay that is typically a sheet member that is welded to the frame assembly or other structural members of the vehicle. Thus, the stay is also a weak part that tends to change its orientation during impact thereby changing the entire orientation of the lighting system. This becomes a serious condition as the lighting is not directed towards desired road portions.
[00011] Moreover, in some other type of vehicle as aforementioned, where a fairing is not present, the headlamp is still enclosed in a headlamp cowl of the vehicle that is also made of a polymer. In such vehicles, the headlamp is mounted onto the steering assembly of the vehicle. This assembly requires higher number of components increasing assembly time and part manufacturing and part handling requirements, which makes the process and assembly costlier. Also, in some other vehicles, the headlamp is provided with a partition forming low-beam and for high-beam, where the portions are selectively irradiated by using light sources disposed separately, which requires more mounting requirements making the headlamp design complex. Further, such partition requires a cowling assembly, which is an added part. Moreover, this type of headlamps is prone to damage during smallest of impacts thereby affecting the function of the headlamp. Also, even in such headlamp, a stay is used for mounting the headlamp and cowling assembly. During impacts, variations occur in the stay orientation, and even small degree of variations would change the mounting orientation of the entire headlamp. Even minute change in orientation of the headlamp would affect direction of the light rays from the headlamp assembly illuminating undesired portions of the road. This causes serious threat to the rider due to poor illumination at desired location and also to the riders or vehicles coming behind or in opposite direction due to the light may be directed towards opposite rider’s eyes due to change in orientation. Hence, causing serious safety concern.
[00012] Moreover, in the aforementioned types of vehicle, the headlamp assembly makes headlamp bulkier creating odd proportions at the front of the vehicle and at the same time adding weight on the steering assembly affecting maneuverability of the vehicle. Moreover, the conventional headlamp assemblies may require separate mounting requirements for the daytime running lamp or pilot lamp and also to the turn signal lamps. This requires multiple brackets for mounting and also requires complex routing requirements.
[00013] Thus, there is a need for addressing the aforementioned and other problems in the port art. The headlamp assembly should be compact yet rigid that is capable of providing desired lighting condition for the rider and should offer conspicuity for others. The headlamp should be capable of withstanding any impacts reducing change in orientation of the headlamp.
[00014] Hence, the present subject matter provides a headlamp assembly for a motor vehicle.

[00023] It is a feature that the first triple clamp is provided with L-shaped arms, forming the clamp arm(s), wherein the clamp arm(s) support the headlamp assembly about a pivot-axis that is extending substantially in a lateral direction of the vehicle.
[00024] It is another feature that the second triple clamp is provided with the adjustable mounting that is provided substantially at a lateral center thereof, wherein the lower portion(s) of the frame member(s) extend towards the adjustable mounting.
[00025] Thus, the adjustable mounting enables ease of adjustment of the headlamp assembly about the pivot axis whereby the orientation of the lighting can be adjusted.
[00026] It is a feature that the headlamp-frame is capable of supporting turn signal lamps (TSLs) for securely mounting the TSLs thereby eliminating the need for additional mountings and also providing entire lighting assembly in proximity at the same time with sufficient distance between the elements avoiding overlap.
[00027] It is yet another feature that the frame members are capable of guiding electrical wires that are connected to the lamps and also to a camera mounting portion provided on at least one frame member.
[00028] It is yet another feature that the headlamp-frame is capable of accommodating a camera without the need for additional camera mounting. It is a feature that a camera mounting portion is provided on lateral side of the headlamp assembly.
[00029] It is a feature that the casing supports a heat sink portion that is extending substantially in a rear direction, protruding from the casing. When seen from side, the headlamp assembly provides the freedom of extending the heat sink rearward towards the gap formed between the forks.
