(under subclass 257) Subject matter wherein the light source (or support therefor) and modifier are structurally related by a common support having means to permit the light source
(or support therefor) and modifier to assume two different positions about an axis without moving with respect to each other.
(1) Note. The recitation of a "sealed-beam headlight" is considered a nominal recitation of a light source and the combination of a "sealed beam headlight" and a tiltable or rotatable supporting means is therefore not classified in this subclass or the subclasses indented hereunder if no light modifier is recited in the combination. Such combinations are classified elsewhere and cross-referenced to this subclass or the subclasses indented hereunder.
(2) Note. Light units which are held in one position by resilient means are not classifiable in this subclass or the subclasses indented hereunder merely because an outside force acting against the resilient means can rotate or tilt the unit temporarily to a second position. The second position is not considered "assumed" since it lasts only as long as the outside force is applied.

66, for a pivoted lamp or lamp support combined with vehicle structure, e.g., fender.
306, for a light source or modifier held in place by resilient means and having no means recited to vary the position of the light source or modifier. 365+, for means to mount a tiltable or rotatable lamp housing (e.g., a "sealed beam" unit) in a recess in, for example, unclaimed vehicle structure.
