| Title: |
Apparatus for Mechanically Adjusting Lighting Fixture Beam Azimuth and Elevation |
| Abstract: |
A light projector, suitable for entertainment lighting and comprising a
light source and associated light collecting means producing an elongated
beam having an optical centerline that is preferably substantially
horizontal, is provided with a means, typically a mirror, mounted to a
first support adapted for rotation about an axis coincident with that
centerline, for redirecting the beam through a first plane perpendicular
to that substantially horizontal axis and centerline. A second mirror is
rotatably mounted to the first support so that the redirected beam falls
upon it, redirecting the beam a second time, through a second plane
perpendicular to the centerline of the beam in the region between the
first and second mirrors; a second plane that is also substantially
parallel to the axis of rotation of the first support. The first support
is supported for rotation about said axis on both sides of the means for
redirecting.
