| Title: |
Compact Truss System |
| Abstract: |
A truss system for supporting stage lights or other entertainment
components having a strong frame for protecting the components and a
vertically adjustable deck from which the components are suspended and
from which the components are highly accessible. Truss systems may be
connected together either collinearly or in angled configurations
depending on the geometry of the venue. The deck is vertically adjustable
in response to the components used and/or the geometry of the venue.
Caster legs are also part of the system and they allow easy movement of
the system and shock isolation of the components. The deck is cushioned
against shock and vibration by interposing helical isolators between the
frame and the deck. Rail extensions are also provided for added safety and
to further protect components during transportation between venues. The
system is easy to assemble and disassemble and does not need as much labor
as previously.
