| Title: |
Automated Truss Module with Deployment Mechanism |
| Abstract: |
A lighting truss utilizes a drive assembly to facilitate movement of
lighting instruments between a protected transport position and a deployed
position, extending the lighting instruments below the truss for
operation. Once deployed, means are provided for spreading the lighting
instruments apart from one another to allow unimpeded pan and tilt
operation of the lighting instruments and allow for storage of the
lighting instruments in a relatively small truss.
