| Title: |
Box Truss For Lights |
| Abstract: |
A truss assembly (10) for supporting lights (30) is described. The assembly
includes a truss frame (12) with individual units (16) within which is
mounted electric lights. The truss frame has end plates (34) at each end
(12B) and rotatable plates (52) mounted onto each end plate by bushings
(58) which are fixably mounted within the rotatable plates. Locking
assemblies (64) extend through the rotating plates and into indexing holes
(50) in the end plates. Support receivers (70) are attached to the
rotatable plates and mount on top of support stands (74) in order to keep
the truss assembly in an elevated position. In a second embodiment, the
truss frames are joined together to form a longer truss assembly. Several
truss assemblies are connected together by forked support stands 78 at the
corners to create a truss system 80 which encloses an arena 86. The fixed
bushings within the rotatable plates enable the truss frame with the
electric lights to be rotated into various positions. The locking
assemblies act to keep the frame in a rotated position determined by the
specific placement of the indexing holes through which the locking
assemblies are inserted.
