| Title: |
Gobo Handler Apparatus |
| Abstract: |
A gobo handling apparatus for use in a spotlight is disclosed. The
spotlight has a housing supporting a light source producing a light beam
and supporting at least one focusing lens. The spotlight includes an iris
slot through the housing proximate the focal plane of the light beam. The
apparatus of the invention comprises an elongated gobo housing removably
inserted in the slot. The gobo housing has a central axis and an aperture
therethrough for passage of the light beam in a direction normal to the
gobo housing axis. The housing has a plurality of generally disk shaped
gobo carriers each supporting a gobo, arranged side by side and movably
contained within the housing. A drive mechanism contained within the
housing operatively engages each of said plurality of gobo carriers for
independently translating the gobo members along the housing axis into and
out of the spotlight beam and rotating the gobo carrier in the spotlight
beam in response to a remote control signal. The drive mechanism is driven
by at least one motor attached to the housing for operating the mechanism
in response to the remote control signal.
