Patent Number: 6210023 
Title: Anti-Noise System for a Moving Object 
Abstract: A stage lighting device has a light source for emitting light and a light modifying element for modifying such light. The light modifying element is coupled to a driven element which is rotationally coupled to a structural member so as to be rotatable about a first axis. The device has a noise-producing motor assembly with an output shaft. A driving element is coupled to the output shaft to be rotationally driven by the output shaft about a second axis. The driving element is coupled to the driven element by an endless loop element so as to rotationally drive the driven element about the first axis. A vibration-isolating mounting structure couples a motor assembly to the structural member and includes surfaces which vibrationally isolate the motor assembly from the structural member to attenuate vibration transferred from the motor assembly to the structural member. The mounting structure is pivotally coupled to the structural member with a pivotal range of motion about a pivot axis which is substantially parallel to the first axis. A tensioner couples the structural member to the mounting structure to bias the mounting structure in a first direction about the pivot axis so as to maintain a tension in the endless loop element.
