| Patent Number: |

| Title: |
Lamphead |
| Abstract: |
For changing a lamp in a lamphead, in particular a stage, studio, film
and/or television lamphead, a cover component of the lamphead is opened by
swivelling the cover component about a swivel axis. The swivel axis runs
along a straight line which cuts the cover component in two points
positioned at a distance apart from one another. In the case of a circular
cover component, the two points are a secant of the cover component. The
swivel axis preferably thereby runs near to the middle or even centrally
or diametrically through the middle of the cover component. Preferably the
straight line defining the swivel axis is vertical. The cover component
does not have to be swivelled far to the side, upwards or downwards, but
instead is swivelled partially into the case, whereby particularly in the
case of limited space availability this leads to simplified handling of
the lamphead, e.g. when the lamp is changed.
