| Title: |
Linear Moving Pattern for Ellipsoidal Type Stage Light |
| Abstract: |
A gobo having linear motion is inserted to the narrow iris slot of a
conventional ellipsoidal stage light. The linear moving pattern includes a
housing, a drive roller and a motor, a return roller, and an endless
pattern loop. The housing has a narrowed end for protruding into the
instrument at the iris slot and holding the return roller on one side of
the light. The housing has a broad end for mounting outside of the
ellipsoidal stage light for holding the drive roller and motor at the
other side of the light. The broad end of the housing has two
spring-biased hinged clamps for clamping the linear moving pattern into a
single unitary linear moving pattern iris insert. A first motor clamp
holds the drive roller and motor in place. A second pattern clamp tensions
and dimensions the endless pattern loop for extension into and out of the
iris slot of the ellipsoidal light. The endless pattern loop is first
threaded to the return roller and the return roller mounted to the narrow
end of the housing. The drive roller and motor is threaded to the endless
pattern loop, placed into the housing at the broad end, and locked into
place by the motor clamp. The tension clamp is dropped over the endless
pattern loop to dimension and tension the endless pattern loop at two
parallel and linear runs on opposite sides of the iris slot. The unitary
linear moving pattern iris insert is inserted to ellipsoidal stage
lighting instrument at the iris slot for operation.
