| Title: |
Compact Shutter Assembly For a Luminaire |
| Abstract: |
A shutter section includes a stack of circular plates independently
rotatable in a nest formed as a laminar formation of rings. The plates
have central openings defining a light path. Four central plates in the
stack are shutter guide plates with radial guide slots slideably holding
shutter blades. Two outer pairs of plates are shutter drive plates
connected by cams to the shutter blades. Simultaneous rotation of a
shutter guide plate and associated shutter drive plate causes rotation of
an associated shutter blade around the light path. Rotation of a shutter
drive plate while the associated shutter guide plate is stationary causes
the cam to move the associated shutter blade radially. The nest is
enclosed by end plates. A motor section has motors driving pinions to
rotate the circular plates. The circular plates, rings pinions and
shutter blades are made of sheet metal. Shutters may be provided as
interleaved pairs each driven by a pair of rotatable drive plates.
