| Title: |
Spotlight |
| Abstract: |
A novel spotlight where the position of image formation does not change
even when the zoom adjustment is made after focus adjustment, so that
focus adjustment and zoom adjustment can be facilitated. When a drive
shaft (10) is rotated by operating a zoom adjustment handle (5), a lens
(4a) moves forward and backward according to an unequal pitch (P1) of a
first screw section (15), and a lens (4b) moves forward and backward
according to an equal pitch (P2) of a second screw section (16), so that
the distances between the lenses (4a 4c) are changed and zoom adjustment
is made. Focusing adjusted by a focus adjustment mechanism (b) does not
change even when the distances between the lenses are changed. Therefore,
focus adjustment and zoom adjustment can be made extremely simply, and
the spotlight can be used particularly useful in performance space such
as TV studios and theater stages.
