| Title: |
Interchangeable Light Effects |
| Abstract: |
A light effect system includes a light source and one or more aperture
elements interposed between the light source and an exit lens of the
system. The aperture element comprises at least one aperture and at least
one light effect element positioned therein. This invention concerns a
system where the aperture element comprises at least two "fingers" partly
surrounding each light effect element in at least 180.degree. of the
circumference. These snapping "fingers" engage with the contour of the
outer surface of the said light effect element in order to hold the light
effect element in position in the aperture, and the said fingers are
formed of a flexible material. Hereby, it is achieved that the locking
and releasing of the light effect component can be done by push and pull
in an ideal perpendicular direction to the light path. In other words, no
angling, bending or twisting is necessary, so a minimum of space is
required.
