Patent Number: 7942535 
Title: Color Wheel 
Abstract: A light fixture having at least one light source for generating a beam of light, a plurality of color filters are rotatable into position to intercept the light beam. The color filters are fixed to the color wheel by a central spring which has a number of radial protruding tongues for fixation of the color filters. The color filters are removable yet are secured in a correct position by radial protrusions formed between the color filters an circular outer protrusion located outward of the color filters so as to form a cavity that surrounds the color filter at both sides as well as at outward. Inward of the color filters, they are fixed by the protruding tongue that presses them down and keeps them in place. This leads to a nearly perfect fixation of each color filter, which can be exchanged if necessary.
