Patent number: 11835219Abstract: An illumination device includes a plurality of light sources arranged in at least a first group of light sources having one or more light sources and a second group of light sources having one or more light sources and further includes one or more light collectors, each being arranged for collecting light from one or more light sources from the first group of light sources and for converting the collected light into one or more light beams. The first and second groups of light sources are each individually controllable. The first and second groups of light sources are both arranged for emitting light from a space on one side of the one or more light collectors. The illumination device is arranged so that light emitted from the second group of light sources through the one or more light collectors defines a pattern comprising one or more elongated elements.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Harman Professional Denmark APSInventors: Niels Jørgen Rasmussen, Claus Ellevang Hansen

Patent number: 10077885Abstract: An iris diaphragm comprises a stationary ring, a rotatable adjusting ring, and a plurality of shutter blades. The plurality of shutter blades forms a diaphragm aperture inside the stationary ring and rotation of the adjusting ring moves the shutter blades inside the stationary ring whereby the size of the diaphragm aperture can be changed. The shutter blades are formed as a flat opaque surface and at least one of the shutter blades comprises at least one transparent region formed in said opaque surface. A light fixture comprises such iris diaphragm arranged between a light source generating a light beam and an optical assembly configured to project the light beam along an optical axis.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2016Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: MARTIN PROFESSIONAL APSInventor: Claus Ellevang Hansen
