Patent number: 9649702Abstract: A 360° rotatable drill shear attachment has a housing with forward extending shear blades and a rearward extending drive bit connectable to a chuck of a portable hand drill. A cowling is fixed to a mounting flange and rearward of the shear housing protectively covering the drive bit and drill chuck. A circular clamp is rotatable and securable to the mounting flange. Left and right rails slide-ably adjust lengthwise and pivotally extend from the clamp along the left and right sides of the drill body to a point beyond the rear of the drill body to a drill rear end. A connector adjustably is fastened to the rear ends of the rails to adjustably draw the ends together for securing the shear attachment to the drill body. The clamp may be loosened to rotate the mounting flange of shear attachment, and shear blades, within the clamp for shear blade orientation anywhere along a 360° axial arc.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2015Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: Malco Products, Inc.Inventors: Thomas A.

Patent number: 8388178Abstract: A cyclorama includes a generally enclosed housing having a normally horizontal housing axis and an open front. A reflector proximate the open front has an operative portion that has a substantially uniform cross-section along the housing axis. The reflector has a surface configuration and an LED array is arranged in relation to the reflector surface to provide a higher flux density directed toward a far end of a wall or surface to be illuminated and provide a lower flux density directed toward a direction of the near end of the surface to be illuminated, generating a transition flux density between the far and near ends of the surface to be illuminated. The LED array and/or the reflector have optical features for eliminating shadows in the projected light over the entire illuminated surface.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2012Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: Altman Stage Lighting Co., Inc.Inventor: John T.

Patent number: 8344655Abstract: A combined power and data track lighting system includes an elongated track, having a number of longitudinal guide ways for carrying electrically isolated power and data conductors arranged within at least some or the guide ways. An adapter applies power to the power conductors, and another adapter applies control data to the data conductors. An LED luminaire contains LEDs, each of which can generate a discrete color. A data converter converts data on the data lines to control the currents in the individual LEDs to create a desired composite color. Quartz luminaire, Metal-Halide luminaire, Digital Light Processor (DLP) automated computer luminaire, and DMX controlled devices can be supported and controlled through the track, that can be supported on trusses. The main control data is Remote Device Management (RDM) supplied applied to the data conductors.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2010Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Altman Stage Lighting Co., Inc.Inventors: John F. Luk, Dean J. Reiter, John T. Ryan, Michael J. Tucker, Gary R. Leonard

Patent number: 8152332Abstract: A cyclorama light includes a generally enclosed housing forming an interior compartment having a normally horizontal housing axis and an open front defining a window generally arranged within a plane parallel to said axis. A reflector substantially covers the window and has an operative portion that has a substantially uniform cross-section along the housing axis. An LED light emitter array extends along a line substantially parallel to the housing axis, the reflector having a surface configuration and the LED array being arranged in relation to the reflector surface to provide a higher flux density directed toward a far end of a wall or surface to be illuminated and provide a lower flux density directed toward a direction of the near end of the surface to be illuminated, generating a transition flux density between the far and near ends of the surface to be illuminated.

Publication number: 20110181200Abstract: A combined power and data track lighting system includes an elongated track, having a number of longitudinal guide ways, for attachment to a support surface, as well as a number of current carrying conductors arranged within at least some of the guide ways. The first of these conductors are power conductors and the second conductors are data conductors, the conductors being electrically isolated from each other. The lighting system further contains a first adapter for connection to source of electrical power for the power conductors, and a second adapter for connection to a source of control data. There is at least one LED luminaire present in the system, and this luminaire contains a number of LEDs, each of which, when energized, generates a single color out of a discrete plurality of colors. A data converter converts data along the data lines to control the currents in the individual groups of color LEDs, so that they create a desired composite color.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2010Publication date: July 28, 2011Inventors: John F.

Patent number: 6964501Abstract: A high-powered lighting assembly includes an easily sealed continuous thermal barrier and a solid-state actively controlled closed-loop refrigeration system to maximize operational efficiencies and increase unit life. The thermal barrier prevents thermal back-flow from a heat sink plate or a housing to a lighting array while insulating a control module and a thermal sensor with improved sealing geometry. The refrigeration system is optimally positioned to controllably pump heat from the lighting array to the heat sink plate.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2002Date of Patent: November 15, 2005Assignee: Altman Stage Lighting Co., Ltd.Inventor: John T.

Publication number: 20020133282Abstract: The present invention relates to a brake lighting system that includes a light array which illuminates sequentially when a velocity measuring device, independent of the braking system, detects a change in velocity of the motor vehicle, and communicates the change in velocity to the array. The velocity measuring device includes, but is not limited to, a speedometer, an accelerometer, an odometer, an anti-lock braking system (ABS), or a global positioning system (GPS). The velocity measuring device produces velocity measurement data which is processed by a system clock, a velocity measuring device data interface, a pulse generator, at least two memory latches, a deceleration level detector, and a brake light interface in order to sequentially illuminate the brake light array.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2001Publication date: September 19, 2002Inventors: John T.

Patent number: 6220731Abstract: A cyclorama light includes a housing having generally opaque rear, bottom and side walls and an open front wall defining a window that extends from a region proximate to the upper end of the rear wall and a region proximate to the front end of the bottom wall and generally extending between the side walls. The housing defines a housing axis generally parallel to the rear and bottom walls and normal to the side walls. An elongate reflector essentially extends between the side walls and is mounted for rotary movements about the housing axis. An elongate lamp having a lamp axis is mounted on the reflector to maintain the lamp axis substantially coextensively with the housing axis, the reflector being configured to direct light generated by the elongate lamp with a predetermined intensity distribution through the window formed in the open front wall in a direction which is a function of the rotational position of the reflector about the housing axis.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 1998Date of Patent: April 24, 2001Assignee: Altman Stage Lighting Co., Inc.Inventor: John T.
