  • Patent number: 7905630
    Abstract: A light effect system includes a light source and at least one aperture element interposed between the light source and an exit lens of the system. The aperture element has at least one aperture and at least one light effect element positioned therein. The system uses an aperture element having at least two “fingers” partly surrounding each light effect element in at least 180° of the circumference. These “fingers” engage with the contour of the outer surface of the light effect element to hold the light effect element in position in the aperture, and the 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.

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° 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.

  • Publication number: 20080038052
    Abstract: An adaptor (8) for an axle where the axle defines the centre of rotation for transmission of the rotational movement to at least one access or attachment point (6), which is eccentric with the axis of rotation, where the adaptor (8) is disc-shape with an outer perimeter (7) and an inner perimeter (9), where the inner perimeter (9) has a shape which fits the axle, and furthermore where the adaptor (8) includes securing means for securing the adaptor (8) to the axle. This adaptor (8) is distinctive by a cut-out (10) connects the inner perimeter (9) with the outer perimeter (7), and the securing means consist of a shank portion (15) and a tread portion (14) where the shank portion (15) is larger than the tread portion (14). Hereby reducing the permanent deformation of the adaptor (8) as well as the axle as the shank portion (15) will provide most of the elasticity for the clamping force rendering it possible to transmit torque as well as reduce angle deformation.
