Abstract: The invention relates to a folding reflector (1) having shade spokes (5) that are annularly hinged on a bearing body (7), by which spokes a reflecting cover (3) can be mounted. The reflector is characterized in that the ends of the shade spokes (5) that turned toward the linkage thereof extend beyond said linkage respectively and in that, due to the effect on said sections (9) of the shade spokes (5) extending beyond the linkage, said sections can be moved into the mounting position and back.

Abstract: The invention relates to an illumination device for flashlight photography comprising at least one reflector chamber which, in use, can be arranged in the direction of an object being photographed, having at least one reflector and at least one flash element arranged in the reflector chamber as first light source, as well as at least one UV filter element which, in use, covers the reflector chamber on a radially extending outer face in the direction of the object being photographed, the filter element having at least one ventilation opening. By means of the arrangement, an illumination device suitable for all fields of application is to be provided, a particular objective being to generate flash series of any desired length and at the same time to provide optimum UV protection on the illumination device. Uses of such an illumination device are also defined.
