  • Patent number: 5023756
    Abstract: An improved light diffusion box for photographic, industrial and consumer uses. The light diffusion box includes a hollow housing of fabric material provided with a front screen and having means for securing a ring to the rear end thereof, the ring being adapted to mount a light source within the housing. The housing has sides which are coupled together and each side has a silver laminate layer adjacent to a thin, white nylon layer. A deflection/transmission panel is between the light source and the front screen. A graduated or alternated deflection/transmission pattern is printed on at least one face of the panel and such pattern is equal and opposite to the naturally-occurring light fall-off from the light source. The center of the pattern forces the strong light nearest the source to be largely deflected into the sidewalls of the housing and only slightly transmitted.

  • Patent number: 4669031
    Abstract: A photographic light box comprised of a housing having a side wall with a pair of opposed ends, one of the ends being larger than the other end and the side wall progressively increasing in cross section as the smaller of the two ends is approached. A panel capable of transmitting diffused light is secured to the side wall across the larger end of the housing, the smaller end being open to receive a light source including a lamp disposed within the housing and capable of being energized to produce light. The housing has a plurality of flexible rods extending along the side wall at spaced locations thereon and the ends of the rods near the smaller end of the housing are inserted into holes in spaced block carried by a strap surrounding the light source as the light source extends into the opening of the housing.
