  • Device for the arrangement of a personnel-operated apparatus in the ceiling area of a stage or an auditorium
    Patent number: 7219765
    Abstract: A work platform for a lighting operator or a cameraman is described, which has a mounting for the apparatus to be operated and a seat for the operator. The work platform consists thereby of foldable sidewalls, which in a transport position lie parallel with the floor and receive frame parts below themselves, which serve to complete the entire work platform.

  • Spot mast for a carrying system
    Patent number: 6519910
    Abstract: A mast for a carrying system has carriers which can be vertically moved by way of a runner guided on the mast and which are used for holding stage-related implements. The mast includes several tube sections of the same diameter which are aligned with respect to one another, and an interior tube piece by which the tube sections are connected with one another at a boundary. The interior tube piece is a sleeve which is slotted along a surface line, thereby defining a slot, and is penetrated by at least one pressure screw which acts by way of a pressure piece with a convex outer contour upon counterpressure pieces. The counterpressure pieces also have convex outer contours and are provided at edges of the slot.
