  • Patent number: 9458991
    Abstract: The invention relates to a forward access optical framing projector assembly either forward of, or housed behind, a finished surface in which adjustments to the assembly can be made from the front end making it safer and easier to manage. The forward access design requires only a small opening behind a finished surface and can be adjusted by tool instead of hand. The invention has a light mask gate attached to a gate rotation sleeve, and a locking fastener parallel to the optical axis of the light source that pushes the light mask gate forward, making it possible to lock the light mask gate. A tool can be inserted into an opening in light masking shutters. Radial slots in a front cone flange combined with either a shutter gate with radial grooves or a nut retainer tab makes it possible to variably adjust and lock the light masking shutters.

  • Publication number: 20140029265
    Abstract: A light projector system, including a light projector device having a light source for producing a light beam, a light mask, an objective focal lens disposed within the path of the light beam, and a gate area. The light projector system also includes a diffusion element disposed within or forward of the gate area along the path of the light beam of the projector device. The diffusion element eliminates visible chromatic aberration from an illumination zone produced by the light projector system.

  • Patent number: 6612076
    Abstract: The invention is a flange device used for flush mounting construction fixture or hardware trims. The invention reduces the potential of a hair line crack between dissimilar materials. The invention can be molded, extruded or otherwise formed into nearly any shape and designed to work with a large variety of different fixtures, hardware and trims. The portion of the flange in contact with a surfacing material (those applied at plastic state) bonds the two surfaces together and is an interface which isolates the dissimilar fixture or hardware material.
