  • Patent number: 9784436
    Abstract: A framing system for shaping light beam comprises a frame support having a number of shutter blades surrounding said light beam, and a number of actuators that move said shutter blades in and out of said light beam. The shutter blades form a merged pile, where part of a first shutter blade is placed over a part of a second shutter blade. A first actuator rotates at least one of said shutter blades in relation to a first rotational point and a second actuator moves the first rotational point in relation to said light beam. A method of shaping a light beam is provided, and involves rotating a shutter blade around a first rotation point using a first actuator, and moving the first rotation point in relation to the light beam using a second actuator.

  • Patent number: 8911120
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a framing system for shaping a light beam. The framing system comprises a frame support comprising a number of shutter blades surrounding said light beam and a number of actuators adapted to move said shutter blades in and out of said light beam. The shutter blades form a merged pile, where part of a first shutter blade is in placed over a part of a second shutter blade and where another part is placed below a part of a third shutter blade. A first actuator rotates at least one of said shutter blades in relation to a first rotational point and a second actuator moves the first rotational point in relation to said light beam. The present invention relates further to a method of shaping a light beam comprising the steps of rotating a shutter blade around a first rotation point using a first actuator and moving the first rotation point in relation to the light beam using a second actuator.

  • Patent number: 7699506
    Abstract: Moving head projector comprising a base, to which base a yoke is rotationally connected, to which yoke a head is rotationally connected, the head having a light source partly inside a reflector that forms a light beam which passes through a light forming arrangement located on at least one rotating disc formed member that is rotated by at least a first motor, and at least one lens through which the light beam passes before leaving the projector. The light forming arrangement is exchangeable via an opening in the head of the projector located radially outward of the at least one rotating disc formed member for providing direct access thereto during operation of the projector, the projector having a cover for closing and exposing said opening, opening of the cover switching the projector from a first mode of operation to a second mode of operation.

  • Publication number: 20080062692
    Abstract: The present invention relates to moving head projectors comprising a base, to which base a yoke is rotationally connected, which yoke is rotationally connected to a head, which head comprises a light source placed partly inside reflective means, which reflective means forms a light beam, which light beam passes through light forming means, which light beam furthermore passes through at least one lens before the light beam leaves the projector. The object of the invention is to achieve a primarily closed moving head projector, where air from the outside is prevented from entering the inner volumes of the projector. Furthermore, the object is to prevent the use of blowing means. Cooling of all optical and electrical components in the moving head projector can take place by means of natural heat convection and heat radiation. Thus, the moving head projector can operate without active cooling means e.g. without blowing means. This automatically leads to a very low projector noise level.
