Abstract:
In a light assembly operable to reflect incident light energy towards a selected target location, an improvement of reflector-positioning apparatus for positioning a reflector from which the light energy is reflected towards the selected target location, said reflector-positioning apparatus comprising:a first rotatable element capable of rotational movement in a first selected manner about a first rotational axis responsive to application of a first rotational force thereon; a second rotatable element capable of rotational movement in a second selected manner about the first rotational axis responsive to application of a second rotational force thereon; a first directional transducer coupled to said first rotatable element and to which the reflector is mounted, said first directional transducer rotatable about the first rotatable axis together with rotation of said first rotatable element, and said first directional transducer for transducing the rotation thereof about the first rotational axis into rotation of the reflector about a second rotational axis; and a second directional transducer coupled to said second rotatable element and to which the reflector is mounted, said second directional transducer rotatable about the first rotatable axis together with rotation of said second rotatable element, and said second directional transducer for transducing rotation thereof about the first rotational axis into rotation of the reflector about a third rotational axis.
