Abstract:
1. A portable concave reflector assembly comprising: (a) a hub member defining a hub axis; (b) at least two blade members radiating from said hub member, with each one of said blade members being identical in size and shape to each other one of said blade members; (c) a hub interlocking means for holding each of said blade members in selectively locked and secured relation with respect to said hub member; and (d) a blade interlocking means for holding each of said blade members in selectively locked and secured relation with respect to each adjacent one of said blade members; wherein said hub member and said blade members together form a continuous reflective front face throughout three hundred and sixty degrees about said hub axis, and wherein said portable concave reflector assembly has a concave dish-shaped profile for directing substantially parallel waves of incident radiant energy to a general focal area; wherein said hub interlocking means is adapted for selective rotation of said hub member about said hub axis in a first substantially circumferential direction relative to said blade members from an unlocked hub configuration towards a locked hub configuration; in said unlocked hub configuration, each of said blade members is held in selectively disengagable relation with respect to said hub member; and in said locked hub configuration, each of said blade members is held in locked and secured relation with respect to said hub member.
