Abstract: A toric finer-polisher (10) for the fining and/or polishing of a toric lens comprises a lap table (36) for holding a tool, a spindle (48) on which the lap table (36) is mounted, a rocker arm assembly (18) for holding the lens in contact with the tool, and a motor for driving the spindle (48) and lap table (36) so as to cause relative motion between the tool and the lens, thereby finishing the surface of the lens. The spindle (48) is fixed at its lower end to a gimbal, and is contacted at an intermediate point along the spindle (48) by a timing belt (44) connected to the motor, so as to maximize a gimbal radius of the lap table (36) assembly, thus maintaining a parallel relationship between the tool axis and the lens axis during finishing of the lens surface. Other features of the invention include provision of all motions (rotational, orbital and transverse) by a single motor, provision of a two-spindle arrangement in which dual spindles are timed in their oscillatory motions so as to cancel normally encountered reactionary forces, provision of a gear reduction mechanism beteen the motor and a break-up motion assembly so as to provide break-up motion on a reduced-speed basis, and provision of a pressure-operated lap table for holding the tool on the lap table surface under the influence of air pressure.

Abstract: A variable beamwidth stage light relying upon an axially movable reflector for changes in beamwidth. The reflector has a plurality of radially outwardly and axially forwardly extending leaves in side-by-side relation to define a bowl-shaped reflector surface. A stationary support flange is in frictional contact with the radially outward surface of each leaf. The reflector leaves are sandwiched between a base member and a ring member at the base of the reflector. A motor driven lead screw is attached to the base member to cause axial movement of the reflector relative to the support flange. The reflector defines a first and a second focal point along the axis of the reflector. A light source is fixed at the first focal point, which remains substantially fixed relative to the base member. Contact of the support flange with the reflector leaves causes the diameter of the reflector leaves to vary as the base member is moved, thereby causing displacement of the second focal point and variation of the bandwidth issuing from the reflector.

Granted: 1993-02-03
Abstract: A device for introducing a low turbulence air displacement flow into an enclosed space, has a first housing section enclosing an air distribution space having an air inlet on one side and air flow passages through another side, and a second housing section having a perforated outer jacket and a non-perforated central core pipe. One central air flow passage connects the core pipe to the air distribution space. A ring of holes or a ring gap leads into a ring space formed between the perforated jacket and the core pipe. A third air passage permits forming an air skirt around the outer surface of the jacket. Control elements permit selectively opening and closing the flow passages, so that all or part of the fresh air may pass through the core pipe and air skirt or through the ring space. The perforated jacket may have a cylindrical portion and a frustum portion connecting the cylindrical portion to a perforated bottom plate. Air exiting through the air skirt and through the core pipe entrains air exiting through the perforated jacket to form the displacement air flow.
