Controllable kinetic flexible member imagery system |
| 摘要 |
An apparatus for moving one or multiple flexible members to produce kinetic imagery where the flexible members have two spaced endpoints and are suspended in a curve from the endpoints. A drive mechanism is provided for continuously lengthening and shortening the distance between the endpoints and/or for varying the lengths of the flexible members, and a control unit is present for operating the drive mechanism. |

1. An apparatus for producing kinetic imagery by continuously moving a flexible member in space between a lower position and an upper position comprising:
a flexible member suspended in a downwardly extending curve from two spaced flexible member endpoints, the flexible member being rotatably attached to a pulley reel at at least one of the endpoints; at least one drive mechanism operating the pulley reel driven by a continuously reversing motor that reverses direction of rotation when the curve reaches the lower and upper positions to reel in and unreel the flexible member; and a control unit for operating the drive mechanism. |
