MULTIDIMENSIONAL ROTARY MOTION APPARATUS MOVING A REFLECTIVE SURFACE AND METHOD OF OPERATING SAME

摘要

A rotary motion controller controlling the motion of a mirror in a projection system is described having a mounting element coupled to a support member. A two-axis coupling is provided with at least two input shafts coupled to two drive mechanisms. A channeled portion is provided in a second of the two input shafts through which the support member extends there through and is guided thereby and where the at least one support member is coupled to the first input shafts via an input coupling coupled to and driving the support member and a control input controlling the position of the at least two input shafts. A method of controlling a mirror in an underwater projection system is also provided along with a method of operating a controller for an underwater projection system and a further embodiment for providing movement of a mirror in an underwater projector.

主权项

1. A motion control system controlling a mirror within an underwater projection system in a water feature, fountain, pool, or spa, the system comprising:
an at least one drive mechanism; at least two input shafts coupled to and driven by the at least one drive mechanism; a channel portion in a first of the least two input shafts; a support member coupled to the second of the at least two input shafts, wherein the support member passes through the channel portion from the second of the at least two input shafts and extends to support a mirror mount where the at least one drive mechanism moves the at least two input shafts and this movement is imparted in the support member and the mirror bracket mounted thereon which in turn supports a mirror in the underwater projection system and guides an image from the underwater projection system within the water feature, fountain, pool, or spa.
