ROTATING LIGHT BEACON INCLUDING LOW-PROFILE STEPPER MOTOR

摘要

A parabolic reflector (14) is rotated about a stationary light source (12) to create a beacon. A low profile stepper motor (30) includes a centrally located spindle (34) having a socket (35) in which the light source (12) is placed. A hub (50) fits over the spindle (34). The hub (50) includes a slot (57) that receives a corresponding tab (16) on the parabolic reflector so that, as the low profile stepper motor (30) rotates, the parabolic reflector (14) is rotated about the light source (12).
