Datum structure for ensuring alignment with respect to a reflector assembly
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A reflector, comprising:
- a hyperbolic surface for reflecting light;
a focal point,an opening for insertion of a light source having an origin of light emission; and
a datum structure for orienting said origin of light emission to said focal point wherein the datum structure includes;
first, second and third surfaces defining a first plane orthogonal to an insertion direction of said light source for limiting a travel of said light source in said insertion direction;
fourth and fifth surfaces for limiting a travel if said light source in a first direction orthogonal to said insertion direction; and
a sixth surface for limiting travel of said light source in a second direction orthogonal to said first direction and said insertion direction.

Abstract
A reflector assembly includes a reflector in which a reflector opening is defined therein. The reflector assembly has a datum structure having a plurality of a datum surfaces coupled to the reflector opening. The datum structure is configured to align a lamp with respect to a focal point of the reflector.
