Dual axis single motor platform adjustments system
First Claim
1. An arrangement for use in a light beam projection device for adjusting an orientation of a projected light beam, comprising:
- a base frame;
a support platform adapted to set the orientation of the projected light beam;
a pivot member pivotally mounting said support platform relative to said base frame;
a tilting motor provided to said base frame and having a pair of output shafts influencing the orientation of said support platform, whereby rotation of said output shafts in a first direction tilts said support platform only along a first axis, and rotation of said output shafts in a second direction tilts said support platform only along a second axis; and
a power supply for driving said tilting motor.

Abstract
An arrangement for use in a light beam projection device for adjusting an orientation of a projected light beam is disclosed. The arrangement comprises a base frame, a support platform adapted to set the orientation of the projected light beam, and a pivot member pivotally mounting the support platform relative to the base frame. A tilting motor is provided to the base frame and has a pair of output shafts influencing the orientation of the support platform, whereby rotation of the output shafts in a first direction tilts the support platform only along a first axis, and rotation of the output shafts in a second direction tilts the support platform only along a second axis. A power supply is provided for driving the tilting motor.

14. An arrangement for use in a light beam projection device for adjusting an orientation of a projected light beam, comprising:
-
a base frame; a support platform adapted to set the orientation of the projected light beam; a pivot member pivotally mounting said support platform relative to said base frame; a tilting motor provided to said base frame and having a pair of output shafts operably connected to respective ones of a pair of cams via a respective unidirectional clutch, said cams engaging said support platform, whereby rotation of said output shafts in a first direction rotates only one of said cams and rotation of said output shafts in a second direction rotates only the other one of said cams, whereby said cams adjust the orientation of said support platform, and thus the orientation on the projected light beam; and a power supply for driving said tilting motor. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. An arrangement for use in a light beam projection device for adjusting an orientation of a projected light beam, comprising:
-
a base frame; a support platform adapted to set the orientation of the projected light beam; a pivot member pivotally mounting said support platform relative to said base frame; a tilting motor provided to said base frame and having a pair of output shafts operably connected to respective ones of a pair of cams via a respective unidirectional clutch, said cams engaging said support platform, whereby rotation of said output shafts in a first direction rotates only one of said cams and rotation of said output shafts in a second direction rotates only the other one of said cams, whereby said cams adjust the orientation of said support platform, and thus the orientation on the projected light beam; a control system controlling said tilting motor; at least one tilt sensor for providing an electrical signal representing a sensed orientation of said support platform to said control system for operating said tilting motor closed loop; and a power supply for driving said tilting motor. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
