Multidimensional rotary motion apparatus moving a reflective surface and method of operating same
First Claim
1. A motion control system controlling an image projected from an underwater projection system in a water feature, pool, or spa, the system comprising:
- a rotatable base;
a mirror support member hingedly coupled to the rotatable base;
a first motor coupled to the rotatable base and configured to rotate the mirror support member in a first plane; and
a second motor coupled to the rotatable base and a fixed mount, wherein the second motor is configured to rotate the rotatable base relative to the fixed mount thereby rotating the mirror support member in a second plane.

Abstract
Some embodiments provide a motion control system controlling an image projected from an underwater projection system in a water feature, pool, or spa. The system includes a rotatable base and a mirror support member hingedly coupled to the rotatable base. A first motor is coupled to the rotatable base and is configured to rotate the mirror support member in a first plane. A second motor is coupled to the rotatable base and a fixed mount, wherein the second motor is configured to rotate the rotatable base relative to the fixed mount thereby rotating the mirror support member in a second plane.

9. A motion control system controlling an image projected from an underwater projection system in a water feature, pool, or spa, the system comprising:
-
a projector for displaying the image; a first motor coupled to a first cam; a second motor coupled to a second cam; and a mirror support member configured to move about a first moment in a first direction and about a second moment in a second direction, wherein movement in the first direction is imparted by the first motor rotating the first cam, and movement in the second direction is imparted by the second motor rotating the second cam, and wherein the first cam imparts motion directly to the mirror support member and the second cam imparts motion to the mirror support member indirectly through moving the second motor relative to a fixed mount. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An underwater projection system for a water feature, the system comprising:
-
a projector designed to display an image in the water feature; a motion control system having a base, a mirror hingedly coupled to the base, a first motor coupled to the base and configured to rotate the mirror in a first direction, and a second motor coupled to the base and a fixed mount, wherein the second motor is configured to rotate the base and thereby rotate the mirror in a second direction; and a controller configured to steer the image from the projector that is reflected off the mirror of the motion control system within a defined boundary space within the water feature by controlling the motion control system. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
