Abstract
Flexible sheet reflector for floodlight is supported at its ends by cradle members having parabolic openings into which the reflector ends are inserted, so that the reflector is formed and held in the desired shape by the cradle members, thereby avoiding distortion of the reflector which would otherwise result from the use of screw mountings or other fasteners.
