Abstract
A symmetric monitor calibrator for mounting on a cathode ray tube or monitor with a surface. The calibrator has a case that holds electronic and optic components. Suction cups hold the calibrator to the surface, in which the suction cups are attached to the end of supporting elements that surround the case. At least three supporting elements with a common connecting point to form one support structure are connected to the top of the case. The supporting elements extend out creating a greater diameter than the case. The supporting elements and therefore suction cups uniformly surround the center point of the case to prevent rotation caused by the effects of gravity.
Claims7
A calibrator for mounting to a monitor surface, the calibrator comprising:
- a case;
- an electronic component for measuring a color content of light emitted from the monitor surface secured to an inner surface of the case;
- and
- a support structure, secured to an outer surface of the case, including a plurality of case supporting elements extending over and radially outwardly from the case and uniformly distributed around a perimeter of the case, such that gravitational effects on the calibrator are reduced when the case supporting elements are secured to the monitor surface.
