Abstract
A supplemental optic system supported by a forward support structure azimuthally hinged from a forward portion of a track of an overhead support system cooperates with a light projector operatively coupled to the track. The track is suspended from a slider operatively coupled to a support post depending from an associated ceiling mount structure. The position of the slider within the track provides for minimizing the torque on the support post as a result of the distribution of weights of the light projector and the supplemental optic system.
Claims27
An overhead support system for supporting a light projection system, comprising:
- a. a suspendable mount structure;
- b. a track, wherein said track provides for supporting a light projector of the light projection system;
- c. a slider adapted to engage with and slide along said track, wherein said slider is operatively coupled to or a part of said suspendable mount structure;
- and
- d. a forward support structure operatively coupled to a forward end portion of said track, wherein said forward support structure provides for supporting a supplemental optic system of the light projection system so as to provide for light from to said light projector be processed and projected by said supplemental optic system.
A method of providing for supporting a light projector and a supplemental optic system from above, comprising:
- a. providing for operatively coupling the light projector to a track at a first location, so as to provide for supporting said light projector from above by said track;
- b. providing for operatively coupling the supplemental optic system to said track at a second location, so as to provide for supporting said supplemental optic system from above by said track, wherein said supplemental optic system provides for processing and projecting light from said light projector;
- c. providing for supporting said track from above from a third location along said track;
- and
- d. providing for adjusting said third location relative to said first and second locations.
