Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A rotary screen for receiving optical images provided by a projector, said screen being a translucent screen rotatable on itself and mounted in median area of a spherical enclosure having a rear face and a front face, said rear face being opaque except in a central transparent portion and said front face being transparent, the projector being mounted rearwardly of said spherical enclosure in center axis of said rear face transparent portion in order to enable light rays from the projector to pass through said transparent portion of said spherical enclosure rear face to reach the screen.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
97 words
A rotary screen for receiving optical images provided by a projector, said screen being a translucent screen rotatable on itself and mounted in median area of a spherical enclosure having a rear face and a front face, said rear face being opaque except in a central transparent portion and said front face being transparent, the projector being mounted rearwardly of said spherical enclosure in center axis of said rear face transparent portion in order to enable light rays from the projector to pass through said transparent portion of said spherical enclosure rear face to reach the screen.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
The rotary screen of claim 1 wherein the rear face of the spherical enclosure is made opaque by a coating adhering to the rear face of said enclosure.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
The rotary screen of claim 1 further comprising a support having an arcuate front part supporting in cantilever fashion the spherical enclosure in which is mounted the screen.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
134 words
A rotary screen for receiving optical images provided by a projector, said screen being a translucent screen rotatable on its end mounted in median area of a spherical enclosure having a rear face and a front face, said rear face being opaque except in a central transparent portion and said front face being transparent, the projector being mounted rearwardly of said spherical enclosure in center axis of said transparent portion in order to enable light rays from the projector to pass through said transparent portion of said spherical enclosure rear face to reach the screen, wherein the rear face of the spherical enclosure is made opaque by a coating adhering to the rear face of said enclosure, said coating being a reflecting coating for improving brightness of the images projected by said light rays.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
134 words
A rotary screen for receiving optical images provided by a projector, said screen being a translucent screen rotatable on its end mounted in median area of a spherical enclosure having a rear face and a front face, said rear face being opaque except in a central transparent portion and said front face being transparent, the projector being mounted rearwardly of said spherical enclosure in center axis of said transparent portion in order to enable light rays from the projector to pass through said transparent portion of said spherical enclosure rear face to reach the screen, wherein the rear face of the spherical enclosure is made opaque by a coating adhering to the rear face of said enclosure, said coating being a reflecting coating for improving brightness of the images projected by said light rays.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
The rotary screen of claim 4 further comprising a support having an arcuate front portion supporting in cantilever fashion the spherical enclosure in which is mounted the screen.
