Abstract
Abstract To provide for uniformity of illumination across a film window, for exampleor super-8 mm film, the reflector has at least two contours whose generatrices follow conical sections which have a common optical axis in the direction of radiation emission, and which are so arranged that the sections are formed as sectors, with adjacent sectors having different contours. At least four sectors are used, and preferably the focal point of the generatrices are displaced relative to each other either in the reflector axis or on a parallel thereto, the conical section are identical, and two such conical sections are used, with surface areas at a ratio of between 4:6 or about even.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A reflector for illuminating an area from a source of emission of radiation comprising at least four sector-shaped sections having contours whose generatrices follow elliptical curves having a common optical axis in the direction of radiation emission, adjacent sectors having a different contour with respect to said source, wherein the focal points of the elliptical curves coincide and the contour of the one elliptical section being such that a spot-type illumination results, and the contour of the other elliptical section being such that a saddle-type illumination is obtained; and wherein said contours follow the equations: 0.442359X.sup.2 -0.276790XY+Y.sup.2 +31.353331X-17.448185Y+294.045=0 0.580390X.sup.2 +2.997111XY+Y.sup.2.spsp.2 -49.93828X+214.9997Y-5171.662=0.
