Mount for photographic lighting equipment

Claim 2

A mount for photographic lighting equipment, comprising: a mounting bracket; a support ring having a first axis that extends perpendicular to any given diameter of said ring, with the latter being carried by said mounting bracket, and with said lighting equipment being mounted on said support ring in such a way that not only is said lighting equipment rotatable relative to said mounting bracket about a second axis that extends essentially perpendicular to said first axis of said ring, but said lighting equipment is also rotatable about said first axis, said mounting bracket includes means for the mounting bracket to be rotatably mounted about a further axis that is disposed perpendicular to both said first axis and said second axis; said lighting equipment being mounted on said support ring in such a way as to be rotatable relative to the latter about said first axis thereof; and said lighting equipment being provided with guide elements, and in which said support ring is embodied as a profiled ring into which said guide elements extend.

Claim 3

A mount for photographic lighting equipment, comprising: a mounting bracket; and a support ring having a first axis that extends perpendicular to any given diameter of said ring, with the latter being carried by said mounting bracket, and with said lighting equipment being mounted on said support ring in such a way that not only is said lighting equipment rotatable relative to said mounting bracket about a second axis that extends essentially perpendicular to said first axis of said ring, but said lighting equipment is also rotatable about said first axis; said lighting equipment being mounted on said support ring in such a way as to be rotatable relative to the latter about said first axis thereof; said lighting equipment being provided with guide elements, and said support ring is embodied as a profiled ring into which said guide elements extend; and said support ring being rotatably mounted on said mounting bracket in such a way as to be rotatable about said second axis.

Claim 4

A mount for photographic lighting equipment, comprising: a mounting bracket; and a support ring having a first axis that extends perpendicular to any given diameter of said ring, with the latter being carried by said mounting bracket, and with said lighting equipment being mounted on said support ring in such a way that not only is said lighting equipment rotatable relative to said mounting bracket about a second axis that extends essentially perpendicular to said first axis of said ring, but said lighting equipment is also rotatable about said first axis; said lighting equipment being mounted on said support ring in such a way as to be rotatable relative to the latter about said first axis thereof; said lighting equipment being provided with guide elements, and said support ring is embodied as a profiled ring into which said guide elements extend; and said support ring being rotatably mounted on said mounting bracket in such a way as to be rotatable about said second axis.

Claim 5

A mount according to claim 2, in which said mountinq bracket has two legs, each of which has a free end through which said second axis of rotation extends and on which said support ring is mounted.

Claim 6

A mount according to claim 3, in which a clamping mechanism for said support ring is provided on said free end of one of said legs of said mounting bracket.

Claim 7

A mount according to claim 3, in which said mounting bracket is rotatable about a third axis that extends at right angles to both said first and second axes.

Claim 8

A mount according to claim 5, in which said first, second, and third axes intersect one another in the center of said support ring.

Claim 9

A mount according to claim 5, in which said mounting bracket has a U-shaped configuration, with said two legs being interconnected by a crosspiece that is provided with a pivot support through which said third axis extends.

Claim 10

A mount for photographic lighting equipment including a light, comprising: a mounting bracket having at least two legs; and a support ring having a first axis that extends perpendicular to any given diameter of said ring, with the latter being carried by said mounting bracket, and with said lighting equipment being mounted on said support ring in such a way that not only is said lighting equipment rotatable relative to said mounting bracket about a second axis that extends essentially perpendicular to said first axis of said ring, but said lighting equipment is also rotatable about said first axis, said lighting equipment being mounted on said support ring in such a way as to be rotatable relative to the latter about said first axis thereof, said lighting equipment being provided with guide elements, and said support ring is embodied as a profiled ring into which said guide elements extend, and a crosspiece of said mounting bracket that connects two legs of said mounting bracket as means for the mounting bracket to be rotatably mounted about a further third axis that is disposed perpendicular to both said first axis and said second axis so that the mounting bracket, together with said support ring and the light, can be rotated about said further third axis, all three of said first, second and third axes intersecting in a center of said support ring.

Claim 11

A mount for photographic lighting equipment including a light, comprising: a mounting bracket having at least two legs; and a support ring having a first axis that extends perpendicular to any given diameter of said ring, with the latter being carried by said mounting bracket, and with said lighting equipment being mounted on said support ring in such a way that not only is said lighting equipment rotatable relative to said mounting bracket about a second axis that extends essentially perpendicular to said first axis of said ring, but said lighting equipment is also rotatable about said first axis, said lighting equipment being mounted on said support ring in such a way as to be rotatable relative to the latter about said first axis thereof, said lighting equipment being provided with guide elements, and said support ring is embodied as a profiled ring into which said guide elements extend, and a crosspiece of said mounting bracket that connects two legs of said mounting bracket as means for the mounting bracket to be rotatably mounted about a further third axis that is disposed perpendicular to both said first axis and said second axis so that the mounting bracket, together with said support ring and the light, can be rotated about said further third axis, all three of said first, second and third axes intersecting in a center of said support ring.
