Claim 1
Independent Claim
246 words
A reflecting device for a beam includes: a. a housing, b. a first body fixed on said housing, c. a second body mounted on said housing adjacent to said first body, d. said first body having a first passage therethrough, e. said first passage having a small diameter opening intersecting one surface of said first body and a large diameter opening intersecting another surface, f. said second body having a second passage therethrough, g. said second passage having a small diameter opening intersecting one surface of said second body and a large diameter opening intersecting another surface, h. the surface of one of said passages being formed as a first reflecting surface so that an input beam entering the large diameter opEning will have the rays of the beam focused so as to pass through the small diameter opening and have the focal point lie outside the one passage, i. said first and second body being positioned adjacent each other with the small diameter openings facing each other, j. each of said passages having an axis, k. means for aligning said axes, l. the surface of the other passage being formed as a second reflecting surface so that the beam leaving the focal point will have the rays deflected to form a desired output beam, m. means for moving said first body in relation to said second body along said axes to control the position of the focal points of the first and second reflecting surfaces.

Dependent Claim

A reflecting device for a beam includes: a. a housing, b. a first body fixed on said housing, c. a second body mounted on said housing adjacent to said first body, d. said first body having a first passage therethrough, e. said first passage having a small diameter opening intersecting one surface of said first body and a large diameter opening intersecting another surface, f. said second body having a second passage therethrough, g. said second passage having a small diameter opening intersecting one surface of said second body and a large diameter opening intersecting another surface, h. the surface of one of said passages being formed as a first reflecting surface so that an input beam entering the large diameter opEning will have the rays of the beam focused so as to pass through the small diameter opening and have the focal point lie outside the one passage, i. said first and second body being positioned adjacent each other with the small diameter openings facing each other, j. each of said passages having an axis, k. means for aligning said axes, l. the surface of the other passage being formed as a second reflecting surface so that the beam leaving the focal point will have the rays deflected to form a desired output beam, m. means for moving said first body in relation to said second body along said axes to control the position of the focal points of the first and second reflecting surfaces.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
A device as set forth in claim 1 wherein the first and second bodies are positioned so that the first and second reflecting surfaces will have a common focal point thereby transmitting a collimated beam.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
A device as set forth in claim 1 wherein the first and second bodies are positioned so that the first and second reflecting surfaces will have their focal points separated to defocus or overexpand the output beam.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
A device as set forth in claim 1 wherein the first and second bodies are positioned so that the first and second reflecting surfaces have their focal points overlapped to focus the output beam.
