Abstract
Optical projection apparatus utilizing a pulley and cable mechanism for positioning optical components thereof which comprises a fixed pulley means, translatable pulley means and cable means entrained about the foregoing means. A clutch is provided to selectively preclude rotational movement of the fixed pulley means while translational movement is imparted to the translatable pulley means to thereby effect repositioning of the translatable pulley means relative to the fixed pulley means. An optical component fixed for movement with the translatable pulley means and an optical component fixed for movement with the cable can thereby be repositioned relative to each other by effecting translational movement of the translatable pulley means while simultaneously preventing rotational movement of the fixed pulley means. With rotational movement imparted to the fixed pulley means the optical components move either in the same direction or in opposite directions depending upon the manner in which the cable is wrapped about the translatable pulley means.
