Abstract
Mirror structures for reflecting and concentrating radiation energy, so-ced heliostats, comprise a rotatably pivoted supporting framework made of flexurally stiff supporting members (12, 13, 14), with single mirrors adjustably attached thereto. In order to be able to use thinner, lighter, not pre-bent, yet flexibly adjustable single mirrors, essentially flat planar carrying frames (1, 2, 4) are attached to the supporting framework, preferably by way of three-point connections (5). Several flexible, smaller individual mirrors (6) are mounted on each of these carrying frames, with the aid of axially adjustable pins distributed over the mirror plane.
