LIGHTING SYSTEM, SUPPORT FOR LIGHTING SYSTEM, METHOD OF INSTALLATION AND DISMANTLING OF LIGHTING SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREOF Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC F21S8/08 

FIELD: illumination.

SUBSTANCE: lighting system contains an inflatable cover support with a rigid basis installed either on the ground, or on the basic platform, or on the load carrying element. The lighting system further includes braces arranged along the cross-section perimeter of the support, and connected to the ground and the support, and a light source connected to the support. The support basis is furnished with an aperture for inletting pressurised air into the support. The system is supplied with a means movably fixing the support basis on the ground, which enables sluing of the support basis relative to the ground or its rolling on the ground. As a means enabling sluing of the support basis relative to the ground the braces are used. The method of installation and dismantling of the lighting system involves installation of the support on the ground, filling the support with pressurised air, and connecting braces to the ground at installation of the system. The method also involves removal of air from the body and detachment of the braces from the ground at dismantling of the support. During installation, before inletting the air the support basis is bridged to the ground by the means of the support basis movable fixation, for example, by a hinge or a flexible element. Further on, the middle part of the body is connected to the ground by means of several braces arranged along the cross-section perimeter of the support. After that, pressurised air is pumped into the body. At dismantling of the support, it is manually bent towards the ground. Simultaneously one group of the braces located opposite to the direction of the support bend is extended. The support is bent by its sluing relative to the means of the support basis movable fixation to the ground till the support top point reaches the position where it is, at least, at arm's length distance from the ground. Then, the support top point is held manually or by means of a post and after that the air is removed from its body.

EFFECT: wider potentialities and simplified design.
