ABSTRACT:
A solar trough reflector including two forms with identical surfaces, preferably convex parabolic curves. The form members are carried on a longitudinal slideway in which at least one is free to slide. Positive mechanical means, such as a threaded screw, moves the slide to adjusted position on a slideway. Gripping means hold a flexible sheet with a reflecting surface tightly around the convex surfaces and then the adjusted means moves the slidable form away from the other to tension sheet. The entire slideway is pivoted on support members so that the trough so formed may be tilted to receive the direct rays of the sun.
