    Let \( {\mathcal C}:=\{ (x,y,z) \in {\mathbb R}^3: x^2+y^2<z^2,z>0 \}\) be the unit cone. The author proves the existence of a solution for the Dirichlet problem of the \(H\)-surface equation in central projection for Jordan domains \( \Omega \) which are strictly convex in the following sense: On their whole boundary \( \partial {\mathcal C} (\Omega) \) their associated cone \( {\mathcal C}( \Omega ):=\{(rx,ry,r) \in {\mathbb R}^3: (x,y)\in \Omega , r \in (0,+ \infty)\} \) admits rotated unit cones \( O\circ {\mathcal C} \) as solids of support, where \( O\in {\mathbb R}^{3 \times 3}\) represents a rotation in the Euclidean space. The constructed \(H\)-surface has a one-to-one central projection onto these domains \( \Omega \) bounding a given Jordan-contour \( \varGamma \subset {\mathcal C} \backslash\{ 0 \} \) with one-to-one central projection.
