Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a dashboard designed specifically to display information, such as, for example, advertising messages.

These messages can be modified using a suitable electronic program so that over a period of time, such as a sports meeting, ads appear on a dashboard, they can be changed once or several times, allowing the same dashboard to to be used by several advertisers

Obviously, the dashboard described can also be used to display some other information requiring below 6 characteristics

The dashboard is specially designed to serve advertisements

announcements during sporting events, such as on football fields, basketball courts, etc., broadcast and broadcast on at least one channel and during which several boards are used as visual output devices, as appropriate positioned so that they can be captured by the cameras. In particular, each camera has an element which is actuated by a visual indicator mounted on each of the indicator boards. Using an appropriate means, the time during which each image remains on the dashboard can be controlled. This allows the cost of advertising to be dependent on the amount of time the ads are held on the screen or the duration to be set, so that when an advertisement or message is displayed on the contracted screen, then the message on said indicator dashboard or d hole indicator boards is replaced.

The information display panel according to the invention can also be used with display systems that extend the time elapsed during which messages appear on the dashboards until spoken based on the real time of display on the dashboards rather than based on of the time they appear on TV screens related to the channel or channels broadcasting the program.

In a more general sense, the described boards can be used in any practical conditions, under which it is desirable to change the displayed messages over time

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

An information indicator board with information is known.

The dashboard is composed of modules adjacent to each other.

Each module has laterally spaced walls and a pair of rollers parallel to one another, longitudinally spaced between the side walls for rotation.

The opposite edges of the changing information carrier, made as a web of thin-film material, are wound on the rolls, so that the selected information can be positioned for display by moving the web through the rolls. Drives are mounted in the rollers to rotate and move the web.

The actuator of one of the rollers

an electric motor and the other a spring motor, the efforts of the drives on the rollers being in the opposite direction to keep the web stretched between them / 1 /.

A disadvantage of the known information board is that the actuators are located in the interior, especially in the rollers, which is a complex design solution for installation and especially for the maintenance of the modules during operation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is an object of the invention to provide an information indicator board which will provide opportunities for easier installation of actuators

facilitated maintenance of modules during operation, without compromising the compactness of compositing the modules in a single message

The dashboard consists of a base provided with sliding wheels on the board as a whole on rails, allowing excellent longitudinal interconnection between the modules so that the various adjacent modules can transmit a single message or advertisement. A frame consisting of two parallel side panels is mounted on the base

II which extend vertically and connected to one another from the front with a plurality of front posts in the same plane, while at the rear said plates are joined by a frame in which a platform is secured to secure the members the electronic dashboard and to which doors are secured to provide access to these elements

Inside the frame, four rollers are mounted between the two side plates. Two of the rollers are freely rotating while the other two are driven by engines. The two freely rotating rollers occupy the imaginary upper and lower corners ^{of the} dashboard, between which is the working section of the web of thin-film material that actually carries the messages.

The motor-driven rollers, which apparently rotate in opposite directions, are intended to wind and develop said thin-film material.

The motors for driving the winding rollers are coaxially connected to them and are therefore located outside the modules

For this purpose, it is provided, which is an additional feature of the invention, that said rollers are not straight and lateral so that by means of reversing the side plates in the adjacent module, the motors of one module are placed in the empty spaces the adjacent module apparently going through the corresponding side panel backwards

However, in accordance with another constructive solution of the invention, the possibility that the respective drive motors can be accommodated in each module is provided, the motors are connected to the winding rolls in which case by means of transmission washers and belts, not axially

In accordance with the invention, the frame of a further feature is adjustably mounted on the base and provided with a plurality of positions so that the front surface of the frame on which the work area of the continuous thin-film material bearing the messages can be held upright or inclined , with a changing slope angle

It is also apparent that the structure described is an additional microprocessor-controlled electronic circuit that determines the times when the information appearing on the dashboard · needs to change, which drives the engines one direction or the other, changing the information many times over. data that can be stored in one dashboard

Said microprocessor can obviously be replaced by manual or remote control or any other means, both for direct and remote effects on the module

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION These figures can be seen to show that the information board described above consists of a base fitted with wheels, peripheral channels placed on which are placed several boards, longitudinally spaced properly connected to each other. Said base consists of a support structure for the frame, a pair of side plates constructed

4, reinforced by several posts which are joined at the ends in one plane to the leading edge of the plates, in particular by means of screws passing through holes 6 in the plates 4

Said frame is complemented by a rear upper frame 7 as well

placed between the plates 4 and including a platform 8 housing the electrical and electronic components of the panel, which will be referred to below.

Said frame is adjustably mounted on the base 1, for which purpose there is a tooth 10 sector 9 connected to one of the edges and in which a free locking means 11 is mounted, mounted in a housing 12, which in turn is connected to one of the edges of the frame 7, which together with the rest of the body, is adjustably mounted on the base 1, in particular by means of bearings 13.

A rectangular plate 14 is attached to the supports 5, and a sealing body 15 having the same rectangular shape is attached directly to it, and in front of it there is a plastic sheet 16, apparently having the same rectangular shape and forming the working surface of the dashboard. The thin-film material 17, which is the carrier of the information, and is suitably guided by a pair of rollers 18-18 'arranged to rotate freely at the edges of the leading edge of the plates 4, in particular inserted into the sockets 19 and by means of a slider, is slid thereon. the screws 20 of the shaft ends of the thin film material 17 are secured and wound on the respective rolls 2121 ', attached to one of the end plates 4 of the frame and extending beyond the dashboard, as shown in FIG. The two motors 22-22 'are respectively synchronized such that when the thin film material 17 is developed by one of the rollers 21, it is wound in the same amount on the other roller and vice versa.

Each side panel 4 of the frame has respective clamps 23-23 'to secure the engines 22 with the help of corresponding brackets

Clamps 23-23 'not arranged in a row, both vertically and horizontally.

The plates also include a large opening and groove 2 6, which are also not in a row relative to the above-mentioned clamps

23-23 'so that by adjusting the plates

of an inverted module relative to the adjacent module, as seen in FIG. 2, the motors 24 of one module or dashboard are not in a straight line with those of the other module and penetrate and are inserted into the empty spaces left by the rollers 21 in the other module through

said openings 25 or groove about ve 26. Engines 22, together p relevant conductors 27 are co total controlled for each by modules via the console with a management, not showing an on

c a s a n a s provided

The described structure has a lid that consists of a fixed part and two movable parts, one rear providing access to the platform, where the electrical and electronic components are located, and the front part 33 partially overlaps the upper area of the working part of the thin-layer material 17, carrier of information. Below it, a waterproof sheet can be pulled out to protect the thin-film material when not in use. Obviously, the module is closed in the same way at the rear by a movable cover 32, in particular with frame members 34 and 35, which can be clearly seen in Figure 1.

In accordance with the above-described construction, as mentioned above, each time a message or information displayed on the dashboard is changed, the electronic control unit 28 receives appropriate control signals to drive the motors 22-22 ', as a result of this partially develops a thin film material 17 from one of the rolls and at the same time rewinds the other into a mold, the amount of which is sufficient for a new portion of the thin film material corresponding to

the new information that will appear on the front surface of the dashboard. It remains only to be stated that in order to properly control the movement of the thin film material 17, signals, openings, compression and any other means recognized by sensors, such as a photocell, are provided between the respective parts corresponding to different information or messages. . This gives complete control over the size

On the move, as well as excellent synchronization between the dashboards.

Although the present description is made on the basis of the design shown in FIG. 2 and 3, to which the motors 22-2 2 'extend beyond one of the side plates 4 of the module or board, in the same manner it is provided that the motors 2222' may be housed inside the board as shown in FIG. 5 and 6. In this case, rollers 21-21 'with corresponding washers 36-36' are mounted at one end, with the help of which, and by means of transmission belts

37-37 'motion is transmitted by the engines

22-22 '

The transmission of movement can also be accomplished by means of gears and chains.

to get on

In addition to Figures 5, this rolls 18-18 'information, in this practical embodiment, is also provided freely for the thin-film material 17, the working part being substantially shown to rotate the substantially off-film material 17, and a permanent carrier may tilt upward to rearward. In this case, it is not necessary for the indicator module or the dashboard as a whole to be tiltable back, as is the case in Figures 1 through

4, but obviously such details are not only not particularly important, but also in no way affect the essence of the invention

Similarly, in this constructive solution, the upper 31 and the lower are provided

2 cover to be made as a single, substantially inclined cover adopts a trapezoidal, almost triangular profile as shown in FIG.

For this shaft, as in the figure, the winding positioned at a higher level is required to reach a significantly higher position than in the previous case and therefore to be displaced to the front wall of the module

It will also be noted in the construction shown in the figures provided a set of electric batteries inserted in each module, providing independent electrical energy this avoids the need to connect to an external power source

We do not consider it necessary

To extend the present description further, as it will be easy for one of ordinary skill in the art to ascertain the scope of the invention, its advantages.

The terms should be considered in their broad and non-limiting sense
