DEVICE FOR ADVERTISING ADVERTISING IMAGES

TECHNICAL FIELD [001] This specification describes an application for a Utility Model Patent that proposes a device for displaying advertising images, which can be part of promotional campaigns for various products and services, and which presents the possibility of being sequentially connected to other units of the same device thus forming a modular system for serving advertising images.

PREAMBLE [002] This Utility Model Patent application deals with a device for displaying advertising images that adopts a rotating disk as a surface to be decorated or printed with advertising images that may include figures, texts, association of texts and figures or any other elements capable of delivering advertising messages in general.

[003] The device for displaying advertising images object of this Utility Model Patent application innovates by the act of being configured with a base, from which a flexible tube is projected, which at its end receives the assembly of a housing which can house one or two units of a motor / reducer set that is used to produce the spin of a disk that you have as a support for the placement of advertising images.

STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE [004] The state of the art pertinent to the branch to which the device for displaying advertising images treated here includes, the document US 3,900,978, published in

Petition 870170029834, of 05/05/2017, p. 4/20

2/13

26/08/1975 and which describes an advertising device that includes a sign that has a monitor, preferably a five-pointed star. A pair of discs with openings that approximate the shape of the star points are mounted for rotation in relation to a common axis that is centered on the display.

[005] The solution dealt with in the aforementioned US patent document 3,900,978 provides for the use of means to rotate the disks in opposite directions, to move the registration inlet and outlet openings where the display on the plate appears, disappears and reappears .

[006] The means for rotating the discs comprises a slide mounted for reciprocating movement of approach and removal in relation to the axis of the discs and connecting rods that connect the slide to opposite portions on the periphery of the discs and a drive wheel mounted on the common axis.

[007] The driving wheel is rotated through a V-belt by an electric motor that is used to provide movement to the advertising device.

[008] Another document that also integrates the state of the art is WO8204469, published on 12/23/1982 and that proposes a rotation device used to convey dynamic images, where the image is subdivided into concentric circles that rotate on axes with different guidelines.

[009] Finally, PI 0203364, a document belonging to the state of the art, deposited by the Applicant on 08/23/2002, which proposes a motorized device for circular motion systems in advertising images, also includes an acrylic support transparent, narrow and housed, which

Petition 870170029834, of 05/05/2017, p. 5/20

3/13 is equipped with side walls forming a central channel closed superiorly and having a flat projection below in relation to the referred side walls, and in the upper section an electric motor is mounted that has its axis projected beyond the side walls of the piece of acrylic.

[010] The electric motor is used to rotate a disc that is positioned partially hidden in relation to a fixed part of the device that can also have a circular shape.

PROBLEMS OF THE STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE [011] The device treated in document US3,900,978 has the purpose of creating a visual effect that is based on a static figure and printed on a fixed surface, which has in front of it two discs with hollow windows that they rotate in opposite directions and visually overlap the printed figure.

[012] This type of solution has as its central focus to draw public attention to a differentiated visual effect, a fact that is a merit to be recognized, but it presents a serious factor that limits its use, since the figures that can be used must be of geometric origin.

[013] The device treated in the referred document does not lend itself to transmit advertising messages, does not foresee the possibility of using it in conjunction with other units of the same device and does not yet provide that two or more units of the said device can be electrically interconnected forming a system .

[014] The document WO8204469, presents as

Petition 870170029834, of 05/05/2017, p. 6/20

4/13 fundamental negative point is its high complexity resulting from the image to be conveyed being subdivided into circular areas (two annular and one circular in the center), where each area presents a distinct movement possibility in relation to the others.

[015] Also in the case of this document, there is no provision that two or more units of the device can be interconnected to form a system, and there is also no provision for the possibility of electrical supply being passed from one unit to the others.

[016] Finally, with respect to the document proposed by the Applicant, that is, the patent application Pl 0203364, it has a basic characteristic which is to form a structure that can be fixed to a showcase and where a rotating disk is provided which is partially hidden from another static surface.

[017] The device treated in the aforementioned document PI0203364 represented an innovation in relation to the first two devices, but still proved to be capable of innovation, since like the projects described in the two previous documents, the device treated in PI0203364 also did not provide its use forming a system, where each unit of that device could be connected sequentially to two other identical units.

[018] Also in the case of the device treated in PI0203364 there was no possibility that the electrical supply could be passed from one unit to the next.

OBJECTIVES OF THE INNOVATION [019] In view of the state of the art described above

Petition 870170029834, of 05/05/2017, p. 7/20

5/13 is one of the objectives of this Utility Model Patent application to provide a device for the transmission of advertising images that presents a different arrangement of its components, resulting in an innovative object in its functioning systematics and also regarding its way of use.

[020] The device treated here has as main objective to represent a technically simple alternative, with high functionality, which can be produced on a large scale with relatively low cost.

[021] The device treated here allows a unit of the same to be connected to other units connected sequentially so that the electrical supply can be passed from one unit to the others and so on.

[022] The device now treated innovates in the face of adopting a flexible tube as part of its structure, and such flexible tube connects the base and the frame where one or two units of a motor / reducer assembly are mounted in the latter.

[023] Each motor / reducer set is used to rotate a disk that serves as a support for the advertising image to be conveyed.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INNOVATION [024] Based on the current state of the art, the device for the delivery of advertising images was developed, which is defined by a lower base, from which a flexible pipe sector vertically upwards, which, at its end upper part is connected to a housing that can house one or two units of a motor / reducer assembly used to rotate the respective discs that act as a surface where the advertising image is properly

6/13 printed.

[025] The flexible tube serves as a passage for the electrical wiring that feeds the motor / reducer assembly or assemblies.

[026] The base of the device in question has a switch, as well as an electrical connector that can receive a plug from a power cable from another unit of the same device for displaying advertising images.

[027] The device now treated can be used to form a system of fully interconnected devices and make up a set of devices.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INNOVATION [029] In accordance with what the above figures illustrate, the device for serving advertising images described here and which is indicated by the numerical reference 1 has its structure defined by a base 2, from which part, vertically upwards , a flexible tube 3, at the end of which a frame 4 is mounted, within which it is

Petition 870170029834, of 05/05/2017, p. 10/20

8/13 time, a motor / reducer assembly 5.

[030] An axis 6 is attached to the motor / reducer assembly 5 to which a terminal 7 is attached, which comprises a discoid base 8, which in turn receives the assembly of a disk 9, on whose face 10 an advertising message can be printed P, part of an advertising message P (composing a whole with other graphic elements, etc.) or any other visual resource capable of attracting the attention of a likely consumer.

[031] The base 2 of the device 1 treated here is defined as a compartment 11 closed by an upper cover 12, which serves as a mounting surface for the lower end of the flexible tube 3.

[032] The compartment 11 of the base 2 receives the assembly of a switch 13, through which the motor / reducer assembly 5 can be activated or deactivated, and the said compartment 11 also receives the assembly of an electrical connector

14.

[033] A power cable 15 provided with a plug at its end has its opposite end inserted in compartment 11 where it is electrically connected simultaneously to both switch 13 and also to the electrical connector 14.

[034] Departing from compartment 11, the power cable 17 rises, internally and along the flexible tube 3, which enters the frame 4 in which the motor / reducer assembly 5 is internally mounted, the said power cable being then connected to electrical contacts 18 of said motor / reducer assembly 5 (only one of the two contacts can be seen in figure 4).

Petition 870170029834, of 05/05/2017, p. 11/20

9/13 [035] The electrical connector 14 mounted in the compartment 11 that configures the base 2 allows a unit of the device 1 treated here to be connected to a second unit of the same exhibitor and this, in turn, can then be sequentially connected to a third unit, as shown schematically in figure 5.

[036] The same figure 5 shows that a power cable 19 is used to supply electrical power to the set of three units of device 1 treated here, the cable being provided, for such use, with a connector 14A that must reproduce the connector 14 at one of its ends, while at its opposite end a standard plug 20 is provided. The same power cable 19 can also be used to power a single unit of device 1.

[037] The housing 4 is also defined as a compartment analogous to the compartment 11 that defines the base 2, but which is particularly indicated by the numerical reference 21, such compartment 21 being closed by a cover 22, which is crossed by the axis 6 of the motor / reducer assembly 5.

[038] The flexible tube 3 allows the frame 4, where the motor / reducer assembly 5 is mounted, to be positioned in different ways and maintained in the desired position so that the disc 9 can be kept rotating in a specific position.

[039] Frame 4 can receive both one unit of the motor / reducer set 5 as well as two units of the same motor / reducer set 5, as can be better understood by looking at figures 6, 7 and 8.

[040] Figure 8 shows the fact that

Petition 870170029834, of 05/05/2017, p. 12/20

10/13 that inside the housing 21 of the housing 4 there is arranged an assembly part 23 which is defined as a body with an essentially cylindrical external section and which has a niche 24 with a tubular configuration of circular cross section, which inferiorly has an opening or 25 through which the contacts 18 of the two motor / reducer assemblies 5 are projected.

[041] In the case of the assembly shown in figure 8, not only the cover 22 of the housing 4 has an opening 26, for the passage of the axis 6 of one of the motor / reducer assemblies 5, but also the bottom wall 27 of the said housing presents also an equal opening 26 so that the second unit of the motor / reducer assembly 5 can have its axis 6 traversed by it.

[042] In the case of the modality depicted in figures 6, 7 and 8 the two discs 9 can be rotated independently, thus creating an even greater attractive effect on the consuming public.

[043] The present device 1 can also be used in alternative ways, such as the one depicted in figures 9 and 10, and in figure 9 device 1 can be mounted vertically pending on a T roof, which can be, for example , a plaster ceiling or other similar structure.

[044] In figure 9 it can be seen that a mounting disc 28 is provided against which the bottom face 29 of the base 2 can be fixed, which can, for example, be glued using a double-sided adhesive sector 30.

Petition 870170029834, of 05/05/2017, p. 13/20

11/13 [045] The mounting disc 28 can then be fixed using screws 31 and dowels 32, the latter being previously inserted into holes 33 opened in the surface of the T ceiling.

[046] Another alternative use of device 1 is shown in figure 10, where said device 1 can be seen in relative positioning, for example, on the top C of a vehicle V.

[047] In the mentioned figure 10, a soft fabric disk 34 is provided that can be produced in velvet, felt, or other material that proves to be suitable, and on that soft fabric disk 34 a magnetic disk 35 is then produced. ferrite, on which is attached a disk 36 that can be produced, for example, in plastic, and it is on that plastic disk 36 that the base 2 of device 1 is fixed, using, for example, a sector of double-sided adhesive 30.

[048] As can be easily seen, the device for displaying advertising images object of this Utility Model patent application presents a simple design solution, with a high capacity to be used as an agent to attract and capture the attention of the consuming public. .
