Definitions

  • the present invention relates to animated media, carrying a matrix of patterns allowing the dissemination of various information using an alphanumeric message.
  • This efficient system has a major drawback with regard to maintenance and repair.
  • the devices according to the invention are content with low maintenance (verification of micro-motors), the display is split into independent modular elements, easily interchangeable in the event of a fault, grouping sensitive or lateral elements in the lateral or lower part and allowing identification and rapid repair of a fault.
  • the devices which are the subject of the invention break down each digit or each letter into vertical or horizontal segments.
  • the display element (number or letter) is divided into segments, each optionally divided into a number of sub-segments bearing patterns, the number being a function of the desired dimension.
  • the sub-segment is a mechanical element which, in its simplest form, could be a tube or a prism (metallic, PVC, etc.), the pattern being attached or printed on this sub-segment.
  • the assembly of several tubes in a transparent core, animated in an identical way can constitute a segment.
  • the device has a fairly small and almost constant thickness, its segment-sub-segment structure allows simple implementation and troubleshooting, the motor assembly is located for example in the lower part and easily removable.
  • the drive mechanism generally located outside, in a sealed enclosure, can be returned inside a building (tall tower) by a simple mechanical connection allowing easy access to the mechanism for the maintenance or repair.
  • the display elements which are very legible during the day, as they present a drawn and contrasted image, will be visible at night thanks to simple lighting by spotlights or other.
  • the system presented may find its use for various display in certain public or private places: stations, terminals, exhibitions, congresses, stadiums, shows, holidays ...
  • the device also finds a simple application in the field of educational toys, in fact, the segments will consist of prisms that can rotate around a vertical axis, the sub-segments will also be carried by horizontally oriented prisms occupying the three faces of the prism carrier, so the user can search among many combinations, numbers, letters of the alphabet, or any other puzzle.
  • the horizontal decomposition reduces the number of patterns and simplifies the mechanism.
  • the display element is divided into segments of variable height, each segment is itself composed of two sub-segments, of equal or different dimensions, assembled along a longitudinal axis.
  • a displacement generally spoke in rotation
  • a displacement can be different, identical or zero between the two sub-segments (+ 120 °, - 120 ° or 0 ° for a prism with three faces).
  • the device has a fairly small and almost constant thickness whatever the height. Indeed, for a clock whose height of the figure is 35 cm, its thickness will not exceed 3 cm; for 2 m in height, the thickness will be around 7 cm.
  • the two positions are obtained either by a 180 ° rotation of the profile, flap or pallet, or by a slight translation of the rule inside its cell or the strip printed on its drum. In cases with three positions, as we said, it is + 120 °, 0 ° or -120 °.
  • the segments, carrying the display, are very legible by day because they present a drawn and contrasted image, their protection inside a waterproof enclosure is not necessary because the materials used are known in the industry and are not sensitive to atmospheric agents.
  • the drive mechanism will be protected and can be returned inside a building (tall tower) using a simple mechanical connection allowing easy access to the mechanism. for maintenance or repair.
  • Night vision will also be effective because the segments will be provided with a coating reflecting the light transmitted by direct lighting or transmitting their message by transparency using indirect lighting.
  • the system presented may find its use for digital display in all its forms in certain public or private places: stations, stadiums, road signs, stock exchange, etc. as well as the display of letters from the 'alphabet.
  • the sub-segment shown in Figure 1 consists of two concentric cylindrical tubes 1 and 2.
  • the outer tube 1, carrying four patterns 3, has a light equal to 1 / 5th of its circumference, revealing the inner tube 2 which is carrying five patterns 3.
  • the segment represented in FIG. 3 constituting the 1 / 7th of the number or the letter is composed of six sub-segments 8 which all pivot in an identical manner in the same segment.
  • the rotational movement is transmitted to the tubes, by means of a rack 9 to a series of bevel gears 10, the rotation must have a determined angle for each segment in order to display in general seven different images constituting the number or the letter .
  • the angle of rotation equal to K x 72 °, (K varying from 0 to 5) is obtained by a more or less significant vertical displacement of the rack which is guided inside a rail 11 fixed over the entire height of the display element.
  • the segment shown in Figure 4 is a mechanically simple assembly, the elements of which are incorporated in a molded block 12 made of a transparent material.
  • prismatic mirrors 13 are available between each sub-segment 8, the displayed image then having no discontinuity.
  • Brushes 14 fixed on the inner tubes 2 allow the self-cleaning of the transparent block during rotations.
  • the support block 12 receives in its non-visible part mini-heating resistors 128 intended to dissipate any condensation or frost.
  • the alphanumeric display has two different drives, each element has two completely identical rack control systems.
  • the message is communicated electrically to each electromagnet. If the rack is immobilized at electro-almant n ° 3 and it has to go to n ° 5 it will move under the effect of its own weight. Otherwise, the immobilized rack with electromagnet n ° 3 and having to go to electromagnet n ° 1, will drop until contact 18 placed at the foot of the rail allowing the electromagnet 20 to push the drive head 16 onto the belt 17, the rack goes up inside the rail to the contact 19 which cuts the electromagnet n 0 1 (20) which releases the rack inside the rail until the contact with the electromagnet n ° 1.
  • the sub-segment 26 consists of a prism carrying three patterns which can rotate along a horizontal axis 27.
  • the association of three sub-segments constitute a segment 28 which is, therefore, carrying nine patterns as stated in the general principle.
  • the segment is a prismatic box, consisting of two parallel plates 29 connected by means of three supports 30, the faces 29 connected by means of three supports 30, the lateral faces being made up of the three sub-segments 26.
  • the association of several segments, which can operate a rotation along a common vertical axis 31 is necessary in order to obtain the letter or the number sought.
  • the sub-segment only consists of a single tube 32 carrying five patterns 3.
  • the segment 22 is arranged vertically, the control of the rotation of the sub-segments is simplified by using at the foot of each segment a micro-motor 33 operating step by step according to the orders transmitted by an analyzer which counts the pulses electrics transmitted by the master clock.
  • a segment 101 can have three different structures.
  • Type 1 (fig. 17) is a combination of two sub-segments 102 on a single longitudinal axis; it is the basic segment whose height is equal to 1 / 7th of the height of the number
  • type 2 (fig. 16) shows a segment 101 having a double height compared to the basic segment; it is therefore divided into two equal parts 103 animated simultaneously and also composed of two sub-segments 102.
  • Type 3 shows a segment 101 without decomposition into sub-segments.
  • segments 101 to 104 are each composed of two sub-segments carrying the motif 104.
  • the segment 105 is not broken down into sub-segments but nevertheless carries 10 two motifs 104.
  • These motor elements 105 can be either micro-motors or electromagnets mechanically connected to the sub-segment 102 via a direct mechanical transmission 106 in the case of segments of type 102.
  • Each sub-segment rests on bearings 108 fixed to the chassis 109, the latter are independent for each row equal to 1/76 of the height, this independence being both mechanical and electrical; they are easily interchangeable racks c l ui are fixed on different supports using clips.
  • These supports can be, for example, a metal structure or a masonry wall.
  • Another embodiment of the invention allows passage inside a mast of the wiring between the motor elements located in the upper part and the time programming device located in the lower part which is therefore easily accessible.
  • This device can be clock specific, or belong to an urban network or even receive and analyze time codes from the public network.
  • FIG. 23 represents a study of graphics and its decomposition in accordance with the invention. It will be noted at the outset that this example of decomposition into thirty-one elements allows great flexibility and a very shallow depth even for characters of very high height. In addition, if FIG. 23 represents straight characters, they can be made italic either by changing the patterns or by a simple and slight horizontal offset of the various elements with respect to each other.
  • FIG. 23A represents a figure eight decomposed into thirty-one segments of which the upper eighteen and the lower five are each decomposed into two sub-segments all prismatic with three faces, the eight intermediate segments being decomposed each into two sub-segments, those on the right being prismatic with three faces, those on the left can be limited to two faces.
  • each series of sub-segments of each series of segments can be driven by a common motor.
  • FIG. 23A refers to thirty-one segments, it is conceivable that it can be broken down into a different number, for example into seven (FIG. 23B). This makes it easy to display numbers and letters.
