L'installation comporte une minuterie programmable (12) sur 24 heures qui attribue les fonctions jour/nuit, le jour elle allume la cellule photo-électrique (9) dont le rayon infra-rouge est renvoyé par un réflecteur (14) qui se trouve sur un bus vis-à-vis de l'abri-bus; la cellule est reliée à un temporisateur électronique (8) qui allume et éteint l'éclairage (2) à une certaine cadence le jour; lorsqu'il est allumé l'éclairage permet de voir l'affiche qui est insérée dans un coffrage (10 et 16) et lorsqu'il est éteint garde au film adhésif (1) son aspect miroir. Un autre miroir (3) sera placé en face du coffrage (10) afin de refléter l'image de l'affiche lorsque l'éclairage est allumé. Ce dispositif est plus particulièrement destiné à toutes sortes de panneaux d'information et plublicitaire ainsi qu'aux abri-bus.This installation is used to promote or revalue products and services of all kinds through a new form of visualization, which intervenes by time delay. The installation includes a programmable timer (12) over 24 hours which assigns the day / night functions, during the day it turns on the photoelectric cell (9) whose infrared ray is reflected by a reflector (14) which is located on a bus opposite the bus shelter; the cell is connected to an electronic timer (8) which turns the lighting (2) on and off at a certain rate during the day; when it is switched on, the lighting makes it possible to see the poster which is inserted in a formwork (10 and 16) and when it is switched off keeps the adhesive film (1) its mirror appearance. Another mirror (3) will be placed in front of the formwork (10) to reflect the image of the poster when the lighting is on. This device is more particularly intended for all kinds of information and publicity panels as well as for bus shelters.

Description

Image display device This installation is used to promote or enhance. products and services, of all kinds, through a new form of visualization, which, visualization takes place by time delay, because the neon lights are lit and thus let appear the image inserted in the coff-rage at through the mirror film, thus allowing this image to be reflected in a second mirror placed in front of the formwork at a projection angle, allowing observers coming in the opposite direction of the illuminated diffusion, to see the said projected image or else due to the fact that the neon lights are extinguished, and that then the film regains its mirror function. The aim of this is to create an instant effect of surprise and thereby a renewed attention.

The structure, in itself, of the installation known aujou-d'hui of the bus shelter and advertising panels is not called into question here. It is a question of bringing new materials to the installation, additional advantages. On the one hand, the safety side which is improved by the contribution of the mirror-like adhesive film that is affixed to the windows, in fact, glass breakage, whether accidental or due to vandalism, can prove to be dangerous. Of course, the film will not prevent the glass from being broken in some cases, but it will prevent debris from being thrown and spread on the sidewalk and roadway. This is intended to offer a security similar to the laminated windshields of cars in addition to its mirror appearance.

On the other hand, the notion of energy saving is not negligible. Indeed, in addition to the frequency of maintenance due to the change of lighting which is less, in addition these same lighting allow a significant energy saving, said installation allowing a new form of instantaneous and timed visualization of the advertising display and of the information is characterized in that it comprises a programmable timer over 24 hours which assigns the day / night functions of the electrical installation. During the day, it activates the photoelectric cell, the infrared ray of which is returned by a reflector and connected to the electronic timer which turns the lighting on and off at a certain rate during the day, lighting which when turned on allows to see the poster inserted in the formwork and when it is. when switched off, the adhesive film retains its mirrored appearance. A mirror will also be placed in front of the formwork where the poster is inserted in order to receive its image in projection. The timer (example of the Landis and Gyr type) is programmed for 24 hours in order to be able to switch on the photoelectric cell and the electronic timer during the day and, at night, to stop their operation and allow the lighting to be switched on, including the ceiling light until the timer restarts the photoelectric cell and the electronic timer, both of which have the function of turning on the lighting during the day at given times, but in a different way. Indeed, the electronic timer allows thanks to its incorporated memory to program in advance the times when it will turn on the lighting and thus cancel the mirror effect of the adhesive films to let the poster appear. The photoelectric cell, when it allows when the lighting is off, so is not controlled by the electroric temporisât-eur and a bus passes (in the case of bus shelters), d '' turn on this lighting in two ways, either thanks to an infrared ray emitted by a cell and returned by a reflector, yes is a metallized adhesive tape placed on the bus opposite the bus shelter, or well, by simply reducing the light intensity due to the passage of the bus in front of another kind of cell. Done, this fluorine gas lighting has the function of canceling the mirror effect of the adhesive films affixed to the panes of the formwork where the posters are inserted which provide greater security in the event of glass breakage. In addition, the lighting brings certain advantages such as energy saving, and requires less maintenance than the previous lighting due to the instantaneous electronic ignition which is done thanks to ballas-ts and starters. electroriques, in addition their brightness is higher (4700 to 5200 lumen per tube), which makes it easier to neutralize the mirror effect due to the adhesive films during the day. The mirror placed in front of the formwork, allow, thanks to its orientation in relation to. the nosition of the said shuttering, to return the image of the poster so that people coming in the opposite direction from the other side of the chsussée can also see this image, moreover, as the surface of this mirror is less than that of the poster which is nevertheless reflected in its totality thanks to the orientation of the said mirror, it will not hinder the circulation nor the vision of the poster inserted in the co-ffrage.

Figure I shows a front view of the installation in a bus shelter comprising: a timer (12) programmable over 24 hours distributing the day / night functions, during the day it activates the photoelectric cell (9) which intervenes when a bus passes, connected to an electronic timer (8) which turns the lighting (2) on and off at a certain rate during the day. The photocell (9), the timer (12) and the electronic timer (8) are placed in the ceiling light (11). The lighting is placed behind the diffusing white plastic plates (6), when it is turned on it allows to see the poster (7) which is then reflected in the mirror (3) placed in front of the formwork ( 10), this mirror may consist of film, mirror-like adhesive (1) inserted between two panes (5) (or simply of a real mirror). When the lighting is off, it retains the adhesive film (1) whether it is the one inserted in the formwork (10) and applied to a window (4) or that of the mirror (3), its mirror appearance. At night, the timer (12) cuts the hoto-electric cell (9) and the electronic timer (8) in order to leave the lighting (2) on as well as that of the ceiling light (13).
