Definitions

  • the invention relates to a display device for posters or other image information with alternating displays, the device consisting of a plurality of triangular prisms arranged parallel to one another and rotatable about their longitudinal axis, these prisms mounted at both ends in a frame, connected on one side to a drive and with interior lighting are equipped and have translucent lateral surfaces, when the information is displayed one of the lateral surfaces of all prisms lies in a common plane and the longitudinal edges of these lateral surfaces abut one another, and each lateral surface of each prism bears a partial area of the image information to be displayed.
  • DE-27 36 866-A1 shows such a device in which a number of triangular prisms are arranged parallel to one another and are supported and supported in a frame. One of the sides of each prism bears part of an overall image, so that if the prism sides are correctly assigned to one another, a complete image is presented.
  • the prisms used here are made of aluminum profile, and the information to be displayed in the form of pictures, posters or other picture information is glued to the outer surfaces of these aluminum prisms or applied in a known manner.
  • the prisms are provided at both ends with trunnions which are mounted in the frame of the device.
  • the lower journals are equipped with pinions, which are driven by timing belts.
  • All prisms are connected to each other via a plurality of toothed belts in such a way that they can all be rotated simultaneously and synchronously around their longitudinal axes with a central drive.
  • Corresponding known devices ensure that the drive is stopped in the desired positions and that the mating surfaces of all the prisms are located in a common plane.
  • Display devices of this type can only be used in daylight or must be illuminated from the outside with light spots. In view of the relatively high cost of such image presentation devices, additional lighting is often desired so that the information can be recognized even in poor daylight or at night. Illuminating the image area from the front is relatively complex, and in many cases the image is unevenly or even incompletely illuminated.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a display device for posters or other image information with rotatable prisms, in which the prisms are illuminated from the inside and the illumination is uniform over the entire length of the prism, while the prisms are still easy to install and remove , and the storage of the prisms at both ends enable a fine adjustment of the prism position with respect to the longitudinal axis and the bearings have a great smoothness and long life. Furthermore, it should be possible to easily replace the lighting fixtures arranged inside the prisms and the prisms.
  • the fluorescent tube is dimensioned so long that it passes through the bearings at both ends and the two ends of the fluorescent tube protrude from the bearings.
  • the ends of the fluorescent tubes which are provided with the contact connections, and the two end regions, which are normally darker than the other regions of the tube, are in the region of the bearings and not in the region of the prism lateral surfaces to be illuminated. This has the great advantage that the prism surfaces are completely and evenly illuminated over the entire length, resulting in excellent brilliance and quality of the image presentation.
  • the support of the prisms on the lower bearing and the displaceability of the rotatable bearing part connected to the upper end of the prisms relative to the fixed bearing part enables the inclusion and compensation of changes in length of the prisms due to temperature changes.
  • the prisms are driven in a known manner with a toothed belt drive and a central drive element. However, this drive can be replaced by other known drive means without slippage.
  • the adjustment of the prisms to the desired position is carried out by the adjusting devices on the bearing at one end of the prisms, the means for the rough adjustment being formed by the fact that with the Bearing connected gear is brought into engagement with the toothed belt in a first rough positioning.
  • the means for the fine adjustment consist of mutually rotatable clamping and adjusting rings, which enable a continuous adjustment of the position of the prisms with respect to the longitudinal axis at least in the area of a tooth pitch of the toothed belt drive.
  • This arrangement has the advantage that the associated lateral surfaces of all prisms can be aligned precisely on one plane in a predetermined holding position and the image information to be presented is thereby presented as a flat surface.
  • the setting can be carried out quickly and easily without the need for complicated installation and removal of drive elements.
  • Another advantage of the device is that the arrangement of the bearings with the adjusting devices, the drive devices and the fixed plug-in couplings for the fluorescent tubes on an expandable support means that these elements can be installed or removed as a complete unit from the display device.
  • the entire drive can be set, maintained and adjusted outside the display device, or in the event of defects, the display device can be made functional again in a very short time by exchanging this carrier.
  • a single prism can also be expediently removed from the device, since the electrical connections of the interior lighting are easily detachable and the fluorescent tube arranged as interior lighting in the prism is removed together with the prism.
  • the passages in the bearings of the prisms are designed to such an extent that the fluorescent tube in the prism is withdrawn from a bearing and inclined within the prism, and then the prism is released from the positive connection with the driven bearings and lifted out of the device.
  • the display device according to the invention shown in FIG. 1 consists of a housing 45, a front cover 46 and a multiplicity of triangular prisms 1 arranged parallel to one another. Only the right-hand part of a display device is shown in the figure, the rest is cut away, and to simplify this are also foremost prism and the associated interior lighting omitted.
  • the display device shown has fifteen prisms arranged parallel to one another over the entire length, not shown, which can all be rotated together and synchronously about their longitudinal axes 2.
  • the prisms 1 are mounted at the upper end 3 and at the lower end 4 in a frame 5, or carrier 6.
  • bearings 13 are arranged at the upper end 3 of the prisms 13 and bearings 14 at the lower end 4 of the prisms.
  • the upper bearings 13 are supported and fastened on the frame 5, and the lower bearings 14 on the carrier 6. Both the upper bearing 13 and the lower bearing 14 have central passages 15 and 16, respectively, through which a fluorescent tube 8 is guided.
  • the carrier 6 is detachably attached to a holding plate 27 of the housing 45 and can be removed from the housing 45. On the lower part of the carrier 6 there are holding brackets 28, on which electrical plug-in couplings 23 are fastened for receiving one end of the fluorescent tubes 8. These plug-in couplings 23 are connected to electrical supply lines 24 for the energy supply of the fluorescent tubes 8.
  • a flexible electrical supply line 26 is provided on the frame 5 for each prism 1, at the end of which there is also a plug-in coupling 25 for connection to the end of the fluorescent tube 8.
  • the prisms 1 have a cross section which corresponds to an equilateral triangle and consist of translucent acrylic glass.
  • the lateral surfaces 9 and 10 and the invisible third lateral surface carry image information, which are, for example, sections of an overall image, this image information being arranged on paper or another suitable carrier.
  • the individual image strips are fastened to the lateral surfaces 9, 10 with the aid of appropriate holders or other known fastening means.
  • the image strips located on the lateral surface 9 of all prisms 1 in the illustrated example combine to form an overall image as soon as all lateral surfaces 9 lie in a common plane.
  • the longitudinal edges 11, 12 of adjacent lateral surfaces 9 are as close as possible to one another in order to produce a closed image.
  • All prisms 1 are connected to the drive 7 via the bearings 14 and a toothed belt drive and can be rotated through 120 ° about the longitudinal axes 2 by means of a corresponding control, not shown. A different image can be presented with each rotation.
  • the front cover 46 of the housing 45 can be pivoted upward about the pivot axis 49, or foldable. This makes the prisms 1 and the corresponding drive and bearing devices accessible.
  • An optically transparent plate 47 for example made of reflection-free glass, is installed in the front cover 46 and exposes the area of the lateral surfaces 9 of all prisms 1.
  • the front cover 46 is opened up about the pivot axis 49, only the upper part being shown and the rest being cut away in the illustration.
  • the fluorescent tube 8 arranged in the interior of the cut prism 1 extends through the central passages in the bearings 13 and 14.
  • the lower end 22 of the fluorescent tube 8 is coupled to the plug-in coupling 23 and is thus firmly supported on the holding bracket 28.
  • the upper end 21 of the fluorescent tube 8 also protrudes from the upper bearing 13, but is not held firmly here, but is freely movable within the central passage of the bearing 13.
  • the plug-in coupling 25, which is connected to the flexible electrical lead 26, is attached.
  • the fluorescent tube 8 is therefore not influenced in the event of any length changes of the prisms 1 or in the case of deformations of the housing 45, since it is only supported on the holding bracket 28 and is otherwise freely movable.
  • the prism 1 rests on the bearing 14 at the lower end 4 and is coupled to the rotatable part 20 of the bearing 14 via driver pins 36.
  • the rotatable part 20, which is connected to the prism 1 is mounted on a fixed part 19, this fixed part 19 being fastened to the carrier 6.
  • the upper end 3 of the prism 1 is movable in the direction of the longitudinal axis 2, so that changes in the length of the prism have no effect on its mounting.
  • the upper bearing 13 has a part 17 which is detachably attached to the frame 5.
  • This part 17 can be attached to the frame 5 either by fixed connections such as screws or by releasable connections such as spring clips or a bayonet lock or other suitable means.
  • the rotatable part 18 of the bearing 13 is fastened to the upper end 3 of the prism 1 and rotatable about the lower region of the part 17 of the bearing 13.
  • a prism 1 or a fluorescent tube 8 is installed or removed in such a way that the front cover 46 is first opened in the direction of the arrows 48 and the electrical plug-in coupling 25 is then released. Then the part 17 of the bearing 13 is released and pulled out of the upper end 3 of the prism 1 and out of the frame 5.
  • the prism 1 can be moved out of the carrier pin 36 by slight shifting upwards and lifted out of the carrier 6 by swiveling forward and then moving downward.
  • the prism 1 By moving the prism 1 further down, the upper end 21 of the fluorescent tube 8 is also pulled out of the frame 5, and the entire prism is detached from the device.
  • the installation process is carried out in the opposite way.
  • a bearing 14 of the prisms 1 is shown with an adjusting device.
  • This bearing 14 consists of a fixed part 19 which is attached to the base plate of the carrier 6.
  • a gear 30 is mounted via two bearings 32, 33, which meshes with a toothed belt 31.
  • the upper end 39 of the gear 30 is designed as a clamping ring 34 which has an annular groove 40 in which an adjusting ring 35 is rotatably mounted.
  • This adjusting ring 35 forms the rotatable part 20 of the bearing 14.
  • Clamping screws 38 are arranged on the clamping ring 34, by means of which the adjusting ring 35 can be clamped in the groove 40.
  • the central passage 16 for the fluorescent tube 8 extends through the entire bearing 14. The diameter of this central passage 16 is dimensioned such that all the intended movements of the fluorescent tube 8 are possible.
  • the toothed belt 31 is connected to the drive unit 7 shown in Figures 1 and 2, and there are additional tensioning devices, not shown.
  • the position of the teeth on the toothed belt is predetermined by the engagement in the drive wheel on the drive 7.
  • the rough adjustment of the prisms 1 is now carried out in such a way that the toothed wheel 30 is brought into engagement with the toothed belt 31 in the position closest to the desired position.
  • Gear 30 and toothed belt 31 form the first means for adjusting the prism position.
  • the fine adjustment is now carried out in such a way that the clamping screws 38 are loosened and the adjusting rings 35 are rotated relative to the clamping rings 34 about the axis 2 until the lateral surfaces 9 of the prisms 1 are aligned precisely in one plane.
  • the adjusting rings 35 are fixed and thus the position of all the prisms 1 With reference to the common drive on the toothed belt 31 exactly held.
  • the clamping ring 34 and the adjusting ring 35 form the second means for adjusting the prism position.
  • Figure 4 shows the design of the upper end 39 of the gear 30 with the clamping ring 34.
  • This clamping ring 34 is part of the gear 30 and is formed by a radial groove 42 extending transversely to the axis 2.
  • the ring 34 is equipped with a gap 43.
  • the clamping screw 31 is arranged, with which the annular groove 40 can be clamped together.
  • Characterized the adjusting ring 35 is clamped with the three driver pins 36.
