Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multi-message display panel intended in particular to bring to the attention of motorists instructions relating to traffic.
  • the present invention is of course also applicable in any field other than road traffic.
  • display panels usually made up of arrays of light points which are activated according to a given combination so as to constitute a sign or a message. Because of their "digital" nature, the information transmitted by these panels is more difficult to perceive by the user than information provided by conventional display panels.
  • Display panels of the latter type have notable drawbacks.
  • First part it is not possible to go directly from a given message to a new message, except of course if it is two successive messages, which increases the access time from one message to another, this access time being a function of the number and the order of the messages carried by the web.
  • the fact of having to go through a series of intermediate messages to access the desired message does not constitute a major drawback in the field of advertising display, it is not the same when it s 'acts in the field of road traffic. Indeed, in the latter case, the user sometimes having very little time to "pick up" a message, he can take as effective a message which is only transitory, which leads to serious drawbacks in terms of security.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a multi-message display panel allowing direct access to a given display, which is low cost and easy to maintain, and which moreover allows, if the 'the user wishes, to hide a message displayed for the time necessary to change it, which, in the case of a road sign, is a factor in improving safety.
  • the subject of the present invention is a multi-message display panel comprising, on its front face, at least one display sector in which the messages to be displayed are carried by a canvas, characterized in that each display sector comprises several cylinders horizontal canvas storage, extending over the width of the display sector, on which respective fabrics are wound, carrying different messages, in front of each storage cylinder is associated, in the front part of the panel, a roller horizontal return which is parallel to the storage cylinder and which is arranged in the upper part of the display sector, and each canvas from a respective storage cylinder extends towards and on the associated return roller to extend then vertically downwards, from this deflection roller, under the action of a heavy tension bar fixed to the lower end of the canvas, so that the canvas is able to occupy two positions of use, namely a first position, or display position, in which it is deployed vertically in the display sector, and a second position, or retracted position, in which it is wound on its storage cylinder.
  • the heavy tension bar of each fabric comprises means ensuring the vertical guidance of its ends.
  • These vertical guide means may consist of vertical holes provided in the end parts of the tension bars, intended to receive, by sliding, vertical guide elements integral with the panel, consisting for example of rigid vertical rods
  • two detectors are used, for example made up of micro-switches, which are respectively arranged above and below each tension bar weighs, at each of the desired limit switches thereof, namely in the upper part and in the lower part of the display sector, these detectors being connected to servo means controlling the winding and unwinding paintings.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic sectional view along line I-I of Figure 2, a multi-message display panel according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a schematic vertical sectional view of the display panel shown in Figure 1, taken along line II-II thereof.
  • Figures 3 and 4 are schematic views of different types of display obtained with the multi-message display panel according to the invention.
  • Figure 5 is a partial view on a larger scale of a heavy tension bar and guide means according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 6 is a partial view of an end portion of a heavy tension bar, constituting an alternative embodiment of the invention.
  • the display panel comprises a vertical box 1 of parallelepiped shape, closed by a rear bottom 1 a and provided, on its face front, five openings 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e, delimiting five respective display sectors 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 3e.
  • the two upper sectors namely the left sector 3a and the right sector 3b, as well as the two lower sectors, namely the left sector 3d and the right sector 3e, are square in shape.
  • the middle display sector 3c is rectangular in shape and extends over the entire width of the box 1.
  • the arrangement of the upper left part of the box 1 corresponding to the display sector 3a will be described below.
  • To the display area associated device thus comprises three star storage cylinders respectively 5a, 5a 'and 5a''of horizontal axes parallel to the bottom 1a of the housing 1 which are rotatably mounted in the rear part of the box 1, on supports (not shown in the drawing) linked to the vertical side walls 1b of the box 1.
  • the storage cylinders 5a, 5a ', 5a''each extend over a little less than half a width of the box 1.
  • Each of these cylinders is provided with an electric drive motor, preferably a motor of the tubular gearmotor type integrated into the cylinder.
  • This motor is controlled in rotation, in both directions, by control means of any known type, not shown in the drawing.
  • Rolls of reference, 7a, 7a ', 7a''of horizontal axes are associated respectively with the storage cylinders 3a, 3a', 3a '' and they are arranged parallel to these, close to the front face of the box 1, in being mounted on supports fixed to the side walls 1b of this box.
  • Fabrics 8a, 8a ', 8a'', each comprising the sign or the message which it is desired to be able to display in the display sector 3a, are respectively wound on each of the cylinders 5a, 5a', 5a ''.
  • Each fabric extends forward, substantially horizontally, from the storage cylinder, to the deflection roller 7a, 7a ', 7a''which is associated with it, and then is deflected vertically downwards, being maintained in vertical tension under the action of a respective heavy tension bar 9a, 9a ', 9a''attached to its lower end.
  • Discharge lamps 11 mounted on the base 1a of the housing 1 ensure, in the non-limiting embodiment described herein, the transmitted illumination of the fabric which extends vertically in the display area 3a.
  • the fabric closest to the window 2a in sector 3a may not bear any indication, and may be completely opaque. Therefore, it is possible, before exchanging the signs or messages carried by the other two fabrics 8a and 8a ', to hide the display sector 3a using the opaque fabric 8a' ', during the change of sign or message, so that the recipient of the message will not risk being disturbed by the sudden passage from one sign to another, which improves safety.
  • the other display sectors are of identical structure and are provided with a number of storage cylinders and associated return rollers depending on the number of different signs which it is desired to use in a given display sector, and their arrangement. and their operation are identical in all respects to those corresponding to the display sector 3a previously described.
  • the hole 13 is in communication with the end of the heavy tension bar 9 via a V-shaped opening 20 flaring outwards, the walls of which are slightly domed so as to allow the guide rod 12 to be forced into the hole 13 through the opening 20.
  • each end part of a heavy tension bar 9 can be engaged in a vertical section with U-shaped section, integral with the box 1 of the panel.
  • the storage cylinder drive motor 5 can be stopped, both in the rolled up position (upper position of the heavy tension bars 9) and in the deployed position (lower position of the heavy tension bars 9) by detectors, constituted here by microswitches 19 (FIG. 5) which are arranged below the respective heavy tension bars 9, to stop the movement of the fabric downward, and above the tension bars 9, to stop the upward movement thereof.
  • detectors constituted here by microswitches 19 (FIG. 5) which are arranged below the respective heavy tension bars 9, to stop the movement of the fabric downward, and above the tension bars 9, to stop the upward movement thereof.
  • the display panel may of course consist of a single display sector extending over the entire front face of the box 1 closed by a transparent plate and comprising a given number of storage cylinders each equipped with a canvas, each canvas being able to comprise a particular series of messages, distributed in zones determined so as to constitute a multimessage.
  • the messages carried by the fabrics can be illuminated by transparency, by means of the lamps 11 mounted on the bottom 1 a of box 1 of the panel.
  • the messages could also be lit from the front by means of lamps mounted on the front of the vertical side walls 1b.
  • the display panel could also, in certain applications, be devoid of any means of illuminating the messages carried by the fabrics, provided that these messages are sufficiently visible to themselves.
