Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvements applicable to dynamic numbering devices for price indicators, parlour games, calendars and similar applications designed to provide a non-disposable, i.e. a permanent, numbering device devoid of loose parts and which furthermore offers a better view of the number being displayed.
  • numbering devices are known to consist of basic parts made of Bristol board or cardboard and which use sets of bars forming an "8" of a colour contrasting with that of the base part, generally white and black, respectively.
  • the numbers are made up by painting the bars the same colour as the base.
  • the improvements of the invention are applicable to numbering devices with housings arranged to form an "8", although they also provide several features which solve the foregoing problems.
  • the numbering device deriving from the improvements of the present invention is a permanent dynamic numbering device wherein the indicating means are mounted and kept in position in housings provided in the base part, said indicating means being movable and fitted with selectively enabled contrasting chromatic bands and allowing for changes in the numbering device digits through various combinations of the chromatic bands in the movable indicator means.
  • the parts comprising the indicator means cannot be lost since they are held in place by resilient fastening means; furthermore, falling off as a result of wear is prevented.
  • the indicator means may be rotationally movable, allowing for the installation of multiple chromatic bands of various colours, or they may be movable in a straight line, so that the price numbers are subject to as many changes as are necessary and are composed of as many colours as chromatic bands are included in the movable indicator means.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a dynamic numbering device performed according to the object of the present invention, showing the rotational indicators inserted in the housings and arranged to form of an "8".
  • Figure 1A is another perspective view of the dynamic numbering device shown in the previous figure, illustrating the rotational movement of the indicator means which, when rotating, establish the chromatic change and define the number to be shaped.
  • Figure 2 is a cross-section detail of part of the rotational indicator, which, on being activated by the operator, rotates in the housing provided for that purpose in the corresponding base part.
  • Figure 3 is a view similar to that shown in figure 1, although the indicator means exhibit their chromatic band as having the same colour as the base part.
  • Figure 4 is a general perspective view of a rotational indicator means showing its formation and the two contrasting chromatic bands.
  • Figures 4A, 4B and 4C are respective end views of a rotational indicator means similar to the one shown in figure 4, although provided with two, three and four contrasting chromatic bands, respectively.
  • Figure 5 is a general perspective view of a dynamic numbering device in which the indicator means move in a straight line and are inserted in the corresponding housings, also forming an "8".
  • Figure 6 is a view of the dynamic numbering device shown in the previous figure, illustrating the straight line movement of the indicator means.
  • Figure 7 is a view similar to the one shown in figure 5, although with some of the indicator means exhibiting their chromatic band in contrast with the base part.
  • figure 8 is a cross-section detail view of the indicator means shown in figures 5, 6 and 7, said indicator means being activated by the operator and moving in a straight line within the housing in the base part.
  • the dynamic numbering device is seen to be structured from a base part (1) provided with housings (2) constructed in such a manner that between them they form a figure "8", as shown clearly in figures 1, 2 and 3, each of said housings corresponding to an Arabic numeral digit.
  • housings (2) constructed in such a manner that between them they form a figure "8", as shown clearly in figures 1, 2 and 3, each of said housings corresponding to an Arabic numeral digit.
  • indicator means (3) fitted with contrasting and selectively enabled chromatic bands (4) and (5), at least one of said chromatic bands (4) presenting the same appearance and colour as that of the base part (1) surface.
  • Each indicator means (3) is mounted to be rotationally movable, for which purpose the housings (2) define an elongated cavity of a curving shape, while the indicator means (3) are cylindrically shaped with pointing or conical ends (6) and are secured in the housings (2) by flexible fastening means (7), as shown in figure 2, their removal being thus impaired although their rotational movement is allowed in order to alternatively expose the various contrasting faces or chromatic faces, these being light-dark, bright-dull, or a chromatic band.
  • Figures 1A and 2 show the indicator means (3) with two chromatic bands (4) and (5) performed in a longitudinal direction and having a contrasting appearance and colour so that one of said bands, as previously stated, has the same appearance and colour as the surface of the base part (1), in order that, when they coincide, their colouring mingles and the presence of the indicator means passes unnoticed, whereas when the chromatic band (5) of the indicator means (3) has an appearance and colour contrasting with the chromatic band of the surface of the base part (1), the difference between both surfaces is clearly evident.
  • Figures 4A, 4B and 4C illustrate the indicator means (3), which includes two chromatic and longitudinal bands (4) and (5), three longitudinal bands (4), (5) and (5'), or four chromatic bands (4), (5), (5') and (5''), respectively, in a manner that in each of these cases the respective housing (2) acquires a shape that is complementary with the indicator means (3), i.e. the housings (2) are of various sizes, depending on the width of the chromatic bands (4), (5), (5') and (5''). Therefore, the more chromatic bands in the indicator means (3), the narrower the opening of the corresponding housing (2) will have to be so that the longitudinal edges of the positioned chromatic band itself coincide with the longitudinal edges of the opening in housing (2).
  • the indicator means (3') is arranged in the corresponding housing (2') of the base part (1'), in this case, characteristic in that the indicator means (3') is an elongated, flat, rectangular part movable inside the corresponding housing (2') and having a manually operated protrusion (8), movable by finger (9) pressure, said protrusion (8) acting on a window or groove (10) provided for that purpose on the base plate (1'), the ends of the window or groove (10) providing a limit to the movement of the indicator means (3'), the length of the latter being greater than that of the window or groove (10).
  • the indicator means (3') is fitted with a front chromatic band which may be in contrast with the chromatic band corresponding to base part (1'), the chromatic band of the indicator means (3') furthermore having the same appearance and colour as that of the surface corresponding to the bottom (11) of the housing (2').
  • the rotationally movable indicator means (3) are secured in their corresponding housings (2) by flexible fasteners (7) and are allowed rotational movement.
  • Each indicator means (3) is provided with at least two different chromatic bands (4) and (5) which are liable to be rotatingly and selectively enabled, and, since additionally the appearance and colour of the chromatic band (4) is the same as that of the base part (1) surface, various combinations are possible whereby, while some indicator means (3) are in contrast with the base part (1), others blend with it.
  • housing (2) arrangements which form an "8" figure allow the operator (9) to form various Arabic numeral digits, each digit corresponding to a specific combination of the chromatic bands (4) and (5) and their indicator means (3).
  • each rotational indicator means (3) is provided with more than two chromatic bands, selectively enabled and of different colours, like the case illustrated in figures 4B and 4C, the operator is able to compose the digits of the dynamic numbering device using as many colours as contrasting chromatic bands are provided in each indicator means (3).
  • the straight-line movable indicator means (3') is fitted with a front contrasting chromatic band which is visible through window (10) providing access to housing (2'), the digits being composed simply by moving each indicator means (3') in a straight line by pressing on the protrusion or extension (8) thereon.
  • the operator (9) is able to select the alternative position, in which the indicator means (3') is covered by the front wall of base part (1'), so that, through the opening or window (10), the bottom surface (11) of housing (2') can be perceived to have the same colour or texture as the surface of base part (1').
  • digits may be conformed by combining different positions of the indicator means (3').
  • the dynamic numbering device described herein may present different structures allowing parlour games to be composed, particularly in the case of rotating indicator means (3) fitted with several chromatic bands (5), (5'), (5'') of various contrasting colours. Based on this same principle, the dynamic numbering device may be used to selectively enable the numbers in a calendar.
