Description

ADVERTISING VEHICLE

  The subject of the invention relates to the technical sector of visual and mobile advertising, in particular advertising by light land vehicles such as bicycles, mopeds, as well as trailers.

  coupling which can be coupled to such vehicles.

  Utility-type vehicles are especially known which are specially adapted to present advertising on the lateral and / or rear sides by display, as well as the use of light trailers arranged to support display panels of all structures, volumes and dimensions, the said trailers being coupled to bicycles or other vehicles of the same type of all

appropriate ways.

  If this type of advertising is widely used, the billboards on towed trailers or on utility vehicles are all installed on fixed plans that do not arouse the curiosity of the consumer. The common use of this type of advertising means that people do not pay little attention to it, and their purpose

becomes less interesting.

  It should also be noted that utility vehicles are generally bulky, unwieldy, and prohibited on the streets.

  pedestrian area where this type of advertising could be effective.

  The use of advertisements directly established on bicycle wheels is also known. It is mainly a question of markings executed on hubcaps closely associated with the rim of each of the wheels. This type of embodiment is found essentially for racing bikes, for which manufacturers, in certain racing situations, apply this type of hubcap on

  bicycles, mainly for aerodynamic reasons.

  In practice, reading the markings and other signs is only possible when the bicycles are stopped, because otherwise the advertisements become diffuse and illegible when the cyclists are in the exercise phase The advertising and media impact is therefore

very limited.

  The aim, according to the invention, was to design a new advertising concept which offers an attractive advertising surface, very visible and capable of being read and viewed in all circumstances,

  whether the carrier vehicle is running or stopped.

  Another desired object, according to the invention, was to design a device which allows rapid and simple adaptability of

  advertising signs on light vehicles of the aforementioned type.

  According to a first characteristic, the advertising vehicle of the bicycle, moped and similar type, whether or not arranged with a coupling trailer, is remarkable in that it receives, on one or more of its wheels, a support means capable of receiving a panel. advertising, said support means being fixed to the fixed part of the corresponding light vehicle by appropriate means allowing its rapid assembly and disassembly, and in that said advertising panel is in a fixed position independent of the rolling and advancing effect of the vehicle to authorize a reading of the marking and advertising, according to a sliding effect by

report to the ground.

  According to a second characteristic, the support means of the advertising panel is established to be fixed from the front fork and / or the rear fork of the light vehicle, and comprises, at its ends, means allowing the fixed maintenance of the advertising panel. These characteristics and others will emerge well from the following

from the description.

  To fix the object of the invention illustrated in a nonlimiting manner in the figures of the drawings o: Figure 1 is a front view of a bicycle arranged with advertising panels on its wheels, according to the invention, the figure 2 is a view of the same bicycle with the advertising panels removed, and illustrating an example of implementation of the support means, FIG. 3 is a large-scale view illustrating an area for fixing the advertising panel, according to the invention, on the fixed part of a bicycle, FIG. 4 is a view of an exemplary embodiment of the support and fixing means for the advertising panel on a bicycle wheel, FIG. 5 is a large-scale view illustrating connection means, FIG. 6 is a view of a variant for fixing the device, FIG. 7 is a partial view on a large scale of another variant, FIG. 8 is a front view of a bicycle wheel receiving two advertising panels, Figure 9 is a detail view of the attachment end of the device

  In order to make the object of the invention more concrete, it is now described in a nonlimiting manner illustrated in the figures of

drawings.

  The advertising vehicle is of the bicycle, three-wheeler, moped, or similar type, which may or may not receive a trailer.

  We will use the description below the term

  bicycle to expose the invention, this term however not being limiting. The bicycle is arranged to receive, on one or more of its wheels, a support means capable of authorizing the attachment of an advertising panel, said support means being fixed to the fixed part of the corresponding light vehicle by appropriate means authorizing its mounting. and quick disassembly Said advertising panel is in a fixed position independent of the rolling and advancing effect of the vehicle to allow reading of the marking and the

  advertising, according to a sliding effect relative to the ground.

  The support means can be established in any suitable form to fit on the fixed part of the bicycle, that is to say for example from its frame, front and / or rear forks, luggage rack, and generally on all fixed parts adapted to allow the attachment of one or more panels

advertising.

  Some examples of embodiments are described below.

  The vehicle illustrated is composed of a bicycle on which are installed four (or from 1 to x) circular advertising panels (9) (or any other geometric shape: square, rectangular, oval, etc.) fixed on either side (or just on one side) of each of

two wheels (10).

  Each advertising panel (9) consists of two circular planes (or any other geometric form: square, rectangular, oval, etc.) flat An opaque interior (14), a transparent exterior (13), both of the same size and overlapping L poster

  advertising (12) thus slides between the two surfaces.

  To fix each of the advertising panels (9) on the side of the wheel (10) which it covers, a "star" (FIG. 4) with three (or one, two, four or x) branches (2) is installed. 1200 (or other degree depending on the number of branches), radius 310 mm, maintained by its center (but can be offset from one to a few hundred mm for an appropriate visual effect) on the wheel axle (3), everyone's outside

  of the two fork uprights (1) (front or rear).

  At the end of each of the branches (2) (FIG. 5) there is a recess (4) of 5 mm at the end of the branch (2), a flat piece (6) bearing on the recess (4) above and fixed at the end

  of branch (2) by an 8 mm screw (5).

  The advertising panel (9) is thus held at three points (or more or less depending on the number of branches) between the end of each of the branches (2) and the added parts (6) which can be

  tightened as desired using the screw (5).

  The fixing system can be reinforced by passing the wheel axle (3) through the panels and adding a 10mm bolt at the end of the axle, having the effect of pressing the panels

  advertising (9) against the wheel clamping nut (8).

  As can be seen in FIG. 6, the front wheel assembly (10), plus fork (1), plus the two advertising panels (9), seen in profile, does not exceed 180 mm, which remains much less than l handlebar wheelbase estimated at 530 mm This small footprint leaving the

  cyclist the same freedom of evolution as with a classic bicycle.

  It is also not excluded that the advertising panels (9) are fixed by circular frames (15) (or any other geometric shape: square, rectangular, oval, etc.) held on the forks (1) front, rear and ends of a three-pointed star (figure 4) (2) (or two, four, and more) The advertising panel

  would then be embedded in the groove (7) of this frame (15) (Figure 7).

  The assembly shown in Figure 6 is a variant of fixing the

figure 5.

  The support means can be adapted and fixed on the support part

  bicycle luggage In the case of the use of advertising signs on coupling trailers, the fixing of said signs, opposite the wheels, is carried out on the fixed part of the

trailer chassis.

  The advantages are clear from the description We still emphasize

  the maintained maneuverability of the bicycle and its reduced bulk, allowing it to take the narrowest lanes reserved for conventional bikes, the attractiveness of the fixed advertising surfaces superimposed on the wheels while the bicycle is in motion This has the effect of an impression of "sliding" of the panels relative to the ground, while logic would like to see these panels rotating in a manner identical to the wheels (10) This phenomenon has the immense advantage of attracting the attention of passers-by while allowing them to read the message advertising

written on each of the panels.

  The easy dismantling system for advertising panels (9) makes it possible to quickly interchange the advertisements (12) interposed between the opaque interior panel (14) and the transparent exterior panel (13).
