Abstract

An underground train motion picture advertising/entertainment system comprises of an underground train 11, glass viewing windows 1(6 per train carriage), fluorescent luminar tubes 3 (2 per glass viewing window) positioned above and below the said windows 1 and a film display panel with film reel pinned to it, fixed to the walls/roof of the underground tunnel, which when used in conjunction with an underground train moving at a speed of 30 m.p.h (48 Km/Hr) will produce a motion picture to a passenger in a sitting/standing position opposite the glass viewing window 1. <IMAGE>

Description

UNDERGROUND TRAIN MOTION PICTURE ADVERTISING/ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM.
(Technical field) This invention relates to an underground train motion picture advertising/entertainmont system.
(Backround) Underground train advertising is a well known system of advertising.This system comprises of posters pined to the inner walls of the underground train,advertisiong various products or services available.
(Essential technical features) According to dle present invention,there is provided a film display panel constructed of sheet metal plate of which its section follows the contour of the upper wall/roof section of the underground train carriage.The said film display panel is fixed to the upper wall/roof of the underground train tunnel and extends oo both ends of the tunnel.2 No. film display panels are provided per tunnel,each positioned ed symmetrically opposite each other and located on the wall/roof of the underground tunnel as already stated.A spool of enlarged (blow up) film (consisting of many individual picture frames) may flen be unrolled and pined to each film display panel.Both film reels must essentially be mirror images of each otle.- owing to passengers viewing from both side walls of the underground train carriage,also according to the present invention,there are provided glass viewing windows positioned in the upper walls/roof sections of the underground train carriage.6 No. glass viewing windows per underground train carriage, (8 Mo. pairs) each pair of glass viewing n-ndows are positioned symmetrically opposite each other to cater for passengers viewing in seated/standing positions fran either side of the underground train carriage.
Fixed to the external walls/roof of the underground carriage are provided florescent luminair tubes which when lit will cast light on the enlarged film frames.Thus when the underground train leaves the station and enters the underground tunnel and quickly reaches a speed of 30 m.p.h (48 Km/Hr),motion picture will then be accomplished when vielsino e film reel throght d; glass viewing window ran the passenger seat opposite.
Referring to the drawing the glass viewing windows 1 are positioned in the upper walls/roof of the underground train carriage 11 and are sealed to prevent train water or wind from the train carriage 1l by means of a rubber seal 4.Glass viewing window surrounding panels 2 are provided for cosmetic reasons,thus p-eventing passengers from being distracted whilst viewing the motion picture.Existing passenger seats 15, passenger grab handles 12 air vents 5 and underground train window 6 are indicated for orientation purposes.Passengers must be sitting/standing opposite glass viewing window 1 to see the film in its true perspective.Sho film display panels 8 are positioned on the walls/roof of the undeeeeornd tunnel 13 and fixed to the tunnel 5 steel wall compression shell by means of steel brackets 9.Florescent lutunair tubes 3 are fixed to the external walls/roof of the underground train carriage 11 and are positioned above and below the glass viewing window 1 to cast light on the film display panel 8.
In order to achieve motion picture,a film reel 17 comprising of enlarged (blow Ms) picture fremes,the said pictures frames must pass aver a lense which in this case is the glass viewing 1 at the rate of twenty four picture frames per second for natural picture motisn.The picture frame's length may be calculated as follows: Average speed of underground train = 30 m.p.h or 48 Km/Hr = 48000 m/Hr = 13333.333 mm/sec = 13333.333 # 24 No. frames = 555.53 mm Frame length 22 = 555.53 trrn The breath of the frame may be established for proportionality purposes as being approsimately 400 mm.
Passengers are seated/standing facing the glass viewing window 1 opposite, the underground train 11 then leaves the station and enters the tunnel 13 and quickly reeches a speed of 30 m.p.h (43 Km/Hr), the passengers can then see the luminated motion picture through the glass viewing window 1.NOTE - Because no sound has been generated fran the moving train 13,all frames must be sub-titled.
With reference to Fig 6,one possible method of placing the film reel 17 on the film display panel is as shown and is described as follows: The film scrool 18 is nrxnrted on the film display panel,the film scrow 18 may be then rolled by moans of bearing rollers 19,21 alang the film display panel.
This process begins at one of the underground tunnel 13,unrolling and pining the film reel 17 onto the film display panel 8 until it reaches its end at the other end of the underground tunnel 13.The intion picture scene may be replaced whenever required by carryIng out the said process.
10 - Anti-shear bolts.
14 - Clay/soil composition.
16 - Scrool shaft.
20 - Bearing roller shaft.

Claims (5)

1 An underground train motion picture advertising/entertainment system comprises of an underground train,glass viewing window (6 No.per train carriage) ,florescent luminair tubes (2 No. per glass viewing window) positioned above and below the said window and a film display panel with film reel pined to it,when used in conjunction with underground train mo motion at a speed of 30 m.p.h (48 Km/Hr) will produce motion picture whilst in a sitting/standing position opposite the viewing glass window.
2 An underground train motion picture advertising/entertairnEnt system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the florescent luminairs provide adaguate light to give a clear motion picture vie@@ from inside a lighted underground train carriage.
