Description

The present invention relates to devices designed to accommodate and demonstrate visual periodically changing graphic and textual information, in particular, outdoor advertising, and can be used in advertising and informational and demonstration installations with the possibility of sequential re-presentation of four images on the advertising field.

Known devices called “prismavision” or “prismatron” with trihedral segments, as well as other three-dimensional layouts - for example, four, six and octahedral, and even multi-tiered (http: //propel.rn.nar/prizmatron.php). The tetrahedral arrangement is often called the “quad prismatron." This solution is well-suited for advertising products sold in hard packs, such as milk and juice in Tetra-packs, washing powders and animal feed in cardboard boxes, cigarettes, coffee, tea, cookies, etc. The “quad prismatron" can rotate around its axis.

The disadvantage of “prismatrons” with many faces, each of which consists of only trihedral segments — a limited number of information fields that does not allow placing a large amount of information in it (if you are advertising an object of volume, for example, a tetrahedral package, you can still represent such volume objects only three), which leads to a significant cost of demonstrating a unit of information, such as advertising, as well as the large volume and complexity of the design.

The well-known "Multipanel" developed by the company "Visual Communications". It is a dynamic advertising medium, two-sided design includes up to 20 advertising surfaces, while both sides are dynamic. Outwardly, they look like traditional advertising constructions of the “prismatron” type, however, the “Multipanel” has a special way of changing rotary elements, which is fundamentally different from the drive of prismodynamic structures. The technology is based on the principle of turning pages of a book.

The disadvantage of this development is the impossibility of its use with a small demand for advertising (for example, 4 advertisers), an increase in the cost of a unit of advertising space in the absence of all the fillability of the “Multi-Panel”, and in the case of full filling (more than four advertisers), a short demonstration time for each image or the need for a long waiting until the desired image appears, which makes such panels unsuitable for installation along highways or in places with high observer speed.

A known element of the advertising and information installation "quad" according to patent RU 109602 (IPC G09F 11/00, publ. 10/20/2011), where the prismatic element is made integral and includes three trihedral prisms, as well as a design in which each trihedral prism consists of three trihedral prisms, the rotation of which is relative to each other and together, relative to the common axis, allows you to demonstrate four images instead of three (www.artamonoff.info/archives/221).

Such designs are quite complex and require three times more than trihedral prisms. The dimensions of composite prisms should be two times smaller than similar prisms of the Prismatron in order to maintain the dimensions of the structure. The image is deteriorating due to the many components, the replacement of the advertising image with a new one is complicated, the costs for preparing advertising media in this design are increasing. In addition, a complex drive mechanism is required for rotation.

The closest in combination of essential features analogue (prototype) to the claimed invention is an advertising panel according to the patent CN 104376799 (IPC G09F 11/10, publ. 02.25.2015), consisting of a frame into which tetrahedral segments are inserted - prisms, which are rotated when using a crank mechanism, which allows you to demonstrate four images.

The disadvantages of this design are the large weight and size characteristics, the complexity and the high power of the drives, since the movement and rotation of the prisms is carried out in two coordinates, as well as the increased time of changing the advertising planes with the image.

The problem solved by the invention is the simplification, facilitation, cheapening and acceleration of the process of changing the image of advertising planes during the advertising structure while maintaining the ability to display four images. The technical result when using it is to reduce weight and size characteristics, simplify drive mechanisms, reduce the time it takes to change advertising planes with an image in the process of advertising construction.

The specified technical result is achieved due to the fact that in the advertising structure containing the frame, tetrahedral prismatic segments are mounted vertically in a row, rotating by means of a drive mechanism around their axes from one engine (there may be an option in which a separate motor is installed to rotate each prism) instead of additional rectilinear movements of tetrahedral prisms, the prism deformation mechanism is used. Prism deformation occurs due to flexible movable joints of planes (faces). The possibility of deformation of the prisms provides a movable articulation of the planes of the prisms with each other and their interaction with fixed guides or electromechanical impact on them, the planes can be either removable or non-removable.

New in the present invention is the use of the mechanism of deformation of prisms, due to the interaction of fixed guides and flexible movable joints of planes (faces), for example, looped or articulated joints or electromechanical effects on them, allowing the prisms from the square to deform into a rhombus and vice versa to easily rotate the prisms around of their axes, so that the angles of adjacent prisms do not impede further rotation. Such a deformation mechanism without additional movements of tetrahedral prisms allows us to simplify the drive mechanism, reduce the cost of the structure, reduce its overall dimensions and reduce the time it takes to change advertising planes with the image during operation.

The invention is illustrated by drawings, where in FIG. 1, a diagram of the proposed advertising structure is shown; FIG. 2-6 illustrations depicting the principle of deformation of prisms from squares to rhombuses and vice versa for the unimpeded rotation of prisms around its axis.

The proposed design contains a frame 1, a drive mechanism 2, tetrahedral prismatic segments 3, rotating around vertical axes 4, due to shafts 5 attached to the drive mechanism 2, and each design of a tetrahedral prism with sides 7, 8, 9, 10 contains a fixed guide 6 (options with electromechanical implementation are possible). In the proposed design in stationary mode, tetrahedral prisms 3 in a perpendicular section are a square. Prisms are mounted vertically in a row.

The device operates as follows. When the drive mechanism 2 is turned on, the prisms 3 through the fastening system to the shafts 5 rotate around their axes 4. The deformation of each tetrahedral prism 3 occurs due to the mechanical interaction of the prism planes with the fixed guide 6 (options with electromechanical implementation instead of the guide are possible), which defines the deformation geometry depending on the angle of rotation of the prism. In the process of rotation of tetrahedral prisms 3 with sides 7, 8, 9, 10 around their vertical axes 4, prisms 3 are deformed into rhombs so that to rotate 45 degrees, the angles of adjacent prisms do not interfere with further rotation (Fig. 2, 3) . Rotating around their vertical axes by an angle from 45 to 90 degrees, the prisms are deformed back from the rhombuses into squares and, having completed the rotation by 90 degrees, demonstrate a new advertising plane (Fig. 4). The cycle is repeated four times to demonstrate each of the four advertising planes of the structure. The possibility of deformation of tetrahedral prisms provides a movable articulation of the planes of the prisms with each other, for example, due to hinged or articulated joints that allow the prisms from the square to deform into a rhombus and vice versa to freely rotate the prisms around their axes, so that the angles of adjacent prisms do not prevented further turning. Planes can be either removable or non-removable.

The mechanism that ensures the deformation of prisms from squares to rhombuses and vice versa (hereinafter referred to as the mechanism) can be realized either purely mechanical or using electric drives. The mechanism provides a deformation mode simultaneously with the rotation of the prisms, and such a mode of operation is the least costly in terms of the change of advertising planes.

The possibility of deformation of tetrahedral prisms allows you to use one simple drive mechanism, which also leads to the simplification, cheapening and reduction of overall dimensions of the advertising structure.

Also, the mode of operation of the mechanism can be discrete, first deformation, then rotation of the prisms by a discrete angle with increments of discrete up to 90 degrees, however, with an increase in the pitch of discretes, the time for changing advertising planes also increases. The design can provide for the possibility of rotation and / or movement of the fixed guides 6 (variants with electromechanical implementation are possible) when the rotation of the prisms 3 is stopped, as a result of which, the interaction of the guides 6 with the planes of the prisms 3 will cause the prisms to deform without rotation around their axes 4 (for Discrete operating mode). For example, if we take a 90-degree rotation discrete, the algorithm of the mechanism will be such that first the square prisms 3 are deformed into rhombs (Fig. 5), then they rotate around their axes 4 90 degrees (Fig. 6), and then reverse deformation from rhombs to squares, at the end of which the prisms will show a new advertising plane (Fig. 4). However, this mode of operation requires more time to change the advertising planes than the mode with simultaneous deformation and rotation of the prisms.

The deformation of prisms into a rhombic shape and vice versa into a square occurs depending on the angle of rotation of the prism, by increasing or decreasing the angles between the prism planes and moving the prism planes further or closer with respect to the axis of rotation of the prism. In the case of clockwise rotation of the prisms, considering the horizontal projection of the prisms on the plane, the left upper and right lower corners will move away from the center of rotation, and the upper right and lower left corners of the prisms will approach the center of rotation (Fig. 5). When turning 45 degrees (Fig. 3), two opposite angles of the prisms are removed from the axis of rotation by a distance L, and two other angles approach the axis of rotation by the same distance L (Fig. 7):

R is the radius of the circle circumscribed around the square prism.

Removing and approximating the angles of prisms at a distance of L≈0.415A allows you to deform the prisms into a rhombic shape and vice versa. When turning another 45 degrees, all the prism angles return to a position equidistant from the center of rotation. After a pause, the cycle repeats again.

Thus, by attaching tetrahedral prisms to one drive mechanism and using the deformation mechanism of tetrahedral prisms, which allows flexible movable joints of planes (faces) from the square to be deformed into a rhombus and vice versa using fixed guides or electromechanical effects on them, the advertising design in relation to the prototype has reduced weight and size characteristics, a simplified drive mechanism, a reduced time for changing advertising planes with an image, which leads to simplify, facilitate and reduce the cost of advertising design while maintaining the ability to display four images.
