UNITED STATES PATENT oFFIcn THOMAS JACKSON, or LoNnoN, ENGLAND, AssxeNon 'ro HIMSELF, aNn ALLAN RAMSAY,' or vcnnsnnn, ENGLAND.
MEcHaNIsM ron rnonucrNe GAS-LIGHTED FLASH-SIGNS.
Application filed December 16, 1911. Serial No. 666,308,
I 5 New Cross, London,S. E., England, have invented new and useful Improvements in and Relating to Mechanism'for Producing Gas-- Lighted Flash-Signs and'the Like for Advertising Purposes, ofwhich the following This invention relates to improvements in mechanism for producin gas lighted flash signs and the like for a vertising purposes and has for its object theprovision of means where'b the motive power of the gas is not only utilized to work the mechanism for pro ducing an intermittent supply of gas as an illuminating agent but is in addition caused a f to provide the motive'powerby which the ..20 lighted flash sign is moved.
I My invention therefore conslsts in the combination of a .gas driven intermittent control apparatus with 'a revolving lantern or support carrying advertising matter and means by which the intermittent motion is transmitted from the gas control mechanism to the lantern or support carrying the ad vertisement.
' One way of carrying the invention into "'30 eifect is by utilizing the lantern control y mechanism operated the gas used in the burner such as is described in. the specification of B. an. Letters Patent No. 1009313 "and eonnectingfto,any'reciprocating" art of sasaidf apparatus a. connecting mec amsm I which 13; adapted to give an intermittent .ro-
tation-ftof the lantern or support carrying the advertisements.
.rder that theinvention may be the iobetterunderstood I now proceedto describe the samein relation to the accompanying drawin reference being had to I the letters and gates marked thereon.
Like letters refer to like parts in the vari- 'ous figures, in whicht- Figure 1 is a view of tus with my invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a plan of the ratchet wheel, the operatinglever andpa-wl-and theretaining pawl.
The flash li ht device a is similar to that described in t e specification of U: S. A. Letters Patent No. 1009313 and is given only .as an example of a motor mechanism. The
lantern bis pivotally mounted preferhbly on an anti-friction bearing 0 upon the gas standard d. The lower part of the lantern fixedly carries a ratchet wheel 6 with which engages aretaining pawl f mounted on the standard d to prevent backward motion and an operating spring pawl g mounted on the end of the bell crank h. The lever i of the mechanism a is connected to the bell crank h by a connecting rod 1' and a series of holes k a are provided in both bell crank and lever to vary the leverage and the consequent motion therefrom. As the mechanism a is operated by the gas the lantern is revolved thereby by v I Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept. 16, 1913. v
a step by step motion and the r volution will continue so long as the gas, is being used.
Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Let tersPatenttv A mechanically operated. gas flash light device consisting of in combination, a motive mechanism adapted to be intermittently actuated by the gas pressure of supply, a lighting-burner supplied'by gas from the intermittent exhaust of the said motive mechanism, a revoluble lantern adapted to carry-advertising matter or the like and connecting means for transmitting the intermittent motion of the said motive mechanism to the said Iantern,'substantial1y as described.
I In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
