Application filed March 23, 1912. Serial No.,885,872.
Be it known thatI, FRANK Josnrrr WEBER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Fond du Lac, State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and useful Improvement in llluminable Advertising Devices, of which the following is a spec fication.
' means whereby the advertisement is illuminated at ni ht time durin the interval. that it is displayed, and to so arrange the illuminailing means as to automatically interrupt the illumination during the nterval that the s a machine is operated to change from one advertisement to another.
My invention further has for its object to provide simple and inexpensive mec'hanis i for the purpose mentioned, and to this d my invention embodies the special features and combination of parts l1eroinatter,more fully set forth, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings constituting a part of this. specification.
In the drawings: Figure l is a side elevation of my machine showing, however, only the frame work and the mechanism therein provided; the casing being omitted, since that can be supplied as desired by thebuilder; Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic front elevation of my machine illustrating that l provide frame-like means for standing out the advertisement displayed; Fig. 3 is a. transverse section taken approximately on line A-A of Fig. 1, showing part of the mechanism for intermittently driving the endless apron bearing the advertisements; Fig. l is a. transverse section approximately taken on line B-l3 of Fig. 1, showing another part ofthe motion transmitting device, showing also in dotted lines the parts shown in Fig. 3, so as to fix their relative positions; 5 is aperspective of the springcontrolled locking pinby which the mechanism running the endless band is intermittently connected with the driven pullcv, said pin serving to make the electric circuit for the electric lamp illuminating the advertisements at night time; Fig. 6 is a side elevation showing a portion of the frame and a semi-circular cam ring thereon attired, serving both to lift the locking pin out of its locking position and. to establish the electric circuit for intermittent intervals during the running of my device; this figure also diagrammatically illustrates the electric wiring, and the connection of the lamp with such wiring; Fig. 7 is a lon itudinal sectiona'l view on a line w-m of ig. 3', looking toward the right, and shows an inner face elevation of the driven pulley of my device,
the electric contact plate thereto aflixed, and
the relative position of the semi-circular cam ring shown in Fig. 6; and Fig. 8 isa diagrammatic view of the electric wiring of my machine, controlling its illumination by the electric lamp; and Fig. 9 illustrates a m0d'itied type of'bearmg for the rollers, on which travels the endless band of my device.

mounted on legs vertically adjusta 1e and preferably supported on casters t. The frame has journaled in its top and bottom horizontal members a, a a series of transversely arranged rollers 03, on which travels an endless band 6, carrying the advertisements. The band 6 may be adapted to have changeable advertisements written thereon in chalk, or otherwise, or the advertisements may be permanently imprinted on the band. as convenient. The roller d serves as a tightener'and is journaled in an adjustable braciret 3 vertically movable by operating the screw 2, in order to tighten the band e as required. The latter has a series o'f per- .fo-rations at its sides which register with the teeth f on the extremity of the rollers (2'.
is fastened an electric contact-plate 2, to' which is atlixr-d a laterally promoted, hinged" A V-faced driven pulley g is rigidly-c mounted on. the stub-shalt h, bearing atone a frame member a and at the other )in. controlled by a 5 rin in the manner 3 hereinafter more fully described. 9n the stulrshatt .72 is also rotatably mounted the hub 727 of a circular disk n. The latter is "aided in its periphery with two semici cular sz'rooves or recesses 39,, p, diametri cally oppontc each other and of a SlZG'tO accouunmlate the pin l1. There is also rigidly mounted on the hub, was gear 0. A semi-circular cam ring is rigidly fastened to the frame a, being located as more clearly shown in Figs. 6 and 7. The cam ring I] is arranged concentric with the dish: a, but its diameter is slightly greater than the diametcr of the lat er, as shown at n, @he

though'shown in Fig. '2 as consisting ofa battery it. u is an-electric lamp electrically connected with said source of electricity.
The lamp u is placed behind\ the frameiparty, rearwardof the band e, which travels backof said frame part the band being made of transparent material so as tolie illuminable by the lamp, as shown in Fig. 1. The
.Tframe part 1 at the front of my machine, serves as a frame to set out the advertisement exhibited for the time.
. Thewiring system (see Fig. 8) as fol-' lows: -1 and 2 are the main Wires, of the series circuit. In this circuit is'a switch on and a light u. The wired electrically connects the light u, andfits'other end bears constantly against the contact plate/i, the
latter carrying the current to the pin The wire 2 is connected with the cam ring {1,
so that the circuit is completed when thepin it and. 0am ring 9 contact, thereby en'- ergizingthe light u." The'action of my device is as follows: The motor 8 runs constantly and is" con-. nected by a belt .9". with-the driving pulley, g. Supposing the lock pin k, carried by the latter, tobe-enga'ged'with'the groove 77 of the disk at, the'latter will-travel withthe driven pulley g for one half of its revolu- ,tion. The-pin' la is' nowbrdught into contact with one end of the cam ringq, and in a striking the inclinedp0r'tion g" is lifted out 1 of the groovep of the'ldisk n, and the latter over'the semi-circularcam ring q. iWhile then remains at rest, while j-thepin la travels the disk at remains at rest, as mentioned, oneof the advertisements isbeing exhibited.
If the exhibition takeplace in the night time, and the switch wfof the lampcircui't is closed, the-pin In, while ridingon the'g'iau v ring closes the lamp circuit and causes the advertisement to be illuminated. When the pin la has traveled to the opposite end oflthe cam rlng'g, it will. sl de into the-groove '79,
I being forced into such groove bythe. ac ion of the spring 7'. The disk is thus conneotedwith the pulley g, and the band-moV- lug-mechanism is operated for another half the displayed advertisement to be moved out 'of display position and another advertise- "mentto bemoved in its place. As soon as suclrother half revolution has been 00111 remain at rest, and so on, the operation re- 'peats;1tsel f. It will also have been noted that' during the interval that the band e is moved to change the advertisement displayed, the lamp u will be extinguished' This result is especially efl'ective for night time advertising.
