INVENTOR UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ADVERTISING-CARD.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 24, 1921.
Application filed September 27, 1919. Serial No. 326,991.
'1 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN P. BUoKLnY, a citizen of the United States, residin at Capitol View Park, in the county of ontgomcry and State of Maryland, have invented new and useful Improvements in Advertising-Cards, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to show cards and refers more particularly to the kind used in advertising merchandise wherein when placed in a window or at some advantageous position, the attention of the passers-by may be arrested by the apparent movement of a certain object or objects printed thereon having wheel motion, such as a train, automobile, airplane or the like.
With this object in view and others appearing as the specifications proceed and the nature of the invention more fully appears, the invention resides in the novel conception, and arrangements of parts as hereinafter fully described and claimed, it being understood that changes in precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of the specification, like numerals of reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
Figure l is a card showing the combination of several objects whose movements depend upon a rotary motion of a certain member or members of the parts.
Fig. 2 is a similar card attached to a mechanical movement, the operation into circular motion of which causes the rotary illusion to appear in the picture.
Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the mech anism.
The numeral 1 designates a card which may be of any size and form and upon which outer surface is printed, in this instance, an airplane 2, express train 3, mill 4 and automobile 5, all of which combination of objects appearing depend upon a rotary member or members forming an integral part of their construction for support and motion.
The aim for adopting such movable objects in the picture is to apply and to draw in a series of plain circles 6, on such rotary parts, as the wheels of a train 7, the propeller of an airplane 8, the wheel of an old mill 9, and the wheels of an automobile 10, and, objects of a similar character, where such arrangement of circles might represent the rotary parts as to make the said rotary parts appear to turn or revolve around a common center, as a wheel might turn on its axis, when the card, bearing the print, is caused to complete a small circle when operatively associated with hand or motor power.
The numeral 11 is a smaller card in which appearing are several airplanes 12 and 13 the propellers of which, as shown, are represented as a circle within a circle. Connected to one of the corners of the card is a piece of pasteboard 14: or other suitable material, out in the shape of a hand and sleeve with a portion of the sleeve cut away; it shows an operating mechanism 15, composed of the base 16, upright arm 17, projecting arm 18 at which farthest end is journaled reciprocating shaft 19, carrying bolts 20 and 21, for the purpose of making fast board 14:; the lower end of the shaft is loosely connected to pin 22 on gear disk 23, which is fixed to small shaft 24, also carrying a drum 25 between the journals 26 and 27. Wound around the drum, one end of which is fast thereon, is cable 28, to which other end is weight 29 for the purpose of providing power to the mechanism.
In operation the cable carrying the weight is wound around the drum by means of the key 30. On releasing the keys the weight commences to fall downward and unwinds the drum, which unwinding of the drum imparts motion to the shaft carrying the disk and thence to the reciprocating arm supporting the card, and through such means the card is made to transcribe a complete circle without changing the square or rec tangular lines of the card or picture with respect to the line of vision. By imparting such motion to the card, either by hand or motor power, as mentioned, all printed objects identified by the application of a series of circles as would represent a rotatable member of the said objects partake the form of a rotatable motion either in the right or left hand direction according to the direction of the motion given to the card.
Having thus described my invention. what I claim as new and desire to secure by United-States Letters Patent is,
In cards, as an advertising medium, an image printed thereon in which appearing are 5 one or more objects having a rotable member or members as a part of their construction a series of circles radiating from a common center representing such rotatable memher or members and means for giving the card a circular motion, as described and 10 shown.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
JOHN P. BUCKLEY.
