Definitions

  • This invention relates to advertising signs in which an incandescent filament is used for the purpose of constituting the legend of said sign.
  • One of the objects of the invention is to arrange the filament so that it may be changed from time to time in order to alter the character of the legend or design.
  • Another object of the invention is to arrange in vacuo a series of supporting hooks for said filament of such predetermined number and arrangement that different groups of them may be' selectively chosen from time to time upon which the filament may be wound or supported in different positions in order to change the arrangement of the design constituted thereby-
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a rechargeable lamp in which filament supporting hooks are provided additional to those necessary for supporting the filament in a single arrangement so that when recharged the filament may be strung on a different grouping of hooks in order to change the design or legend traced by said filament.
  • Figure 1 shows in perspective a view of an incandescent lamp embodying my invention.
  • FIGS 2 and 3 are similar views of slightly modified embodiments.
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of a rectangular lamp showing several banks of filament supporting hooks according to my invention.
  • FIGS. 5, 6, 7 and 8 are cross sectional views taken along the lines 1-1, 33, H
  • Figure 9 is a front elevation of a modi fied form of my invention.
  • Figure 1 represents a glass support either fused into one side of the glass bulb of the lamp or otherwise permanently supported.
  • a plurality of filament supporting hooks Projecting from the face of the glass support I) are a plurality of filament supporting hooks a of ordinary construction. U on a certain group of these hooks selective y chosen is' wound the filament which in thiscase takes theform of a signature, the ends of said filament being brought to the outside of the lamp in the ordinary way by being fused into a glass plug which lies within the lamp socket and maintains an air-tight relationship with the bulb.
  • the invention consists inthe provision of an additional number of the supporting hooks to that actually needed to carry the filament in the arrangement shown by which provision, the design outlined by the filament may be changed by rewinding said filament upon a new or di erent grouping of supporting hooks. This is intended to'be done at the factory or at some recharging station where-the lamps may be returned for the making of said change and where proper facilities are provided for so doing.
  • the lamp is represented by the rectangular glass box at which may have a removable portion not shown, preferably one end thereof, through which the construction shown within the box may be inserted or removed.
  • the said box has molded to one side thereof a projection f which has inserted therethrough and fused thereto the leads connecting to the filaments which are designed to be strung or wound upon the filament supporting hooks 0 carried by the glass plates it.
  • These plates each comprise a unit similar to that shown in Figure 1 in which a number of filament supporting hooks are rovided in excess of the number required or a single arrangement of the filament, this being for the same purpose, namely to provide for new groupings for the hooks, about which the filament may be wound in differ- .ent ways in order to effect changes in the design of the legend displayed.
  • the plates 11. are arranged one behind the other and being transparent the design may be selected for each plate with a view to its visual cooperation with the designs on the other plates.
  • the glass box 00 carries on its upper surface the plugs 1" which fit in a gas-tight manner into apertures in the upper surface of said box by means of which apertures air in saidbox is evacuated, by connection of said apertures to suitable apparatus.
  • bafiles are provided comprising the receptacles i and 11 both of which may be of identical, construction but are here shown as different for the sake of illustrating the plurality of modifications.
  • baflle i which is shown in detail in Figures 5 and 6 comprises a flatreceptacle in communication at the top with the aperture closed by one of the plugs and having the side edges thereof perforated with numerous small holes for distributing the air and lessening its draft at an one point.
  • Figures 7 and 8 comprises a receptacle with elongated plates secured in alternation to its upper and lower surfaces and spaced alternately therefrom providing a sinuous path which the entering air must follow before it finally emerges into the interior of the box w.
  • the box as when used as a display sign may be tilted at various angles or evenrotate the trunnions g are provided for pivotally mounting it upon a suitable support.
  • an ordinary periodic switch may be provided for distributing the current to the respective filaments in the desired order.
  • the plate 6 is introduced into said box where it is supported on edge in a'position to receive the compression stresses due to atmospheric pressure.
  • An incandescent advertising sign in which the filament constitutes the legend, comprising a lamp, a plurality of filament supporting hooks in said lamp, said hooks being of greater number than are required for the support of the filament in a single position of arrangement.
  • an incandescent advertising sign in which the filament constitutes the legend, a lamp, a plurality of filament supporting hooks of a number greater than that required for a single arrangement of the filament, said hooks being of such predetermined number and arrangement that differcomprising a lamp, a plurality of transparent filament supports mounted therein and in superposed relation relative to the line of vision, a plurality of filament supporting hooks carried by each of said supports, the number of said hooks-being in excess of the number required for a single arrangement of the filaments.
  • An incandescent advertising sign in which the filament constitutes the legend, comprising a lamp, a plurality of transparent filament supports mounted therein and in superposed relation relative to the line of vision, a plurality of filament supporting hooks carried by each of said supports, the number of said hooks being in excess of the number required for a single arrangement of the filaments and means for devacuizing said' lamp.
  • An'incandescent advertising sign in which the filament constitutes the legend comprising a lamp, a plurality of transparent supports carried by said lamp and in superposed'relation relative to the line of vision, a plurality of filament supporting hooks carried by each of said supports, the number of said supporting hooks being in excess of the number required for a single arrangement of the filament, a devacuizing valve for said lamp and an air distributing baffle arranged intermediate said valve and said filament supports.
  • An incandescent advertising sign in which thefilament constitutes the legend comprising a lamp, a plurality of trans arent supports carried by said lamp an in superposed relation relative to the line of vision, a plurality of filament supporting hooks carried by each of said supports, the number of said supportin hooks being in excess of the number requ red for a single arrangement of the filaments, a devacuizing plug for said lamp and an air distributing baflie arranged intermediate said plug and said filament supports and means for reinforcing the walls of said lamp against atmospheric pressure.
