For the purpose ot illustlating the principles ot the invention, I have shown it e1nhodicd in advertising' apparatus which includcs the dumm1 figure ik ot an acrohatic clown mounted upon a main trame comprising a hollow hase B and the representation (l ot' a ladder. rl`he figure A is mounted upon the ladder so as to assume the normal poeition Shown in Figure l ot the drawings and successivel)Y the porritimis shown hv dotted lines iu Figure 2 and hy solid and dotted lines in Figure il, \\hereh iY the ligure is caused to simulatie the position ot standing' on its hands upon thc top ot the ladder and oucillating upon one hand. The haci; ot the figure carries` a casing D rtnncsentin@` a. knapsack or pack within which is arranged devices to he displayed, in the present instance a pluralit7 ot' inscriptions each coinpricingf one part ot an advertising sentence. The inscriptions are displayed through a disiplaY opening in the casingn D simulta neouslyv with the movement ot' the figure into the position shown in Figure 3 of the drawings. The figure is caused to repeat the niotione above described in successive cvcles, and a different inscription is displayed during each cycle ot operation.

Specifically describing the details ot the apparatus, one ot the stiles l of the ladder may he made solid While the other stile Q is preferably in the torni oit a tulle. iin auxiliary frame `is mounted upon the upper ende ol" the stiles l and 2 ot the ladder and compriecs cections E and F, the lirst ot' which includes a vertical sfide piece f haring one end in the torni ot a Simulation ot a huinan hand` as indicated at adapted to separahljY rest upon the top ot the Stile 1 ot the ladder. The other side piece of said frame section E comprises a part haring one end thereof in simulation ot a human hand. as at G, and secured 'fast to the top ot the tubular stile 2. rlhe part 5 han` plvotallv connected thereto as at i' another part S which is ,normally dis posed .eulistantialliY parallel to the side piece fi. The upper ends of the side piecce ot the :traine section E arc fast connected togijethcr h r a rod 9 one end oilI which may he riveted to one ot the side pieces as at l0. `while the other side piece ma;1 he threaded upon the other end of the rod as at il. lith this con struction. it will he obvious that the trame section E may suina aboutI the pivot T in a vertical plane laterally ot the ladder portion C ot the main traine.

The frame section F comprises two side pieces 12 and 13 each of which is tast Seure. The l'od 9 corresponds to the shoulders; t

et the figure. It will thus he seen that hy moving the traine section F ulnvardly about the rod 9 as a pivot, the ligure may assumo the poe-zition ehoivn by dotted lines in F igure :2 of the drawings.

For so swinging; the traine section F rela tival;` to the traine section E, I mount a pinion l5 on the tuhular shaft lt which meshes with a rack har iti slidahly mounted upon the traine section lil. rack har is pivotallv connected to a linlt if? which parece doivnu'ardl)r through the hase (i ot the part 5 ot' the traine section and through the tnhular stile of the ladder into the hase portion oit the apparatus, where the linl; in pirotalliT connected at 19 to one end oi" a lever Q0 the other `end o'l which is pivotallpY connected at 2l to the hase Ytrarne 'lhe lever 20 has a roller QS which encs a cani tust on a horizontal shaft 25 revoluliily mounted in the haee frame 22. A spring QG maintains the roller 2? in engage uuut with the can.` and the cani in soehaped (sce Figure t oi the dran'iius) that upon rotation them-urli the lcvcr 520 is lirst pushed down *ardljy no :u1 to actuuic the rack har lf3 and rotate the tuhular chal-'t lll to swine; thc traine section F upwardly, as shown in dotted lines in Figure Q o .thc drawingsN utter which the cani relieves the roller and the weight ot the traine section coopcra,iup with thc sluinp; QG causes the traine section to return to its normal poeiiionn an shown in Figures l and 5.

Any suitahle meant-1 may lic utilized for rotating' thc #hatt 53.3, hut. in the present in stance l have shown a largo gear 2T tast upon the ahalit and drircn through a train oi' pears trom an elect ric uiotor t accurcd to the hase vl'raine 2Q.

rlfhe cani has such contour as to retain the traine section l*` in ita upper position l'or u certain period oi tinic, and during' thiny period the traine section l'l ie o-"cillatcd ahout the pivot T. To causo such oscillation. l niav pivotally connect one end of a linlt Il() to the part 8 ot the side piece oi' thc traine section l in eccentric relation to the pivot as at 3l. The linlt 30 extends down fardlv through the tubular stile 2 of the ladder and is connected at its other end as at to one end of a lever 33 pivotally connected at its One end oi the t l opposite end co-axially with the lever 20. rllhe lever 38 ias a roller 34 which engages the periphery ot a cam mounted on the sha'tt 25, the roller being held in contact with the cam by a spring 236. The cam 35 is so shaped as to actuate the lever 33 so as to successively pull upon kand release the link 239 several times during one rotation of the cainrand also to hold the auxiliary 'lramein tilted position, as shown by solid lines in Figure B, tor a short period Ot time. 0f course,y the cam 35 is timed with the cam 24 so that the auxiliary trame is not tilted until the trame section F has been raised to its uppermost position.

'A roller 87 is mounted to rotate upon the tubular shaft 14 but is normally frictionally induced to rotate with said shaitt by a spring washer '88. An endless belt 39 passes over said roller 37 and another roller 40 journaled on the trame section F, said belt also i; sing over a pair ot idler rollers 41 intermediate the rollers 87 and 49. The belt is maintained under tension by mounting the roller in slots 42 in the trame section F and utilizing` tension springs 43 tor normally drawing the roller 40 away from the roller 37. The roller 37 is formed with plurality ot teeth or projections 44 and the belt 39 is .termed with corresponding lopenings 45 which receive the projections 44. The devices to be displayed, inthe present instance a plurality ot series of lines 46 constituting parts ot advertising sentences, are arranged in spaced relation upon the outer surface of the belt 39. rlie casing D is removably fitted upon the frame section F so 4as in combination with the covering for the ligure A. to enclose the belt 39. but said casing is provided with a plurality of display openings or slots 47 through any of which one line 46 may be displayed at a time. rl`he display openings 47 are provided with removable closure slides 48 whereby any one ofthe openings may be selectively used for display ot the lines 46.

In accordance with the invention the belt 39 v.is longitudinally moved o-ver the rollers 37 and 40 by and simultaneously with movement ot the frame section F relatively to the section E, and this is accomplished by temporarily holding rthe roller 37 against movementwith the tubular shatt 14, it being obvious that with the roller so held as the trame section F is mov-ed, the belt 39 will move relatively tothe display openings 47. For so holding the roller, l may' provide a ratchet 5() tast to the roller with which cooperates a paivl 51 which is periodically moved into and out of engagement with the ratchet by means of a linlr 52 which may be in the form offpiano wire, and `er.- tends downwardly through the tubular stile 2 of the ladder and is connectedto a lever 53 similar to the lever 20. TheV lever 53 has a roller 54 engaging a cam'55 and the roller is held in engagement with the cam by a spring 56. The cam is so shaped and timed with the cam 24 that when the trame section F starts its movement toward its upper position, the pawl 51 is forced into engagement with the ratchet and is so held in engagement lor a period ol time suiiicient to produce the desired movement of the belt 39,V after which the pawl is released :trom the ratchet by action ot the cam 55 and spring 56. Upon return ot the frame section F to its normal position the roller 37 moves with the shaft 14 so that the belt remains stationary.

The lines 46 orV other inscriptions, etc., may be arranged on the belt in any suitable manner, but l have shown in Figure 12 three series ot lines 46 each of which constitutes one pai-tot an advertising sentence, and the lines ot the series are spaced in alternate relation according to the spacing` ot the display openings 47 in the casing D, so that according to the display opening 47 which is being used one line of the same sentence will be displayed upon each movement of the trame section F. As shown, one sentence comprises the lines a, '21, c and al, while another sentence comprises the lines e, f, g. and It, and another sentence includes the lines e', j, 7c and @three sentences being illustrated. ln operation ot' the display apparatus, only one oi the openings 47 is used at a time, and when it is desired to cease display ot' the particular sentence corresponding to said opening, the closure 48 is applied and the closure 48 of another opening 47 corresponding to the-sentence desired to be displayed, is removed. Of course, the sizeot the roller 37 and the period during which it is held against movement, will be so related to the spacing ot' the display openings 47. and the movement of the trame section F as to properly locate the lines 46 at the respective display openings 47.

`rlhe arrangement ofthe inseriptions or lines shown in Figure 12 is particularly adaptable for use where there will be an attendant'to the apparatus for changing the closures 48 ot the casing Dto successively display the dierent sentences, and as will be seen trom Figure 9 ot the drawings, with this arrangement the ratchet v50 has two diametrically opposite recesses 57 to cooperate with the tooth 5S ot the pawl, one recess 57 being moved I out of cooperative relation with the tooth 58 each time the frame section F rreturns to normal position and the other of said recesses 57 being simultaneously moved into cooperative relation with the tooth 58. Where it is desired to successively display the different sentences without an attendant, the lines ot each sentence may be arranged in succession, as shown in Figure 13. There are sin lines to each sen- Lio 4i maligne tence, :lnd llecordingl)7 lille rlltcllet to cooper- :lle with Snell :in :lrrllngenlent would llilve six recesses o9, :ls ellon'n in Figure 1G ot tile drlllvings, so lllllt llle roller Si iS lleld zlgzlinet lnovenlent lritll lille sllzl'l't let during; :lpproni nlzlteljv olle-sixtl1 oil. :l complete revolution of esflid Sllllltinstezld ol :l lllll't revolution es in tllo eonetrllction sl'lon'n in Figure E). .Il llllldllied Atol-nl o't ellln lo :liso neeessllrv, ils
