The present invention relates to signs, and more particularly to operated and illuminated by electricity,
An object of the present inventlon isv to provide a sign which has the appearance of a bill board, and wherein the front of the sign imparts the appearance of evenly di- .vided panels, and wherein the sign may be quickly and easily adjusted to change the reading or display thereon.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a sign of the character having a plurality of small hinge panels adapted to be turned about their own axes so as to change the character of the display at the front of the sign, and wherein a specific construction is resorted to to provide a sign which is economical in construction, easily erected, will be light in weight and easily stalled, and a sign which cannot easily get out of order.` Another object of the present invention is to provide a sign of this character which may be operated by solenoids, the construc tion and arrangement being such that the direct pull of the solenoid without the use of intervening levers or the like and wherein relatively small power is required for the operation of the sign.
Another object lofthe present invention is to provide a sign which may be intermittently changed by connecting the sign in a divided circuit and controlling the same by a continuously rotating or operating commutator so that the sign may be intermita sign adapted to be in-A a fragmentary vertical longi-y tudinal section taken through the same.
Figure 3 is a longitudinal vertical horizontal section taken through the sign immedliately beneath the top wall or plate thereof. l
Figure 4 is an enlarged fragmentary transverse vertical section taken through the lower portion of the sign, and
Figure 5 is a diagrammatic view of one A arrangement of the electric circuit which may be employed to operate the sign.
lReferring to the drawings, 10 designates the frame or casing of the sign which may be of any suitable desired configuration for adapting the sign to the particular purpose to which it is to be applied.
In the present instance the casing or frame 10 is shown as open at one side only and is provided with an inwardly extending and inwardly inclined marginallange 11 which, at opposite ends, may be pressed or otherwise provided with hoods or reflectors 12 which face inwardly toward each other to illuminate the surface of the sign, which is exposed through the open side of the frame 10. i
y As shown particularly in Figures 2 and 3, the top plate or cover 13 of the frame 10 is provided with a pair of depending brackets 14: which are spaced lengthwise of the frame 10 and in which is slidably supported a rack bar 15 having on each end an armature or core 16 which may comprise extensions on the opposite ends of the rack bar 15 and which are slidably received in a pair of opposed solenoids 17 and 18. Each solenoid is `supported in a depending bracket or frame 19 secured to the underside of the top wall 13 of the-frame or casing 10 in position to hold the solenoids 17 vand 18 in axial alignment with the rack bar 15.
Within the casing or frame 10 there is also and the central open portion of the frame 2() is substantially filled with a plurality of vertically disposed panels or shutters 22. The shutters 22 in norma-l position are adapted to be arranged in a coinmon vertical plane with their edge portions substantially abuting so as -to present a relatively smooth fiat surface at the front of the sign. Each shutter 22 is provided at its lower end with a pivot pin 23 which is seated in a step beai'j ing 24 mounted on the lower bar of the frame 20. The upper end of each panel or shutter 22 is provided with a pin or shaft 25 which extends upwardly through` and has bearings in the top rail of the f rame 2 0, and the pins 23 and 25 are co-axially disposed intermediate the lateral edges and sides of the panels or shutters 22. The anels or shutters 22 are so mounted that tiey may freely swing orturn upon their pivotal support so that the opposite faces ofthe panels or shutters 22 may be alternately displayed through the front of the frame or casing 10.
Each pin or shaft 25 at the upper end of the panel or shutter 22 carries a pipion 26 which meshes with an adjacent toothed portion 27 of the rack bar 15, the rack bar 15 yis provided with a toothed portion 27 for each pinion 26, and the toothed portions are each of sufficient length to turn the ad] acent pinion 26 and shutter 22 through a complete half turn, and are so positioned upon the rack bar 15 that when the latter is in one completely shifted position one face of each shutter 22 is exposed through the front o f the casing 10 while when the rack bar 1,5 is shifted into a complete opposite position the opposite faces of the shutters or panels 22 are brought into display.
The casing 10 is also provided in its opposite ends with electriclanips 28 and 29 having suitable sockets 30 supported in the ends of the casing 10 and which are adapted one at a time to illuminate the surface of the The lamps 28 and 29 may if desired be of different colors so as to change the color effect ofthe sign as the latter is shifted hack and forth to change the display.
While any suitable circuit arrangement may be employed for alternately actuating the solenoids 17 and 18 and for alternately lighting the lamps 28 and 29, Figure 5 shows in diagram one circuit arrangement for accomplishing this purpose.
lin like manner, the opposite solenoid 18 is connected by a wire 40 with a brush 41 arranged at substantially 180 from thebrush 33 and adapted to engage the comiiiutator segment 34 and remain in contact therewith when a brush 33l is out of contact with the segment. The wire 40 has a branch 42 which includes the opposite lamp 29, the latter being grounded at 43. Current is supplied to the rotary switch from a generator 44, or other suitable source of electric current throughl wires 45 and 46, the latterbeing grounded while the wire 45 may be connected to a brush 47 which bears against the shaft 36 for supplying current to the switch.
lin operation, as the rotary switch continuously turns, the commutator section 34 first engages one brush, such as the brush 41 as shown in ligure 5 whereupon the solenoid 18 is energized and the lamp 29 is illuminated. The rays of the lamp 29 are thrown over the ou ter face of the panels or shutters 22 and the rays of the light are confined 'to the shutters by the hood 12. When the solenoid 18 is energized the rack bar 15 is thrown oppositely so as to turn the shutter 22 into a reverse position, such position lof the parts being shown in Figures 2 and 3 of the drawings. rlhe shutters or panels 22 are adapted to carry suitable lettering, configurations or the like adapted to be used in the display of the sign and the various data for display are disposed on opposite sides of the shutters 22 in such manner that when the shutters 22 are turned in one direction as shown, a complete word or design is set up within the frame 10 and exposed through the outer side thereof.
During the continuous rotation of the switch the commutator section or strip 34 is brought into engagement with the brush 33 and the solenoid 17 is energized while the current is broken with respect to the solenoid 18. The rack bar 15 may now shift and'is drawn into a reverse position by the direct pull of the solenoid 17. The shutters or panels 22 are thus swung around a complete half turn s o as to expose their opposite faces through the opening in the frame 10.
lt will be noted from the construction above described that the sign is relatively simple, light in weight and may be economically produced. It will also be noted that the sign is sturdy and cannot be easily delrfnged incident. to handling, vibration or the As the solenoid cores or armatures 16 extend lengthwise from the ends of the rack bar 15, the action of the Isolenoids is direct upon the rack bar and relatively light solenoids may be employed.
