Abstract
This utility model relates in general to Advertising medium but more particularly to an Automated Rotating Billboards structures. The billboard structure comprising a billboard frame having lighting facility consisting of plurality of lighting fixtures secured thereto and being provided with a covering for securing advertisement thereon, the frame being supported by an upstanding post fixedly attached on its bottom portion thereof. The upstanding post comprising of a lower stationary post member and upper rotating post member. The upper post member is being adapted to rotate using an electric motor wherein the billboard is connected. With rotating billboard, it can be seen from all angles thus more efficient and convenient to use.
Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/448,333, filed Apr. 16, 2012, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/133,645, filed Jun. 8, 2011 (U.S. Pat. No. 8,156,670, issued Apr. 17, 2012), which is a United States National Stage Application under 35 U.S.C. §371 of International Patent Application No. PCT/PH2009/000012, filed Aug. 12, 2009, entitled “Automated Rotating Bill Board,” which claims the benefit to Philippines Application No. 2-2008-000534, filed Dec. 8, 2008, entitled “Automated Rotating Billboard,” each of which is incorporated by reference in their entirety for all intended purposes.
- This utility model relates in general to Advertising medium but more particularly to an Automated Rotating Billboards structures.
- Heretofore, existing billboards requires at least 100 square meters of lot area to mount a 40×60 steel frame structure, the problem in this kind of billboards is that it is too expensive to construct and there's a need for a bigger space.
- It is therefore the main object of the present utility model to provide a billboard that requires lesser space and can capture a niche in the market that can only be possible when it is strategically located that is, where contemporary outdoor billboards are not or cannot be positioned.
- Another problem with the existing billboards is that only two directions are visible to the public for viewing, with the present automated billboard, advertisers are enable to display their ad materials in different angles visible from all directions preferred at a given time. This will attract more advertisers as it offers a unique and wider scope in terms of capturing the attention of prospective clients.
- Furthermore the present utility model is light and easy to transport to desired location.
- Still another object of the utility model is to provide Automated Rotating Billboards that is easy to manufacture using locally available material and technology
- These and other object of the present utility model will be apparent upon reading the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an Automated Rotating Billboard with longitudinal rectangular billboard frame; -
FIG. 2 is a partial exploded perspective view of the moving mechanism thereof; and -
FIG. 3 is a partial sectional view of the interconnection of the upper and lower post members. - Referring now to the several views of the drawings, wherein like reference numerals designate same parts throughout, there is shown a utility model for Automated Rotating Billboard generally designated as 10.
- Said automated rotating
billboard 10 comprises abillboard frame 11 having lighting facility “L” consisting of plurality of lighting fixtures secured thereto and being provided with a covering for securing advertisement thereon. Saidbillboard frame 11 preferably made of steel structure frame, the size of the frame vary in height and width. The height is proportionate to its body and base to maintain its sturdiness from top to bottom. Saidframe 11 being supported by anupstanding post 12 fixedly attached on its bottom portion thereof. The improvement wherein said upstandingpost 12 comprising of a lowerstationary post member 13 and upper rotatingpost member 14. Said lower stationarypost member 13 being fixedly connected to the ground preferably to a concrete slab “S” by bolting and being provided on its upper end portion with a connectingplate 131 and provided below said connectingplate 131 is amotor housing 132 wherein anelectric motor 133 is being disposed therein. Theelectric motor 133 having a upwardly extendingpinion gear 134 adapted to be meshed to abearing assembly 15 of said upper rotatingpost member 14. Said bearingassembly 15 comprising of a circular ring 151 adapted to be fixedly attached to said connectingplate 131 preferably by bolting. The circular ring 151 being provided with anannular gear 152 rotatively in communication to the inner circumference of said circular ring 151. Theannular gear 152 being meshed to saidpinion gear 134 and adapted to be fixedly attached to an upper connectingplate 141 of said upper rotatingpost member 14 preferably by bolting. The upper connectingplate 141 being provided on its lower side portion with anextension shaft 142 with a rotatingdisc 143 on its free end which extends within said lower stationarypost member 13 and meshed to acentral bore 144 of an auxiliary supportingplate 16 fixedly attached to the inner side portion of the lower cylindrical post. The upper connectingplate 141 is adapted to support the cylindricalupper post member 14. - Said motor rotates said pinion gear and transfer its rotation to said annular gear to which the upper rotating post member wherein the
billboard frame 11 is fixedly attached, thus it also rotates. - This structure can withstand typhoon and gusty winds even with the tarpaulin on. The lighting facility secured inside the billboard frame providing bright illumination evenly diffused on both faces of the tarpaulin ad material.
- Said bearing assembly is disposed at the end of the external portion of the upper cylinder allowing ease in the rotation and prevent the motor from being over-loaded or over worked. The efficiency of bearing function and the accuracy in the calculation to determine the fulcrum point center where weight is balance from all sides of the moving cylinder should lessen the friction that will allow ease in rotation and save on electricity and prevent motor from being over-worked or over-loaded.
- The foregoing description is provided for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as in any way limiting this utility model, the scope of which is defined solely by the appended claims.
