  • the plates [52] "4W3540/77'7 standing on the straight edges of the semicircles, form 2; together a good sight-surface of the advertising board.
  • the 1 e o m l number of plates in each group equals the number of difierent I plate positionings and different sight-surfaces.
  • the mechanism [561 Refer cued that changes position of the plates consists of a revolving and UNITED STATES PATENTS steeflng System- 5 Claims, 20 Drawing Figures ADVERTISING BOARD BACKGROUND OF INVENTION 1.
  • Field ofthe Invention The invention concerns an advertising board with a sightsurface e.g., in form of a picture on the front side of the sightelements of the board which is formed by the interchangeable sight-elements set near byone another which form the sets of movable sight-elements of the board.
  • sight-elements in each of these sets are spaced equally and for rotation about a common axis extending substantially alone one edge of said sight-elements.
  • one sight-element in every set rotates by 180 it changes its position and covers the neighboring sight-element positioned behind it on the sight-element and opens to view that next sight-element, which rotating slowly takes place of the preceding sight-element on the sight-surface. In this way the sight and the picture are changed by other sight-elements and other faces of sight'elements.
  • the sight-elements are shaped in such a manner that in the transversal cross section each sight-element enlarge more and more, beginning from its edge along which it is rotationally mounted.
  • said cross section is of triangular configuration. In this way the sight-elements are stiffened by making them thicker at their external edges.
  • the sight-elements shaped in this way have the form of a prism of two opposite and equal faces, of rectangular shape and a more shorter third one placed at the periphery ofthe set.
  • the sight-elements are provided with rolls on their lower parts the intermediary ofwhich they are supported on a bearing plate of the frame of the board and on which they may turn round said axis.
  • Each set is provided with a driving member that rotates the sight-elements round their axles and is coupled with suitable power means and transmitting means which are common for all the set ofsight-elements of the board.
  • FIG. 1 to 4 show schematically the cross section of the advertising board consisting of three sets of sight-elements, each of them of four sight-elements. In the drawing four different positions of said sight-elements are shown.
  • FIG. 5 shows the sight surface of the board formed by the sight-elements in their position visible in FIG. 4.
  • FIG. 6 shows schematically in a cross section the sight-elements of the board shaped in form ofa prism.
  • FIG. 7 shows the upper part of a sight-element of a prism
  • FIG. 8 the section along the line A-A of FIG. 7.
  • FIG. 9 shows the lower part of a sight-element of a prism
  • FIG. 10 the section along the line B-B of FIG. 9.
  • FIG. 11 present the front view of the board and its sight-surface.
  • FIG. 12 shows the section along the line C-C
  • FIGS. 13 and 14 the section along the line D-D ofFIG. 11, but FIG. 14 shows the driving member of the sight-elements in a different position.
  • FIG. 15 shows the revolving means pertaining to a given set of sight-elements.
  • FIG. 16 shows the frame E-E ofFIG. 11.
  • FIG. 17 shows a sectional view of said board on line G-G, of FIG. 16 and FIG. 18 a sectional view on line H-H of FIG. 16 with a part of the bearing plate with the roll.
  • FIG. 19 shows a sectional view along line FF of FIG. 11 and FIG. 20 represents a schematic view of the lower part of the advertising board seen from the rear of the board, showing the steering means, i.e., the power and transmitting means which actuate the various driving members.
  • the steering means i.e., the power and transmitting means which actuate the various driving members.
  • the advertising board shown schematically in FIGS. 1 to 5 consists of three set of sight-elements each of them having 4 which keep the same relative positions in all sets.
  • the sight-elements 4 and 1 form together the sight-surface of the board.
  • the result of the successive rotations of the plates is that their positions in the sets change; at the first single rotation of the driving member the sight-elements marked 1 take now places of the sight-elements 4, the sight-elements 4-the places ofthe sight-elements 3, the sight-elements 3-the'places of the sight-elements 2, and the sight-elements 2the places of the sight-elements 1 (FIG. 2).
  • the sight-surface of the advertising board will be formed by the sight-elements 1 and 2. Will that rotation be repeated, then the sight-elements 2 will turn round by and the other sight-elements by 60; the sight-surface of the board will be changed and it will be changed and it will be formed by the plates marked 2 and 3(FIG. 3). After another single rotation of the sight-elements the sight-surface will be changed again and will be formed by the sight-elements 3 and be rotated in the same way for, the fourth time, they will return to their initial positions, which they had occupied before the first change of their places and the sight-surface will be formed again by the sight-elements 4 and 1 (FIG. 1). Each side element, as; it can be seen in the drawing, enters by turns, with each face to form the sight-surface of the board.
  • the sight-elements 1, 2, 3 and forming the three sets of the advertising board shown in the drawings (FIG. 6 to 20) of the board according to section sockets are provided with eyes 7 set on the axle 9,
  • each sight-element is provided with a roll 10; it is fixed on the bearing plate by a fork holder.
  • the sight-elements rest on their rolls on a supporting plate, which is a part of the frame 8, and the rolls turn on it round the axle (FIG. 9, 11, 20).
  • shock absorbers comprising angle levers 12 and spiral springs 13.
  • bumpers l4 fixed at the bearing plates 5 to keep equal spacings between the sight-elements (FIG. 12).
  • a fixed spindle 15 is provided for cooperating with the driving member of the revolving means (FIG. 9).
  • the upper and lower axles 9 are bedded in tubes 16 and I7 fastened to the crossbars of the frame 8.
  • the tubes 17 at the bottom of the frame 8 have not only got to provide the bearing for the axle 9 but serve as well as axles of the driving members moving round the-sight-elements of the sets.
  • the revolving means of each set comprises a gear 18 fixed by the sleeve 19 with the disc 20 assembled together with it on the tube 17 (FIG.
  • the disc is provided with a driving member consisting of a slider 22 which is maintained in its operative position shown on FIG. 13 and 14 by the spring 21; the oblique nose 23 of this slider protrudes beyond the disc and projects beyond the spindles 15 of the bearing plates 5 (FIG. 13 and 14).
  • the rack 29 is connected by a knuckle 32 at one of its ends with the lever 30 by a knuckle 34 at its other end with the arm 31; the arms 30 and 31 are respectively articulated on the frame 8 at points 33 and thereof, and the distances between knuckles 32 and 34 of the rack 29 and between the points 33 and 35 being equal, as well as the distances between point 33 and knuckle 32 and between point 34 and knuckle 35 (FIG. 20); therefore the rack keeps during the run an horizontal position.
  • rolls 36 are rotationally mounted about the stationary axles 40 which adhere to the smooth side of the rack 29 (FIG. 19).
  • the lever 30 is connected at its lower end by a knuckle with one end of the rod 41 of the crank 42 fixed to the sprocket-wheel or gear 44 the axle 43 of which is rotationally mounted in the crossbar 45 of the frame 8 (FIG. 11 and 20).
  • the sprocket-wheel 44 is coupled by a chain 46 with the pinion 47 set up stationary on the axle 48 of the gear box 50 driven by the electric motor 49. All the parts of the advertising board are covered externally except the sight-surface by a frame element 51 (marked in FIG. 11) which is a part of the frame 8.
  • the sight-surface of this advertising board is formed, as shown in FIG. 1 and 11, by the sight-elements and 1 of the three sets.
  • the revolving means including the steering system keep the final position, shown in FIG. 11 and 20, after the sight-surface ofthe board was changed.
  • the angle levers 12 of the shock absorbers on the sight-elements l, 2, 3 are pressed in by the bumpers 14 and their springs 13 stretched, and therefore the sight-elements l, 2, 3 and 4 of each set repulse one another. But this does not cause the sight-elements to move because the sight-elements 4 are blocked by the hinged element 27, and the sight-elements l by the sills 26 (FIGS. ll, l2, l7 and 18).
  • the nose 23 of the slider 22 of each revolving means is close to the spindle 15 of every sight-elements 4; and the arm of the lever 30 keeps a limit angular position corresponding to a first dead point the crank 42 (FIG. l1, l3 and 20).
  • the crank 42 rotates uniformly the sprocket wheel 44 by means of the pinion 47 46. Therefore the crank 42 executes a semirevolution and, moves the lever 30, by the intermediary of the rod to its other limit angular position and said lever 30 pulls the rack 29, which turns simultaneously round their axles 17, the gears 18.
  • the revolving movement of the gear 18 causes simultaneously the identical revolving movement, by the intermediary of the sleeve 19, the disc 20 and the slider 22.
  • the nose 23 of said slider withdraws gradually in each set from the spindle 15 of the sight-element 4 (FIG. 13) and approaches the spindle 15 of the sight-element 1.
  • the nose 23 rubs with its oblique side the spindle 15 of the sight-element 1 and is moved towards the axle 9 the spring 21 being thus compressed by the translation of the slider 22. Consequently, the nose 23 comes min behind the spindle 15 (FIG. 14).
  • the nose comes again in its outward position and remains abutting on the spindle l5 ofthe sight-element 1 (FIG. 14).
  • the angle levers l2 and the springs 13 stretched by them repulse reciprocally, the so that spacings between the sight'element increase and the sight-elements 2 take the places of the sight-element 1.
  • their bumpers 14 press on the angle levers 12 of the shock absorbers of the sight-elements 4 and press them gradually, so that under the stretching force of their springs 13, the sight-elements 4 make a fraction of revolution on their axles and their places are taken by the sight-elements l.
  • the sight-surface of the board is formed now by the sightelements 1 and 2, as it is shown in FIG. 2 and remains unchanged when the crank executes another semirevolution. Then, after a further semirevolution of the crank the picture of the sight-surface changes in the above-mentioned manner previously described. Said picture is formed now by the sightelements 2 and 3, as shown in FIG. 3. At each subsequent full revolution of the crank the picture of the sight-surface of the board is always changed since it includes, in each set, one of the sight-faces of a new sight-element as well as a new sight- I face of the sight-element previously displayed (FIG. 1 to 4).
  • the above-described advertising board is not limited to three sets of plates each consisting of four sight-elements.
  • the number of sets, as well as the number of sight-elements in every set is not arbitrary. If the advertising board consists of more than three sets then the number of individual revolving means is suitably greater, but if the sets consist of more than four sight-elements then the spacings between them must be smaller and therefore the bumpers suitably shorter.
  • the elements of the board can be made of different materials e.g., wood, metal,
  • the advertisements and announcements can be 4 painted directly on the sight-faces of the sight-elements of the board or placards and advertisements glued on said sight-elements. They may be of course suitably cut before or after fixmg.
  • an advertising board exhibiting a plane sight-surface and comprising a plurality of sets of interchangeable sight-elements having two opposite rectangular sight-faces liable to constitute said sight-surface and having the same dimensions at least on a same set, the sight-elements of each set being rotatably mounted on a frame along one of the longitudinal side ofsaid rectangular faces around a common axis located in a plane determining a sight-side corresponding to said sightsurface and a non-sight-side, the axes of said sets running parallel with one another, and the distance between the axes of two consecutive sets being equal to the sum of the common width of the rectangular faces of the elements of one of the said two sets and of the common width of the rectangular faces of the elements of the other of said two sets, revolving means for revolving each set of sight-elements, each said revolving means being ofa type communicating a reciprocating rotary movement of a constant angular value to a driving member rotatably mounted around the common axis
  • each said spacer is rigidly connected, at one of its ends, to one of the sight-elements of said group, the other one of said sightelements carrying shock-absorbing means liable to be depressed by said spacer for absorbing shocks between said sight-elements, and said revolving means comprise steering means communicating to said driving members an increasing speed at the beginning of said single rotation in said direction and a decreasing speed at the end of said single rotation in said direction.
  • said steering means are common for all said driving members and comprise a gear-cranl -rod system the gear of which is rotated by a constant speed motor, transmitting means connected to the end of said rod opposite to said crank on the one hand and to a rack of a rack and gears system on the other hand, to reciprocate said rack, said rack being substantially perpendicular to said axes and parallel to said plane and the gears of said system, in meshing engagement with said rack, being each rigidly connected to a corresponding one of said driving members for rotation therewith.
  • said first stop member consists of a sill engageable by said roller and having an height sufficient to block the sight-element supported by said roller against free rotation of said sight-element but insufficient to prevent the passage of said roller over it when said sight-element is rigidly connected to and actuated by said driving member.
  • said second retractable stop member consists of an hinged element having a retractable position and a stop position, and comprising a substantially vertical face engagealble by said roller in said stop position, and of resilient means urging said hinged element in said stop position, the retractable strength of said resilient means being such as to allow the passage of said roller over said stop member, by depressing it, when said sight-element is rigidly connected to and actuated by said driving member,
