Wl ND-AC-TUATED ADVERTISING DEVICE.
SPECIFICATION forming part or Letters Patent No. 704,002, dated July 8, 1902.
Application filed October 21, 1901. Serial No. 79,446. (No model.) I
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that we, CLINTON G. ORIBBS and FRANCIS M. ALLERTON, citizens of the United States of America, residing at Benton Harbor, in the county of Berrien and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wind-Actuated Advertising Devices, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in wind-actuated advertising devices; and it has for its objects, first, to produce rotatable signs and means whereby said signs are carried by the action of the wind; second, to produce aerial advertising-signs which are carried around a fixed point, said signs being mounted to partially rotate; third, to produce an aerial advertising device which will prove efficient and satisfactory in use and comparatively inexpensive to produce and sustain.
In describing the invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in which" Figure 1 is a view in elevation of an advertising device embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a detail view of a sign and its support.
In the drawings, 1 denotes a suitable upright support having a bearing 2 at its upper end for the reception of the spindle 3 of the hub 4, said hub and spindle being connected to rotate together. Spokes 5 radiate from the hub and extend through apertures in a ring 6 and forming a wheel-like frame, which rotates with the spindle. Each alternate spoke has an upwardly-disposed end 7, forming a spindle, in which a series of signs 8 are mounted and partially rotatable, The remaining spokes have downwardly-disposed ends,formsupports for a series of signs 9, held thereon by the nuts 10. Spring-fingers 11 are coiled about the extensions of the spokes and have their ends projecting upwardly into the path of rotation of the signs in order to prevent their turning entirely around. An arm 12 projects upwardly from the hub and carries a sign 13, which turns as the hub is rotated.
The construction, operation, and advantages will, it is thought, be understood from the foregoing description, it being noted that various changes may be made in the proportions and details of construction for successfully carrying the invention into practice without departing from the scope of the claims.
We claim- 1. In a wind-actuated advertising device, an upright, a hub on the upright, spokes radiating from the hub, a ring through which the spokes project, signs on the spokes and spring-fingers for arresting the signs.
2. In a Wind-actuated advertising device, an upright, a frame rotatable thereon and comprising a hub, spokes radiating therefrom, and a ring through which the spokes protrude, said spokes alternately projecting upwardly and downwardly and spring-fingers on the extensions for arresting the signs.
In testimony whereof we 'aflix our signatures, in the presence of two witnesses, this 11th day of October, 1901.
' CLINTON G. ORIBBS.
FRANCIS M. ALLERTON.
