Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to conveyors, especially endless conveyors such as baggage carousels, and more particularly to a conveyor or a carousel wherein the load carrying platforms include indicia such as advertisements.
  • Conveyors for carrying items from one location to another location are well known in the art. Conveyors are often placed into an endless essentially circular position for dispensing baggage at an airport for instance. These endless conveyors are often called carousels because the baggage is placed onto the platform sections of the conveyor from a centrally located distributing point and the baggage is available to the passengers around either a circular or an oval pickup area.
  • the platform that carries the baggage around the carousel includes a plurality of panels that are generally rectangular and overlay or abut their preceding panels to cover the circular area, especially around the ends of the oval section.
  • Advertisements are often placed on the center non-moving section of the carousel to display the benefits of staying in the local area around the airport or to advertise the different airlines.
  • the advertising area is extremely limited since the people to whom the advertising is directed generally locate into one specific position around the carousel to retrieve their baggage and thereby only see a small section of the total advertising that could be placed on the non-rotating section of the carousel.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a conveyor, especially a carousel conveyor, having an enhanced means for displaying indicia to the receiver of items mounted on the conveyor.
  • the present invention is an improvement to a conveyor wherein plates or panels that carry the items on the conveyor include indicia to continuously display information as the plates or panels pass an observer perhaps waiting to remove the items from the conveyor.
  • the conveyor includes a means to support the panels and a means to transport the panels in sequence one after the other from first to last and again repeating with the first panel.
  • the indicia is placed on a viewable section of the panels. A plurality of sequentially placed panels can display an entire scene or advertisement, with each panel containing a portion of the total scene.
  • the improvement to the conveyor which can be a circular or oval shaped baggage carousel, includes a plurality of sheets of a thin, smooth, slippery material with each of the sheets having visual information printed thereon. Means then are included for fastening each of the plurality of sheets to a flat surface of one of the plates of the carousel or conveyor. A series of the plurality of sheets are mounted on adjacent plates to depict a single scene.
  • a taped strip can be fastened to each of the panels of the conveyor having a sheet fastened to the panel. The taped strips are fastened to the section of each of the panels with the sheets at the section that is covered by the adjoining trailing plate when the panel is operating within the conveyor or carousel operation.
  • An adhesive can be used to fasten each of the plurality of sheets to the panels as well as fastening the taped strips to the overlapping section of the panels.
  • Each of the sheets can be fastened only to the exposed viewable section of the panel as it is in operation on the conveyor.
  • the sheets can be made of a thin layer of a plastic material, for instance. Sheets can also include holes drilled therethrough with the sheets then fastened to each of the panels by a snap rivet. Screws could be substituted for the snap rivets if desired.
  • a method for depicting visual information on a conveyor or a carousel which includes a plurality of panels forming the support for the items carried by the conveyor includes the steps of first obtaining a self-supporting thin layer of material and cutting the material to the size of each panel of the conveyor, particularly covering the viewable section of the panel. The visual information required is then formed on each of the cut layers of material that is to be exposed on the panel. The thin layer of material with the formed visual information is then fastened to an associated panel of the conveyor. An elongated strip of a flexible slippery material is then fastened to an edge of each of the panels of the conveyor on an edge of the panel where it is overlapped by an adjacent panel to form the complete item support for the conveyor or the carousel.
  • the step that fastens the thin layer of material to an associated panel can include the steps of drilling a series of matching holes through the layer of material and its associated panel and holding the material to the panel by inserting plastic rivets into the drilled holes.
  • Another method for depicting visual information onto a conveyor or a carousel, in particular having a plurality of panels forming the support for the items carried by the conveyor or carousel includes the steps of fastening a first elongated strip of a flexible, smooth, slippery material to an edge of each of the panels of the conveyor, the edge being along a side of each plate where it is overlapped by an adjacent plate to form the item support of the conveyor or the carousel.
  • the visual information is formed on a first side of a flexible sheet of material with an adhesive applied to a second side of the sheet of material.
  • a smooth, slippery coating is then applied to the formed side of the obtained sheet of material.
  • the flexible sheet of material is then attached to adjacent series of the panels of the conveyor or carousel by pressing the adhesive to the panels when the panels are adjacent to each other to form the total information required.
  • the attached flexible sheet of material is then cut to the size of the exposed section of each panel.
  • a second elongated strip of a flexible slippery material is then fastened to an edge of each of the panels having the layer of material fastened thereto.
  • the edge where the elongated strip is fastened is a side of each of the panels where it overlaps the adjacent panel to form the item support of the conveyor or the carousel.
  • Each of the panels can be removed from the conveyor before the first elongated strip is fastened to an edge of the panel. The panel is then replaced after the step of fastening the first elongated strip to the edge of the panel.
  • the conveyor and/or the baggage carousel can be a standard well-known conveyor having a series of adjacent plates or panels and in particular a carousel having a series of panels with each panel overlapping one adjacent panel and in turn being overlapped by its trailing adjacent panel.
  • the panels can be attached to support bars connected to rollers which follow a track or rails formed such as a continuous belt conveyor or as a circular baggage carousel configuration covering an elongated oval where the exposed sections of the plate are rectangular along the elongated section of the oval and form a rhomboid when the plates further overlap to cover the circular ends of each oval.
  • Means are included such as an electrical motor to pull the support bars over the rails with the support bars interconnected to each other by a chain, for instance.
  • the plates or panels can be fastened to each of the support bars by screws.
  • the baggage carousel can include an upper rail enclosing a platform together with a baggage loading means which could be a belt conveyor carrying the baggage from the hidden loading area to the baggage carousel.
  • the baggage is unloaded by the belt conveyor onto the baggage carousel and contained by a lower rail to avoid spilling the baggage from the baggage carousel.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an enhanced baggage carousel by providing indicia visible to a person removing items from the carousel.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a conveyor which could be a baggage carousel having individual sheets of indicia fastened to individual plates of the conveyor.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a conveyor or a baggage carousel wherein a length of indicia is fastened to a series of the plates and then size adjusted to the panels.
  • Still another object is to provide a conveyor such as a baggage carousel wherein the indicia placed onto the panels of the conveyor are protected by a smooth, slippery material as the panels move over and against the indicia.
  • Another object is to provide a method of fastening the indicia to the panels of the conveyor.

  • a section is cut out of the elevated platform 14 for a baggage loading means such as a belt conveyor 20.
  • the belt conveyor 20 carries the baggage from a baggage loading area 22 which is generally placed at a lower level.
  • the belt conveyor 20 carries the baggage up to the height of the platform 14 to slide the baggage onto the panels 12. Since the panels 12 are at an inclined angle, the baggage will slide down the panels 12 from the level of the upper rail 16 down to the level of the lower rail 18.
  • the panels 12 are generally essentially rectangular shaped, especially along the straight runway section of the carousel 12, and then the trailing plate 12 slides over its preceding adjacent plate to accomplish the 180 degree turn around the end of the oval section of the carousel 10.
  • Fig. 2 shows a cutaway section of the carousel to show the individual panels 12 and a section of the transport means that causes the panels 12 to be transported around the circumference of the carousel 10.

  • the indicia 52 is then prepared either on a plastic material or a standard grade of paper.
  • the advertisement for instance can be printed upon the paper or the plastic material, or a silk screening could be used to prepare the indicia layer 52.
  • the width of each section of the indicia 52 is determined when the panels 12 are placed along the straightaway section of the carousel 10.
  • the indicia 52 covers at least the viewable section of each of the panels as was previously discussed in Figs. 3 and 14.
  • Each section of the indicia 52 need not be firmly adhered to its associated panel 12.
  • the section of the protective panel 54 is then prepared by using a one-eighth inch thick, for instance, layer of plastic.
  • the length and width dimensions of the protective layer 54 preferably are the same as the panels 12 as discussed with Fig. 15.
  • the holes 55 are formed through the plastic by drilling for instance to exactly meet with the holes 50 previously formed into each of the plates 12.
  • Each of the protective panels are placed over at least the viewable section of each of the plates 12 and the plastic rivets 56 are then pressed through the holes 55 in the panel 54, through the indicia 52 and through the holes 50 formed into the plates 12 as is shown in Fig. 16. Since the protective panels 54 preferably are the same size as the plates 12, the leading edge of the panels 12 must be lifted and the protective layer 54 must be placed under the leading edge of the trailing panel 12. This permits the panels to slide over the protective layer 54 and thereby protects the indicia 52 from damage especially when the plates make the bend around the curve in the oval.
  • a leading edge tape 58 can be placed over the leading edge of each of the panels 12 which contain indicia 52 and the protective layer 54 as is shown in Fig. 15. Again, an equal amount of the leading edge tape 58 should be placed on top of the protective sheet 54 and on the bottom of the panel 12 in a manner similar to that shown in Fig. 10 for the leading edge tape 44.
  • the present invention is capable of being exploited in any situation where persons wait at conveyors.
