Definitions
- the object of the invention patent is to guarantee the exclusive exploitation of a system designed for the immediate exposure of changeable sets of graphics, numerical or alphabetic signs of any language, which will be capable of being exchanged for other signs of the same series, all with the purpose of allowing the user to have before it, perfectly visible, a set of graphic signs that will indicate, for example, the price of a product in a type of currency, and allowing to change immediately, by simple manipulation, any of the graphics.
- the essential characteristics of the systems are described below. STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE
- the system for the immediate exposure of changeable sets of graphics will be applied to an element provided with the appropriate mechanism that will allow them to be easily located, through a predetermined series of openings or windows, the signs or graphics that are required, presenting for it various identical and battery-arranged means, as many as graphic signs must be made visible through the windows, so that by simple manipulation, by activating the device corresponding to the sign a change, it will cause the displacement of a sliding belt, support the aforementioned signs in sequence, until, once the desired graphic sign appears, leave the user to operate the mentioned device and the tape-holder stop sliding.
- an exhibitor made according to the system object of the present invention will have different and useful applications, preferably the most common commercial applications.
- the provision in one or several sets of graphics of the ordinary numerical series, will allow to reference in the different windows a figure equivalent to the cost of the object or product to be sold, while, for example and in a currently very useful application, in the other windows will appear the numbers corresponding to the previous price, but expressed in Euros, or in any other currency, exposed figures that will greatly facilitate the purchase and sale and exchange operations, as well as the assimilation of the cost or value of the products in the currency currently in force and in any other currency or in Euros, mainly for the Member States in which they are applicable.
- the system for the exhibition of graphics described will allow, when carried out in practice and consequently, place the numerical or alphabetic signs, so that they are visible from the outside through an opening, subdivided into windows, located on the front face of the exhibitor.
- a practical embodiment provides for the provision of various openings for displaying the same number of numbers by varying the number of windows according to the application of the device.
- an execution can be provided with a front window and a rear window, the exhibitor being thus provided with a double belt mechanism and doubling the thickness of the body in question.
- the display will be provided inside a series of identical elements, located on battery, as many as sets of graphics should be visible, said elements being designed so that by simple manipulation by the user, which will manually turn any of the disposed bushings for this purpose and will cause the displacement of the continuous or discontinuous sliding belt, on which the referred graphics are located in a logical sequence (in the case of numbers, by their ordinal sequence from zero to nine) ceasing to actuate in the moment the graphics desired by the window indicated, remaining, from that moment, the tape parked until you want to operate the device again.

- a rectangular prismatic body (1) of relatively thin thickness, provided on its front face or front (2) of one or two horizontal rows of rectangular windows (3) (3 '), in the case represented seven windows in each row, through which the graphic signs (4) and (4') will be visible such as numbers or letters, as appropriate and in accordance with the specific use of the device.
- suitable self-adhesive bands (6) are provided that will allow the definitive or occasional fixation of said body (1) against any surface.
- the exterior of the body (1) is completed with a ring or upper ring (8) tilting or fixed, which will allow, in the various support modes, to place, for example, a flexible flange (9) for fastening, as indicated by the Figure 10, or be hung from a suitable eyebolt (10), attached to a wall (7), as indicated in Figure 11, as well as, finally, be secured from the upper part of the foot support (11) as it is draws in figure 12.
- a ring or upper ring (8) tilting or fixed which will allow, in the various support modes, to place, for example, a flexible flange (9) for fastening, as indicated by the Figure 10, or be hung from a suitable eyebolt (10), attached to a wall (7), as indicated in Figure 11, as well as, finally, be secured from the upper part of the foot support (11) as it is draws in figure 12.
- the roller or axle assemblies that will hold the appropriate sliding support straps and that will allow their sliding are arranged, so that they show visibly, through the corresponding window, the desired graphic
- the sliding belt-support (12) is an endless belt, wrapped around the two rollers or end shafts (13), provided with protruding discs (14), which serve as a guide to said tapes (12) in its sliding, while allowing the user, with all simplicity and ease, to manually cause the rotation and consequently the sliding in one or another direction of the tapes (12) specifically the one that is desired to change from position so that any other graphic sign (4) appears through the corresponding window (3).
- the tape (12), coming from the roller or end shaft (13), in one embodiment (Fig. 4) is wound around the opposite internal smooth axis (15a), immediately moving around around the other internal smooth axis (15b), and from this, to finally wrap around the guide roller (13) of the other end, all in total continuity, said belt being perfectly tensioned by the action of the double set of inner axes.
- Figure 5 shows a simpler roller or axle system, for a shorter belt (12), also provided with two axles or end rollers (13), provided with guide discs (14), but with a single central smooth axis (16), which acts as a tensioner for said sliding belt-support (12).
- the tape (12) may not be endless and wound, film reel type (13 '), in sleeves with longitudinal cut (13 "), as shown in Figure 6.
- Figure 1 The practical embodiment explained and represented in Figure 1 is that of an exhibitor provided with two multiple sets of rollers or shafts and more particularly and by way of example, with seven tapes (12) each, as seen in the Figure 3, while Figure 2, in which the tapes have not been drawn, shows a display with a simple set of rollers or shafts, corresponding to Figure 5.
- the embodiment will allow two horizontal rows of windows (3) and (3 ') to be provided since two groups of sliding belts (12) (12') are available, while in the realization of the Figure 2, the exhibitor will have only a single row of windows (3), not shown, as it is equipped with a single set of sliding belts (12) (not drawn).
- graphic signs (4) or (4 ') may be both numbers and letters, as required, in accordance with the use of the display.
- an amount of up to seven figures may be displayed on the device drawn and more specifically an amount that may correspond to a price of an item in any type of currency and in the lower row another different but equivalent amount to another type of currency with which the public can instantly see its equivalence of the price in two different types of currency.
- the type of currency corresponding to each quantity or price will be written.
- the system for the immediate exposure of changeable sets of graphics, object of the present invention presents as a variant in its embodiment, the display consisting of a body (16) preferably rectangular prismatic, of blunt vertices and of little thickness in relation to its amplitude . It has, at its rear edge, cylindrical holes (17) for housing the axles (18) for securing and moving the rear cover (19) that conveniently closes the assembly, protecting its interior and forming a box.
- a rectangular opening (20) is placed, arranged longitudinally and divided into a row of identical windows (20a), six in the illustrated example, and which will correspond to the six continuous tapes (21 ) that the display is provided in the example drawn (Fig. 18).
- windows (20a) the coincident areas of each continuous belt (21) located below will be visible.
- the sides of each window (20a) are delimited by a suitable signaling (20b) that allows the aforementioned windows (20a) to be formed on the opening (20) and that help to correctly check the graphics (21a).
- pivots (22) On the inner and front face of the body (16) there are located a series of pivots (22), slightly frustoconical, arranged in a row just next to the edge of the rectangular opening (20) and in a total of seven in the example drawn, pivots which will serve as guides to prevent accidental lateral displacement of said tapes (21).
- "U" -shaped supports (22a) On the same inner face of the rear part of the body (16), "U" -shaped supports (22a), arranged in a row and so that a rear longitudinal axis is placed on them are arranged next to the articulation edge. (23), while said supports (22a) also constitute guides that will prevent the movement of the belts (21), when sliding around said axis (23).
- the aforementioned device for moving and supporting the continuous belts (21) constitutes it, in addition to the rear axle (23), in the case represented in figures 18 to 20, two intermediate tensioning shafts (24) and (25) and the front axle (26), which in turn is provided with a series of bushes (27) of preferably grooved surface constituting the dragging element of the belts (21) on said front axle (26), whose element allows to carry out the individual drag of each belt (21) by having each of these bushings (27) an overhanging surface edge (28) also striated, on which, manually, it will act to rotate the bushing and, together with it, cause the displacement by dragging of the respective tape (21).
- the possibility of acting manually on the respective tape, without acting on the edge (28), in an extreme case, is perfectly admissible.
- the mentioned bushings (27) in a total of six in the illustrated example are placed juxtaposed on the front axle (26), constituting a homogeneous assembly.
- Each belt (21) runs around the striated outer surface of the bushing (27), while the grooved edge (28), of larger diameter, also constitutes a guide that will prevent accidental lateral displacement of the respective continuous tape (21).
- the arrangement of the extreme shafts (23) and (26) as well as the tension shafts (24) and (25) and the belts, is clearly and very concretely drawn in Figure 20.
- the mentioned supports have, first of all, three equal recesses (32) with a flattened entrance and a rounded bottom and wider, so that the end of the corresponding shaft enters under pressure, to be securely fixed in said rounded bottom (32 ').
- These axes will be, specifically, the rear axle (23) and the intermediate tensioning shafts (24) and (25).
- these supports have a recess (33), with a profile equivalent to that of the previous ones, but located on an emerging pin (29a), of so that the front axle (26) when staying there under pressure will be somewhat more separated from the inner face of the body, allowing the arrangement and rotational movement of the bushings (27) together with their grooved edges (28).
- This pin will also keep the set of bushings (27) located on the shaft (26), very close to one of the following and without the possibility of moving laterally.
- the exhibitor may be used as a single element, or more than one, so that the user will have the possibility of having two or more sets of windows (20a) where different sets of graphics will be displayed, as required.
- the spaces (20b) may be indicated with other graphics, such as dots, commas, etc ..., so that through the general opening or window the figures appear, for example, with decimals.
- discontinuous belts (21 ') can be used as shown in Figure 33 and, in this case, the respective rollers or shafts (23') and (26 ') will be occupied by a series of bushings (27') in a manner equivalent to those described above but provided with protruding studs (34) on which appropriate perforations (35) made near the ends of the belts (21 ') will be housed.
