In figures 1 and 2 it is observed that bus shelters or bus stops are basically formed by a rear panel (1) that has a base (2), on which a bench or seat (3) is attached, which is placed in parallel to the street axis. At an angle of 90 ° with respect to the rear panel (1) and perpendicular to the axis of the street, the bus shelter has a side panel that has an inner frame (6) where an acrylic showcase (7) is located for Display a first advertising sign. This side panel has an exterior frame (8) to the outside where a showcase (9) is located to display a second advertising sign. This entire panel structure takes an "L" shaped configuration, which has a roof (4) with an edge (5) in the upper part, which is generally slightly inclined, for the purpose of capturing the rainwater

In Figure 3, a bus shelter or bus stop of a configuration similar to that shown in Figures 1 and 2 is observed. In this case, pillars (10) emerge on the rear panel (1) that allow the roof (4) to be supported. . In Figure 4, a bus shelter or bus stop of a configuration similar to that shown in Figures 1 and 2 is observed, however, in this case the rear panel (1) has cylindrical pillars (10), from whose upper part they protrude in cantilever curved beams (11), to support a thin roof (12) also curved, being in some cases said roof, of translucent material.

As shown in figures 5, the present invention is related to a panel (13) of the visor type, to be installed in shelters or bus stops of conventional buses. Said panel is installed through a fixing means in the edge or in the internal part of the roof (4) of the shelter or whereabouts. The fixing means can have a groove that follows the contour of the front part of the edge (5) of said roof (4). Alternatively, the panel (13) in some embodiments of this invention is installed in the lower face of the ceiling (4). The panel (13) is formed by an assembly comprising an interior frame (14) having a central recess, in such a way that the vision of an advertisement placed behind said frame is possible; an advertising block (15) for display of advertising, which has an inner face and an outer face, for the display of advertising, where the contour of the inner face splices with the inner frame (14); an outer plate (16) as a cover, which has an inner face and an outer face, wherein the inner face splices with the advertising block (15); and a fixing means (17) joining the inner frame (14), the advertising block (15) and the outer plate (16) with the roof (4) of the bus shelter or bus stop. This panel (13) is installed on the roofs of bus shelters or bus stops, having an inclination of between 30 ° to 60 °, with respect to the vertical axis of the shelter or whereabouts.

The panel (13) preferably has the same width as the front length of the roof of the shelter or bus stop and a sufficient height, to act as a protector for the user of the shelter or whereabouts, and at the same time, to display an advertising sign .

Figure 6 shows a first mode of the panel (13), wherein the advertising block (15) is formed by a translucent sheet (18), which has an advertising form on its outer surface. In addition, the advertising block (15) can have a container (19) that stores the lighting means, so that the advertising of the translucent sheet (18), is seen during the night. When the outer plate is replaced by an outer frame (26), it is possible to place a second translucent sheet on the outside, so that the advertising can be seen from the outside, for example by the passengers of the bus.

In a preferred construction of this first embodiment, the outer plate (16) is adhered to the fixing means (17), generating a profile in the form of "inverted L". Attached to the inner face of the outer plate (16) is installed the container (19) that can store the lighting means. On the inner side of the latter, the translucent sheet (18) or other similar material is installed, where on the inner surface, the advertisement is arranged, said acrylic plate having the same width as the outer plate (16). This translucent sheet (18) splices from the lower edge of the outer plate (16) to a sufficient height, to form a groove (27) that has sufficient clearance to fit the leading edge (5) of the roof (4) . On the translucent sheet (18), the inner frame (14) is installed, which has a central recess for the vision of the commercial, located on the edge of the inner face of said translucent sheet (18). The inner frame (14) also has the same width as the outer plate (16) and the same height as the translucent sheet (15), in such a way to maintain the thickness of the groove (27) to perform the installation on the edge (5) and on the roof (4).

The outer plate (16), the container (19) that can store the lighting means, the translucent sheet (18) and inner frame (14) are joined by conventional means in the art, such as screws, bolts or similar. (not shown), thus forming a panel (13) of the visor type to be installed in the mentioned bus shelters or bus stops.

Figure 7 shows a second mode of the panel (13), wherein the advertising block (15) is formed by a plurality of triangular prisms

(20), which allow to show advertising on its three faces as the triangular prisms (20) move in a synchronized manner, with which a mobile advertising display panel is obtained.

Figure 8 shows a third modality of the panel (13), where the advertising block (15) is formed by an endless curtain (21), which is moved by rollers (22), which allow to show advertising on both sides to the extent that the rollers (22) move in a synchronized manner, whereby a mobile advertising display panel is obtained.

Figure 9 shows a fourth mode of the panel (13), where the advertising block (15) is made up of an electronic media container box (23), on whose front face it has a screen (25), to display visual advertisements . Alternatively, this mode may have speakers (25) that allow sound to be generated, so that the advertising is shown in an audiovisual way.

The panel of the present invention can display advertising on the internal side that faces the passengers, or, on the external face shown towards the passenger vehicles. To optimize the advertising surface, the panel (13) can display advertising on both sides. This mode is shown in Figure 10, where the panel (13) has an internal frame (14), and also an external frame (26). Figures 13 to 18 show an exemplification of the present invention, wherein the panel (13) is installed on the outer edge (5) of the roof (4) of a bus shelter or bus stop. For this purpose, the fixing means (17) has a groove (27) that fits on the outer edge (5), and is then adhered through conventional joining systems known in the art.
