A MOVEMENT SYSTEM FOR OBJECTS DISPLAYED FOR SALE

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a mechanism that moves the objects displayed on store windows, in current competitive market conditions, where it is becoming more and more important for producing companies to display small details to consumers and take advantage thereof to gain appreciation of consumers.

PRIOR ART

In today's world, when competitive market conditions prevail, producers display their products using such configurations as dummies, shelves, etc. In this case, particularly, the stores displaying textile products display the clothes on dummies from a single view and thus, not being able to exhibit all the properties of the clothes. As for the consumers, they need to spend extra time viewing clothes in detail, since such properties as cut, design, and model of a textile product, e.g. a dress, are presented incompletely on a dummy; or they will not be eager to buy the product as they are not impressed by the parts displayed.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

It is one of the most important issues for sales companies to stimulate eagerness to buy in order to gain customers, since they spend quite a large amount of their potential profits on such promotional materials as ads, displays, exhibitions, etc. so as to promote people to buy. In particular, clothing shops, textile products shops, and wedding gown shops require direct contact with the customers, whereby the consumers are impressed by the product and want to buy it; therefore, such stores should be located on streets and avenues where many people pass by. Moreover, the parts facing the streets and avenues are preferably used as store windows. Hence, the multi-axis movement capability of products displayed; besides, the attention of the passers-by is attracted to store windows. Thus, it will also be possible to attract the attention of the passers-by as well as displaying the products for those interested.

Our system can also be used, optionally, in such display places as fair booths, outdoor exhibitions, streets, avenues, squares etc. in accordance with the type of product to be displayed.

Bearing Guide The invention relates to a controllable system capable of moving objects in store windows multi-axially consisting of; electric motor (1 ), reducer (2), belt and pulley apparatus (3), timing belt (4), rack gear (5), fixation plate (6), fixed slipper (7), movable slipper (8), 360° rotary gear (9), tensioning device (10), carrying wheel (1 1 ), product anchor rod (12), switch (13), retention apparatus (14), electronic circuit (15), linear slipper (16), bracket (17), and bearing guide (18) parts.

The movement received from electric motor (1 ) is reduced to the desired revolution via reducer (2). The movement whose revolution is reduced is transmitted to movable slipper (8) by means of belt and pulley apparatus (3). Thus, movable slipper (8) moves back and forth on the fixed slipper (7). Movable slipper (8) consists of a gear and a gear system; and carrying wheel (1 1 ) is fixed to rotary gear (9) on the movable slipper (8). 360° rotary gear (9) is supported by a bearing which is placed on movable slipper and under rotary gear (9), and has a rotational freedom of 0-360 degrees. 360° rotary gear (9) receives the rotation movement from rack gear (5) fixed onto the linear slipper (8). Rack gear (5) is fixed on the linear slipper (16). Linear slipper (16) moves with movable slipper (8) between retention apparatus (14) at the same time where movable slipper (8) is connected to the linear slipper ( 6) via brackets (17). Retention apparatus (14) are placed on heads of fixation plate (6) bilaterally in the same direction with rack gear (5). Rack gear (5) that fixed on the linear slipper (16) moves back and forth as in the same direction with movable slipper (8) via connection of linear slipper (16) to movable slipper (8). Linear slipper (16) and rack gear (5) stop and remain steady when rack gear (5) that fixed on the linear slipper (16) touches to the retention apparatus (14). A bearing guide (18) is used under bracket (17), which is providing connection of movable slipper (8) to linear slipper (16), and in the linear slipper (16). This bearing guide (18) is motionless in the linear slipper (16) when linear slipper (16) is moving with movable slipper (8). However, bearing guide (18) starts to move with movable slipper (8) when linear slipper (16) and rack gear (5) stop by touching to retention apparatus (14). By the moving ability of bearing guide (18) (16) without any fixed connection points when linear slipper (16) and rack gear (5) stop by touching to retention apparatus (14). Thus, movable slipper (8) remains motion when linear slipper (16) stopped and provides rotation of rotary gear (9) on the rack gear (5). Thereby, carrying wheel (1 1 ) that fixed on rotary gear (9) turns with rotary gear (9) and movable display of objects for sale is provided. When movable slipper (8) reaches end of fixed slipper (7), electric motor (1 ) and belt and pulley apparatus (3) works reversely and provide same operations on the other side. Rotation distance of rotary gear (9) depends on length of rack gear (5). Moving distance of movable slipper (8) on fixed slipper (7) is determined with electric motor (1 ) and electronic circuit (15) in accordance with length of fixed slipper (7). The movable slipper (8) fixed onto the fixed slipper (7) receives its movement from electric motor (1 ) and reducer (2), and belt and pulley apparatus (3) via timing belt (4). Product anchor rod (12) is mounted on carrying wheel (1 1 ). The number of rods (12) may be increased depending on the type and number of the product displayed; furthermore, it can be configured in various geometric shapes. The number of movable slipper (8) system placed on the fixed slipper (7) can be increased as well, and these systems can be interconnected via tensioning device (10), thereby it is ensured that they move simultaneously. Tensioning device (10) is tolerated by adjustable tensioning apparatuses. The movement can be started and stopped by means of switch (13) and retention system (14) fixed to the system, respectively. This system, controllable by a remote control, may also be operated by battery.

The display of the object in the store window exhibiting all properties thereof is ensured by locating the product to be displayed onto carrying wheel (1 1 ), and by realizing the movements programmed on electronic circuit (15) in different axes. Moreover, since the moving objects are of attention grabbing nature, more people will be interested in the products. Thus, the product stands out among group of rival products, and thus plays an important role to satisfy sales objectives of the firm. That more than one object in the store window rotate in different axes and different directions will also contribute to the windows aesthetically, providing window-dressers with opportunities of creating synergies.
