Definitions

  • This invention relates to advertising panels and is more particularly, but not exclusively, concerned with advertising panels for use in underground railway or subway systems or petrochemical installations or large complexes, such as shopping centres.
  • an advertising panel having a display surface on which an advertisement is displayed, characterised in that the panel incorporates an aerial.
  • Such an advertising panel can be permanently located at the required position and can include a high quality aerial which has been tested to ensure its suitability for communication within the installation.
  • the panel incorporates a tuning circuit for the aerial to ensure that it operates efficiently at a predetermined radio frequency, and that the panel also includes an aerial connector for connection of a portable transmitter and/or a receiver to the aerial.
  • a portable radio is simply connected to the aerial by means of the connector to establish communication with other, remotely located radios.
  • the panel may have an outer surface to which is affixed an advertisement, such as an advertising poster.
  • the panel may have an outer compartment within which an advertisement may be enclosed and viewed, for example through a transparent outer wall of the compartment.
  • the panel may comprise two (or more) components connected to one another to form a compartment therebetween.
  • a rear component may have the aerial attached to it or contained within it and a front component may be utilised for advertising purposes in the manner described above.
  • the components can be hingedly connected to one another, preferably so that the rear component with the aerial is fixed to a floor or a wall and the second component with the advertising matter is hingedly connected to the first component to provide access to the compartment.
  • the compartment may contain the aerial connector on the rear component.
  • the compartment may include information relevant to the location of the panel, for example a map or general layout of the underground station or building.
  • Such a compartment may also contain additional equipment such as a telephone or telephone plug, a television socket, a connector for a "leaky feeder" system or tannoy apparatus, or some other form of supplementary communications connector.
  • the panel should possess means for attachment to a support surface, preferably a wall, at a predetermined position in the area.
  • the panel may be constructed so as to be free-standing or to have means to attach it to a floor.
  • the advertising space may be of any shape but is preferably rectangular. Equally, the size will be dependent on the aerial requirements and on the space available at the location.
  • the aerial itself may be in the form of an electrically conductive loop extending around the periphery of the panel, and may comprise a single or part-turn of wire around a framework of the panel. Alternatively it may comprise several turns of wire or braiding, which is normally of copper, although any other conductive aerial material may be employed including aluminium. The latter material in particular could actually form part of a frame for the advertisement itself.
  • the aerial may also be a ferrite aerial comprising a ferrite core around which a wire or wires are wound.
  • the operating frequency of the aerial would generally be determined by the requirements of the radio system to which it is to be connected, and might be for example 3 MHz where a medium frequency radio system is used.
  • the aerial will induce signals in all the surrounding metalwork of the installation and this will aid in transmission of signals throughout the installation.
  • the aerial operates without any external power source; however, a power source could be included in the panel of the invention if necessary.
  • the illustrated advertising panel 1 is of integral one-piece laminar construction having, in its rear surface, a peripheral recess 3 accommodating an aerial 2 secured therein (by means not shown).
  • the aerial 2 may be secured in the recess 3 by adhesive or by clips.
  • the aerial 2 may be secured to the outer perimeter of the panel 1, either at the front or back of the panel, or may be bonded into the fabric of the panel itself during construction.
  • the aerial 2 is made from copper braid and runs around the recess 3 to form a rectangular loop terminating at a small housing (not shown) to which there is screwed a socket 4 into which a radio receiver may be plugged for communication by way of the aerial 2.
  • the housing incorporates a conventional aerial tuning circuit including capacitors and/or inductors by means of which the aerial 2 is tuned to the selected frequency of operation.
  • the rear surface having the recess 3 is fixed to a wall at a predetermined position leaving the front surface open to view.
  • a recessed portion 5 of the front surface constitutes a display surface for advertising matter, for example an advertising poster, whilst the remainder of the front surface is used for information relating to the aerial.
  • the panel may be of non-integral construction, that is it may be made up of a plurality of parts. It may also include means to contain, for example beneath an openable cover, information concerning the location in which the aerial is located, for example a map of the area.
  • a map is photographically printed onto a sheet fixed to the panel 1.
  • small lamps either incandescent or light-emitting diodes
  • the lamps are connected to a logic circuit which in turn is connected to an alarm panel inside the installation.
  • the logic circuit recognises when a sensor has tripped and latches the corresponding lamp on the map into the 'on' state.
  • a battery back-up may maintain the alarm state/lamp on condition regardless of what may occur within the installation later.
  • a solar panel may be used to provide the stand-by battery with a small charge during periods of non-use.
  • FIGs 3 and 4 show a two-component panel 10 of the invention comprising the rear component 11 accommodating an aerial on a rear face thereof in the same manner as the panel 1 of Figures 1 and 2, and having an aerial socket 12 on the front face thereof, and also comprising a front component 13 connected to the rear component by means of hinges 14.
  • the rear component has legs 15 so that the panel 10 as a whole is free-standing.
  • the front component 13 has a display surface 16 to which advertising matter can be affixed, normally in an area 17 of the surface 16, and which in the "closed" position shown in Figure 3 is on an outer surface of the panel 10 as a whole.
  • a compartment is revealed containing not only a radio aerial socket 12 but also information concerning the location of the aerial in the form of a map 18 on the component 11 and a general layout 19 on the component 13.
