Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a system for the illumination of a transparent or translucent rotating unit of an advertising bill-board, in particular it concerns a triangular section prismatic unit made of transparent or translucent material the three faces of which bear on their outer surface part of an advertising image or script.
  • the complete advertising image or script appears to be made up of all the part images or scripts borne by a number of rotating units.
  • Drawback of the prior art is a not even illumination of the bill-board surface.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to obviate said drawback and to provide for the advantage of an even illumination of all the parts of each single unit and of the bill-board as a whole.
  • the invention comprises within said rotating units parts that remain still even during the rotation of said unit and bear still even at least one lamp nearly as long as the same unit inside each one of them; preferably the lamp is held in a position as far as possible from the face exposed to the public in order to cause substantially the same luminous intensity to the face surface exposed to the public.
  • Figure 1 is relevant to a preferred embodiment of the invention and shows the frame 1 of an advertising bill-board, a forward frame 2 fixed to said frame, a unit 3, that rotates around the vertical axis A-A with triangular section formed by three equal rectangles of plexiglass, the face of said rotating unit 3 that is exposed to the public is defined as 3A and said rotating unit 3 is associated to said frame 1 thorugh a number of parts: underside, a lower fixed support means 4 is engaged and free to be removed to a lower shelf 5 fixed to the frame 1 and supports, through ring 6 fastened by screw 7, a first triangular element 8 engaged in the lower triangular aperture of said rotating unit 3; said lower fixed support means 4 extends within the rotating unit 3 in the form of a disk 9; said lower fixed support means 4 has an aperture 10 that connects the outside and inside of the rotating unit 3; above, an upper support means 11 moved by the coupling of two bevel gears 12 and 13; gear 12 is solid with the upper support means 11 and gear 13 rotates with a transmission
  • two bulb-sockets 22 Adjacent to the periphery of discs 9 and 16, fixed within the system as far as possible from the face exposed to the public 3A, two bulb-sockets 22 are installed with a neon lamp 23; the upper bulb-socket is connected via an electric cable 24 that runs through passages 19 and 21 and the lower bulb-socket is connected via an electric cable 25 that runs through passage 10; obviously the two electric cables will lead to a suitable source of electric power, not shown, that is common to all the rotating units in the bill-board.
  • section lining lamp 23 is shown in its possible position coaxial with the rotation axis A-A.
  • Figure 2 shows that the lamp 23 is fixed within the rotating unit 3 in a position as far as possible from the face 3A exposed to the public on the bill-board, not shown; the figure also shows the lower fixed disk 9 bearing the lower bulb-socket 22.
