Definitions

  • a back-lighted, dynamic, multi-purpose advertisement medium with a one-way wraparound device, the final images of which are formed based on image portions.
  • the present invention refers to a back-lighted, dynamic, multi-purpose advertisement medium, with a one-way wraparound device, the final images of which are formed based on image portions, intended for advertising and to offer advertisers more room, in the sense of enlarging the message they wish to convey to the consumer, with the certainty of it being able to be displayed 24 hours a day regardless of the size of the final image.
  • the present invention refers a combined system of blocks symmetrical to each other, carriers of back-lighted image portions which, when simultaneously displayed by an electric motor, form a mosaic with final images for a period of time controlled by a timer.
  • the back-lighted, dynamic, multi-purpose advertisement medium, with a one-way wraparound device, the final images of which are formed based on image portions, proposed by the invention, constitutes a remarkable advance in the evolution of back-lighted and wraparound advertisement media, offering an extraordinary installation simplicity with the ensuing and direct repercussion this brings about, lowering the advertising costs for advertisers, as well as their low maintenance cost.
  • the back-lighted, dynamic, multi-purpose advertisement medium, with one-way rotation device, the final images of which are formed based on image portions proposed by the invention consists of a main metal structure, which is formed by four rectangular tubes joined to each other except on one side, which will be called left side, with sliding parts, which has on its upper and lower portions two threaded worm shafts provided with pinions, both driven by a chain that will receive a rotational motion by crank or motor, having as a purpose the final closing of the main metal structure, hereafter metal container medium, all of it being rectangular-shaped, the bottom of which is closed by a metal plate, hereafter metal bottom, behind which all the electrical systems are going to be housed, all of it covered by different inspection covers so as to being capable of accessing all the electrical wiring.
  • main metal structure which is formed by four rectangular tubes joined to each other except on one side, which will be called left side
  • sliding parts which has on its upper and lower portions two threaded worm shafts provided with pinions, both driven by a chain that will receive
  • the metal bottom has had a series of brackets added, hereafter male couplings, as well as strategically arranged male electric connectors.
  • An electric motor provided with an on/off timer with an electric brake has been coupled on the other side of the metal container medium, hereafter right side, said motor is provided with a cogwheel which will provide motion to a chain which will make other cogwheels rotate, closely linked to a series of fixed lineshaft portions, hereafter fixed shafts, the opposite ends of which are shaped as prisms, the minor bases of which have two major sides forming rectangles and their minor sides are semicircular having as an axis of these the center of the base of the prism.
  • the fixed shafts exit from the right side of the metal container medium, entering through the right sides of rectangular boxes, hereafter blocks, absolutely independent from each other (with the exception of the shafts connecting them), receiving the fixed shafts in a solid cylindrical piece from the ends of which two concentric extensions exit, formed by two prisms shaped as circular segments having a diameter equivalent to the inner diameter of bushings or hubs of an antifriction material, the outer diameter of which will always be smaller than the inner diameter of said solid cylindrical piece, strategically and closely arranged on two metal plates by the right and left inner faces on the block sides.
  • Said solid cylindrical piece hereafter pinch roll, consists of a solid metal web that receives the motion from the lineshafts, and another one that lines it with a non-metal material, this latter one having ribs on the circular perimeter of both ends, which when rotating will drag an endless non-resilient strip of a flexible and clear material, hereafter endless clear strip, with holes at both sides of said strip and along its whole length, which will gear with the aforementioned ribs.
  • the endless clear strip is being folded by free rollers, some of which will be fixedly arranged and others variably or adjustably arranged according to the total length of the endless clear strip.
  • These free rollers will carry rectangular metal pieces having a length equivalent to the length of the free rollers, with a thickness slightly smaller than the diameter of the free rollers, coupling to the latter on both ends and/or different locations around the length of the free rollers by means' of couplers that allow rotation of the free rollers, to prevent that, due to the length of the free rollers, the latter bend by the traction of the endless clear strip, it being possible to increase the length of the endless clear strip without having to oversize the metal container medium.
  • These free rollers will have threaded bores on their ends and on both faces. Therefore, the assembly of free rollers with the rectangular metal pieces will be called hereafter free rollers.
  • This endless clear strip will be coupled to flexible sheets printed by any means, hereafter image portions, which will cover the endless clear strip from side to side, having a width equivalent to the height of the image portion which is going to be displayed on the front of the block, said image portions will be attached to the endless clear strip by couplings strategically arranged on the upper portion of the image portion, allowing for the joint displacement of the endless clear strip and the image portions, always upwards.
  • the wraparound in the rear portion of the endless clear strip with the image portions, and closer to the front portion of the blocks, they will have a white-lacquered and curved metal sheet, hereafter light diffuser, which carrying illumination, such as fluorescent bulbs, the electric connection of which has been arranged in the shape of a female electric connector, will project its light on the inside face of the endless clear strip with the image portion, allowing to see the image portion illuminated from its frontal portion.
  • illumination such as fluorescent bulbs
  • free rollers of a clear material have been coupled on each of the upper and lower portions of the light diffuser so that no semi-darkness areas may exist when displaying the image portion on the frontal portion.
  • the fixed free rollers will provide strength to the frame of the blocks, which will be aligned and in position for transversely receiving the endless clear strip, being permanently attached to the two block side metal sheets by countersunk head screws. It must be noted that the distance between fixed free rollers is equivalent to the diameter of the variable- or adjustable-setting free rollers and 1/4 more, to allow the passage of the variable- or adjustable-setting rollers while they are carrying along the endless clear strip with the image portions until reaching their definitive, adjusted position, i.e. the endless clear strip and image portions being sufficiently taut.
  • the clear, fixed free rollers of the light diffuser will be included in this fixed free roller assembly (due to the type of setting). All the fixed free rollers will be permanently attached by countersunk head screws.
  • variable- or adjustable-setting free rollers have this state because they are attached to the two block side metal sheets, having a number of vertical slots equivalent to however many variable free rollers there are, said vertical slots being countersunk to house the countersunk head screws which will finally attach the variable or adjustable free rollers as the latter shift, carrying, as they move, the endless clear strip, wrapping and tautening it, at that moment carrying out the screwdown of the countersunk head screws of the variable or adjustable free rollers.
  • countersunk head screws will be used for both the fixed free rollers and the variable or adjustable free rollers , substantially enhancing the final whole image display.
  • the blocks will be covered by a box of non-metallic clear material with an antireflective treatment, hereafter clear box, except for the closing rear portion, which will have a metal closing lid.
  • the clear boxes will have circular holes for introducing the lineshafts, and other countersunk holes.
  • the metal closing lids will be finally attached thereto by countersunk head screws.
  • the metal closing lid has the same dimensions as the rectangular perimeter of the clear box front portion and has the role of attaching the block to the metal bottom by means of making the metal bottom male couplings coincide with metal bridges or rectangular holes symmetrically and strategically arranged on the outer face of the metal closing lid, so that with a simple push to and a shifting movement to the right of the block, the left side being open with sliding parts, the latter couples to the metal bottom as the lineshafts start gearing.
  • the metal closing lid houses the female electric connector from which the electric cables will exit, said electric cables are imbedded in a recess made on the right metal sheet over the antifriction bushing or hub so as to not decrease the endless clear strip width dimensions, and the image portions it carries reaching up to a male electric connector.
  • This metal closing lid has had a sheet of non-metallic material incorporated to prevent the image portion carried by the endless clear strip from sliding down, as it is not attached by its lower portion.
  • the block assembly will have a sequential, rotational motion transmitted to it by means of shaft portions, so that half of each shaft portion is inserted in a block and the other half in another one until completion of the final whole image with all the blocks, the resulting half of shaft portions being inserted in antifriction bushings or hubs arranged on the left side with sliding parts, thus carrying out the final closing of the container medium.
  • the present invention is intended for continuously displaying images, i.e. that the sum of the image portions forming a firstly projected final whole image will be projected again after the last one is projected, thus being capable of being used so that the advertiser of a certain product may show more messages about the same product and/or accommodate more advertisers.
  • the back-lighted, dynamic, multi-purpose advertisement medium is composed of a main structure as a metal container medium (1), the left side (2) of which, with sliding parts (3), has on its upper portion (4) and lower portion (5) two threaded worm shafts (6) both provided with pinions (7) moved by a chain (8) receiving a rotational motion by crank (9) or motor.
  • the metal container medium (1) has a metal bottom (10) behind which the electric systems (11), covered by inspection covers (12), are assembled.
  • the metal bottom (10) has the male couplings (13) as well as the male electric connectors (14) incorporated.
  • the electric motor (16) On the right side (15) of the metal container medium (1) is the electric motor (16), provided with a pinion (17) actuating a chain (18), tautened by tensioning devices (19) and making guide pinions (20) and other pinions (21), joined to portions of fixed lineshafts (22), rotate.
  • the fixed lineshafts (22) exit from the right side (15) of the metal container medium (1), entering in blocks (23), independent from each other but connected by shaft portions (24) to the pinch rolls (25), having at both ends two concentric extensions (26) which are introduced in bushings or hubs (27), strategically arranged at both sides of the two metal sheets (28), on the right and left inside faces on the sides of the blocks (23).
  • the pinch rolls (25) are composed of a solid metal web (29) receiving the motion of the fixed lineshafts (22), and the pinch rolls (25) simultaneously provide motion to the shaft portions (24) and another coating it with a non-metallic material (30) having ribs (31) on the circular perimeter of both ends, gearing with holes (32) arranged longitudinally and at both sides of a endless clear strip (33).
  • the endless clear strip (33) is being folded by fixed free rollers (34) and variable or adjustable ones (35).
  • the fixed free rollers (34) and the variable or adjustable free rollers (35) carry rectangular metal pieces (36), coupling to the rollers through couplings (37).
  • the rectangular metal pieces (36) have two threaded bores (38) on the end faces.
  • Print flexible sheets hereafter image portions (39), with holes (65) receiving couplings (40), will be coupled to the endless clear strip (33).
  • the blocks (23) have a light diffuser (41) of the fluorescent bulbs (42), with a female electric connector (43).
  • the fixed free rollers (34) and the clear, fixed free rollers (44) are attached to the two metal sheets (28) by countersunk head screws (45) into countersunk bores (66).
  • variable or adjustable free rollers (35) are attached to the two metal sheets (28) by countersunk head screws (47) in countersunk vertical slots (46).
  • the blocks (23) are covered by a clear box (48), except for their rear portion, where they have a metal closing lid (49).
  • This metal closing lid (49) will have threaded bores (50) on the four sides, of which the upper and lower side ones only attach to the clear box (48), and the side ones to the metal sheets (28) having non-threaded through bores (51), and to the clear box (52) with countersunk bores (52), to allow passage of the countersunk head screws (64).
  • the clear box (48) has circular holes (53) on both sides allowing for the passage of the shaft portions (24) and, where appropriate, of fixed shafts (22).
  • the role of the metal closing lid (49) is to fix the blocks (23) to the metal bottom (10) by means of making the male couplings (13) of the metal bottom (13) coincide with metal bridges (54) or rectangular holes (55) on the metal closing lid (49).
  • the metal closing lid (49) also houses a female electric connector (56) from which the electric cables (57) exit, imbedding into a recess (58) of the metal sheet (28) having a male electric connector (59).
  • the metal closing lid (49) has a non-metallic sheet (60) keeping the verticality of the image portion (39), preventing it from becoming unattached.
  • the assembly of blocks (23) will have rotational motion (61) transmitted to it by means of shaft portions (24) and fixed shafts (22) until the final whole image (62) is completed all with the blocks (23) .
