Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for showing visual messages, known as an advertising display device, in the form of a stand which can rotate around a vertical central axis and which has a horizontal section in the form of an equilateral polygon.
  • US-A-3 755 936 describes a device of the type that is mentioned in the introduction.
  • the display surfaces are constituted by surfaces on cylinders with a non-circular horizontal section. More precisely the cylinders have a horizontal section in the form of a polygon with straight and/or curved sides.
  • the cylinders can each be rotated in the same direction around a vertical axis of rotation in one angle of the cylinder. Together one of the sides of each of the cylinders form the outside of the integrated device. Through simultaneously rotating the cylinders around their respective axes of rotation the device can be made to change both shape and advertising surface, which gives a desired spectacular effect.
  • the number of cylinders can be four or more, which gives great possibi ⁇ lities for conveying different advertising messages.
  • the device also has certain disadvantages and limitations. Thus it requires a large space for the individual cylinders to be able to rotate about their respective axes of rotation. Therefore it can be difficult to place the device in a shop-window.
  • the aim of the invention is to offer a device for showing advertising messages, which device does not have the above mentioned disadvantages or limitations. This and other objectives can be achieved by the device being characterised by what is given in the following claims.
  • Fig. 1 constitutes a perspective view of a device according to a first preferred embodiment of the invention
  • Fig. 2 shows the same device during change between two display positions
  • Fig. 3A-C shows schematically the principle of the shift
  • Fig. 5 show details in the lower and upper parts of the device respectively in order to achieve the shift in this first embodiment
  • Fig. 6 constitutes a perspective view, partly schematic, of a device according to a second preferred embodiment of the invention.

  • Fig. 10 constitutes a perspective view of a device according to a fourth preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • Fig. 11 shows schematically a horizontal view of only the message-bearing wall elements of this fourth embodiment; and Fig. 12 constitutes a vertical section through a message-bearing wall element according to the fourth embodiment, in which the relative thickness of the element has been exaggerated.
  • a device according to the first embodiment of the invention is generally designated 1. It consists of an advertising pillar with a movable part 2 which can rotate in both directions around a vertical central axis 3. A motor for its rota ⁇ tional movements along with a gearbox belonging to it for reducing the rpm is fitted in a base 4 on a baseplate 5. A cover which covers the upper part of the device has been designated 6.
  • the central part of the advertising pillar 1 is constituted by a cylindrical body 7 with hexagonal horizontal section.
  • Three of the sides of the hexagonal cylinder 7 (every second side) have been designated 8, and the remaining three sides, which are. fitted between the sides 8, have been designated 9.
  • the sides 8 are called herein- after the first sides of the hexagonal cylinder 7, while the sides 9 are called second sides.
  • Three first angles (every second angle) have been designated 10, while the remaning three angles have been called second angles 11.
  • first angles 10 are first wings 12 and in the second angles 11 second wings 13 connected with the hexagonal cylinder 7 by hinged members 14 with vertical axes of rotation.
  • the wings 12 and 13 are constituted by rectangular fields with the same height and width as the hexagonal cylinder's sides 8 and 9.
  • a prismatic body 17 is thus formed with the shape of a "large” equilateral triangle in each horizontal section, and this triangle can in its turn be divided up into a hexagon and in each angle a small "equilateral” triangle whose sides are a third as long as those of the large triangle.
  • a drive shaft 20 extends up through the hexagonal cylinder 7 from the gearbox and motor in the base 4 and is rigidly connected with the upper ro ⁇ a ⁇ mg dit>c xa, ⁇ g. 5, which is normally covered by the cover 6, which rests on three supports 21.
  • the three first wings 12 are arranged so as to be able to rotate around their hinged members 14 in the angles 10 with the aid of the lower rotating disc 18.
  • first cut-outs are provided, which extend radially from the periphery of the lower rotation disc 18, besides which vertically downward pointing first pins are provided in the underside of the first wings 12, said first pins 24 extending down into the first cut-outs 22 in the lower rotation disc 18.
  • second cut-outs 23 are provided in the upper rotating disc 19 to work in conjunction with vertically upwards pointing second pins 25 on the aforesaid second wings 13.
  • the depth of the cut-outs 22 and 23 can be regulated with the aid of stop screws/nuts 26.
  • All sides 8, 9 and wings 12, 13 are covered by advertising messages or the like.
  • the surfaces which are shown in Fig. 1, i.e. from the left a first wing 12, a first side 8 and a second wing 13, form an integrated display surface, which is covered by a large common picture or similar, which need not be divided in the areas for the angles 10 and 11 if the picture is made of a pliable material.
  • the device 1 can be equipped with six such pictures or advertising messages, of which three can be shown simultaneously. How the change takes place will now be explained.
  • the device initally has the position shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3A. It is further assumed that a cycle has been completed and that a new cycle is to be initiated by the movable part 2 beginning to rotate clockwise after having previously rotated anti-clockwise.
  • the motor in the base 4 thus begins to rotate the drive shaft 20 clockwise
  • the upper rotating disc 19 also rotates clockwise.
  • the lower rotating disc 18 on the other hand is braked by means of a slip brake provided for this purpose.
  • the rotational movement of the upper rotating disc is transmitted to the said second wings 13 via the said second pins 25 and accompanying second cut-outs 23 in the upper rotating disc 19.
  • the said first wings 12 also come to rotate owing to the fact that the lower first pins 24, through working in conjunction with the cut-outs 22 in the lower rotating disc 18, fold the wings 12 through anti-clockwise rotation about the hinged members 14 in the angle 10. In this case too there is a stop in the cut-outs 22 which limits the rotation of the wings 12 to 120° . This means that the free edges 15 and 16 of the wings 12 and 13 will meet so that a new display position has been reached on all display fields. If the drive shaft 20 continues to rotate, the friction of the slip brake is eventually overcome, so that the lower rotating disc 18 joins in the rotation.
  • the whole advertising pillar i.e.
  • the movable parts 2 now comes to rotate around the vertical axis 3 for a certain period of time, for example a half to one minute according to the present programme. After that, the motor stops and goes into reverse.
  • the shaft 20 and with it the upper rotating disc 19 again begins to rotate, always anti-clockwise, (the lower rotating disc 18 is braked) first the second wings 13 rotate back to their initial position through 120° anti-clockwise rotation in the angles 11. After that the first wings rotate back 120° through clockwise rotation in the angle 10, and finally the lower rotating disc 18 also joins in the movement.
  • the second embodiment of the invention will now be explained with reference to Fig. 6 and Fig. 7A-Fig. 7C.
  • the basic principle is the same as in the first embodiment. The difference lies mainly in the fact that there is no hexagonal cylinder or other core that is provided with display surfaces.
  • Each side of ⁇ he risma ⁇ c oo ⁇ y wxcn triangular horizontal section in the stand is formed by two rectangular fields of the same size 30 and 31 and not by three rectangular fields of the same size, as in the previous embodiment.
  • Each of the display surfaces or fields 30 and 31 is clamped between two U-shaped arms 32 and 33, or between two arms 34 and 35, or between two arms 36 and 37.
  • the U-shaped arms can also be characterised as wings with negligible thickness, said wings being arranged in the vertical plane and rotatable aorund vertical axes of rotation in the interior of the stand but at a radial distance from the vertical centre axis of the stand.
  • the wings/arms have a somewhat greater height, i.e. extension in a vertical direction, than the wall elements, so that the latter can go free from contact with the upper or lower members of the arms in the rotational movements.

  • a central tube has been designated 47. In its lower end there is a lower mounting plate 48 and in the upper end a similar mounting plate 49 fixedly mounted to the central tube 47 for journalling the arms 32-37.
  • the arms 32, 34, 36 can therefore not continue to move and therefore cannot rotate any further relative to the upper rotating disc.
  • the arms 32, 34 and 36 therefore instead drive the central tube 47 via the upper and lower mounting plates 48 and 49, so that the central tube 47 rotates synchronously with the drive shaft 39.
  • the lower mounting plate 48 rotates anti-clockwise relative to the lower rotating plate, which is braked
  • the arms 33, 35 and 37 instead via the pins 44 will rotate clockwise around their axis of rotation in their bearings in the mounting plates 48, 49 until its pins 44 have reached the bottom of the slot 42, at which the arms 32 and 33, 34 and 35, and 36 and 37 respectively have met and a pair of new display su faces 30' , 31' are exposed.
  • the fields 30 and 31 will be folded inwards in the folding line 38, so that the fields 30 and 31 are turned towards each other and concealed, at the same time as the fields 30' and 31' are moved outwards till the two fields form a smooth wall, so that the device again receives the form of a prism with horizontal section in the form of an equilateral triangle. So that the fields 30 and 31 will really be folded inwards and not outwards a spring 46 can be provided, which gives the fields a tendency to fold inwards instead of outwards.
  • the advertising pillar assumes the form of a body whose horizontal section is constituted by a six-pointed star with continuously variable shape, which gives a desired spectacular effect.
  • the drive shaft 39 stops and rotates in the opposite direction, at which a change occurs back to the " initial position in a way that is similar to that described above.
  • the method of working is therefore in principle the same as in the previous embodiment, though the central tube 47 in this case has taken over the driving function of the hexagonal cylinder 7.
