Abstract:
1. A multi-image license plate assembly comprising: an assembly frame having a viewing side and being sized approximate to a standard license plate; a series of rotating display members, each rotating display member having a rotational axis disposed along a longitudinal center of each rotating display member; each rotating display member being disposed having the longitudinal axis oriented horizontally within said assembly frame; a rotational member gear attached to a transmission end of each rotating display member, wherein the rotational member gear rotates about the display member longitudinal axis; each rotating display member having a plurality of image surfaces, wherein a lower image surface edge abuts an upper image surface edge of an adjacent image surface to provide a planar surface finish; at least one visual image divided into segments with each segment disposed upon a respective image surface of the series of rotating display members, presenting the visual image when the rotating display members are positioned accordingly; each of the rotating display members being rotatably assembled to the frame in a parallel arrangement positioning a rotation drive ends in a substantially planar arrangement; a plurality of torque translation gears are rotationally assembled to the flame wherein each torque translation gear is in operational engagement between each pair of adjacently positioned rotational member gears, wherein the torque translation gear rotates about an axis parallel to the display member longitudinal axis enabling one rotating display member to transfer a torque to an adjacent rotating display member via the torque translation gear assembled therebetween, thus rotating the series of rotating members in a synchronized fashion for presenting a series of different images; a drive motor provided in operational communication with one of: one of the torque translation gear or one of the rotational member gear; and a mount for fastening said assembly flame to a license plate mount of a vehicle.
