Title: Improvements in or relating to Advertising, Displaying or like Apparatus.
Inventor: HEAVER NORTHCOTE
IPC: G09F11/29
Filed: 1910-02-21
Granted: 1910-12-15
Abstract: 4336. Heaver, N. Feb. 21. Reel and web apparatus.-A band 2, Fig. 1, runs from one storing - roller over auxiliary rollers at the top and bottom of a casing to a second storing-roller, the front sections having openings in them to render parts of the back sheets visible; and mechanism is provided for adjusting the advertisements and apertures in the different stretches of band to each other, and for changing the displayed matter at suitable intervals. The special mechanism for winding the band step-by-step from one winding- roller to the other consists of a driven shaft 25, Fig. 3, gear-wheels 26, 27, which drive a centre shaft 9, having ratchet ends 10, 11. A worm 29 on the shaft 25 drives the wheels 28, 30<a>, 31 and the ratchet-wheel 33 and disk 34. The disk 34 carries a pawl 35, which engages the ratchet-wheel 33, fixed upon a shaft 32. The disk 34 has a high surface, containing notches 36 and a long surface 37 deeper than the notches. When the roller 38 is on a high surface of the disk 34, the clutch 11 is in gear, and the roller 7 is driven a step through a chainwheel 17, until a notch 36 engages the wheel 38 and both clutches are out of gear. Then the advertisement is displayed until the wheel 38 reaches the next high surface. When the surface 37 is reached by the wheel 38, the clutch 10 is put into gear, and the band is rewound on to the roller 1. Shutters 40 are automatically closed over the display window, when the band is in motion, by the lever 39 operating a link 48, pivoted at point 49, and lever 50, shown end on in Fig. 1, which rocks a lever 53 about a pivot 54. A slotted link 55 and links 56 rotate arm 57 about pivots 58, thereby rocking arms 59, which engage eyes 60 on the shutters 40. The arm 39 may control switches so as to illuminate the bands only when they are at rest. To secure accurate setting of the bands in the display positions, wires or rods 63 are secured to them and project under hooks 64, Figs. 1 and 5, pivoted to slides 65 joined up by cross-bars 72. When the bands are being displayed, a wire or rod 63 engages the hooks 64, raises the slides and cross-bar 72, and lifts the lever 66. A pawl 67, Fig. 4, on the lever 66 drives the ratchet-wheel 68 on the disk 34 until projections 76 on the hooks 64 engage abutments 77 on the standards and the hooks are rocked out of contact with the wires or rods 63, and the lever 66 is withdrawn by its spring 75. Thus it is ensured that the roller 38 shall be within a notch 36 on the disk 34 before further movement can be given to the web.
