Improvements in and relating to Advertising in connection with
Velocipedes and other Vehicles.
I, PAUL SAGNE, Agency, Campagne Spablinger at Carouge, near Geneva, in
the Republic of Switzerland, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention relates to a revolving pavilion connected with a vehicle, preferably
a tricycle. The pavilion is adapted to receive advertisements and to be rotated
with a comparatively slow inovement as the vehicle is propelled along the street.
The vehicle may be either a bicycle or a tricycle, and it is provided with wheels
and a frame, and upon this frame, a vertical shaft is supported by a suitable
bearing, and at the lower end is a bevelled gear or friction wheel that is driven by
a similar wheel, and adjacent to the latter wheel is a sprocket or chain wheel
around which an endless chain passes and there is a small sprocket wheel on the
driving shaft to which the ordinary pedals are attached, and at the pedal shaft a
sprocket wheel for an endless chain leading to a sprocket wheel on the axle of the
rear wheel.
The vertical shaft carries the pavilion which is made of a light framework,
preferably of wire and hollow, so as to receive around it a fabric such as paper or
muslin with any advertising devices upon the surface thereof. This pavilion being
hollow receives within it a lamp or light of any suitable character by which the
pavilion may be illuminated at night. "In this case, the covering on said pavilion
should be translucent, in order that the advertisements may be clearly apparent,
At the lower corners of the pavilion I may arrange bells which by their sound
may attract attention, and at the upper end of the pavilion, a ball may be arranged
the surface of which is adapted to contain advertising matter and this ball may
also be of translucent material and illuminated at night, or the ball may be a
captive balloon.
The advertisements upon the surfaces of the pavilion may be displayed in any
desired manner and it will be apparent that as the vehicle is propelled, a turning
movement is given to the pavilion whereby attention will be directed to the
advertising matter upon the surface thereof, and the proportion of the gearing
should be such that the pavilion may not be rotated too rapidly.

Improvements in and relating to Advertising in connection with
Velocipedes and other Vehicles.
1, PAUL SAGNE, Agency, Compagne Spablinger at Carouge, near Geneva, in
the Republic of Switzerland, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to a revolving pavilion connected with a vehicle, preferably

page_text: a tricycle. The pavilion is adapted to receive advertisements and to be rotated
with a comparatively slow movement as the vehicle is propelled along the street.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the present improvement by a view in side
elevation.
The vehicle may be either a bicycle or a tricycle, and it is provided with wheels
and a frame A, and upon this frame, a vertical shaft. R is supported by a suitable
bearing, and is provided at the lower end with a bevelled gear or friction wheel c
which is driven by a similar wheel D on axis d adjacent to the wheel. Dis a
sprocket or chain wheel around which an endless chain D passes to a small
sprocket wheel on the driving shaft E to which the ordinary pedals are attached,
and ate on said driving shaft. a sprocket wheel is represented for an endless chain
leading to a sprocket wheel in the axle of the rear wheel.
The vertical shaft R carries the pavilion F which is made of a light frame work,
preferably of wire and hollow, so as to receive around it a fabric such as paper or
muslin with any advertising devices upon the surface thereof. This pavilion being
hollow receives within it a lamp or light of any suitable character, by which the
pavilion may be illuminated at night. In this case, the covering on said pavilion
should be translucent, in order that the advertisements may be clearly apparent.
At the lower corners p of the pavilion F, I may arrange bells which by their
sound may attract attention, and at the upper end of the pavilion, a ball Ginny be
arranged, the surface of which is adapted to contain advertising matter and this
ball may also be of translucent material and illuminated at night; or the ball my
be n captive balloon.
The advertisements upon the surfaces of the pavilion may be displayed in any
desired manner and it will be apparent that as the vehicle is propelled, a turning
movement is given to the pavilion whereby attention will be directed to the
advertising matter upon the surface thereof, and the proportion of the gearing
should be such that the pavilion may not be rotated too rapidly.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
First. The combination with a vehicle of a vertical shaft and advertising pavilion
supported on such shaft and a connection from the shaft by which the pavilion is
revolved by the movement of the vehicle, substantially as set forth.
Second. The combination with a cycle having pedals by which it is propelled,
and a vertical shaft and its support, and gearing for connecting the vertical shaft
to the pedal shaft of an advertising pavilion supported upon the frame and rotated
by the movement of the pedal shaft, substantially as set forth.
Third. The combination with the cycle wheels and frame of a vertical shaft
supported by the frame, a bevelled wheel upon the vertical shaft, and a bevelled
wheel chain wheel and endless chain, the pedal shaft and pedals and the chain
wheels for giving motion to the vehicle and to the vertical shaft, a pavilion
supported by the vertical shaft and adapted to receive around it, translucent
advertising material and a lamp within the pavilion for illuminating the same,
substantially as set forth.
Fourth. The combination with a vehicle having a frame connecting the front
and back wheels of a support upon the frame, of a vertical shaft carried by such
support, a shaft and connections for propelling the cycle and for rotating the
vertical shaft a pavilion carried by the vertical shaft and adapted to receive
advertisements and a ball at the upper end of the pavilion, substantially as set
forth.
