My invention relates to a novel mode of advertising on vehicles by means of disc
or other suitable design, opening in the centre so as to be easily placed over and

November Twenty-first 1894.
I, JOHN ANDREW TAYLOR, of 95, Faraday Street, Walworth, in the County of
Surrey, 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 novel device for advertising on vehicles other
than cycles.
My device consists of a circular or other shaped plate formed in halves hinged
together having a central hole, the advertisement being printed on or affixed
thereto, the said device being placed behind the wheels and attached either to the
axle or to the body of the vehicle.
To enable the invention to be fully understood I will describe how it can be
carried into practice by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:-
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the wheel of a road vehicle with my advertising
device applied thereto :
Figure 2 is an edge view, and,
Figure 3 is a view of the side of the wheel and device opposite to that shewn
in Figure 1.
a is the wheel of the vehicle and 6 the axle thereof.
As
c is my advertising plate or device on which the advertisement is printed or to
which it is affixed: d is the central opening through which the axle passes.
shewn, the plate c is formed in halves e, e hinged together at whereby the said
halves can be moved apart to enable the plate to be applied to the axle and hub of
the wheel and fixed in position behind the latter without the necessity of removing
the wheel. The halves of the plate are strengthened by suitable frames g, g
rivetted thereon and one (or both) of which is provided with an extension h
whereby the plate can be secured to the axle b by a suitable clip i. When the
plate is fixed in position the halves are secured together by plates j, j and bolts k, k
or by other suitable means.

page_text: Although I have shewn my advertising device attached to the axle, I some-
times attach it to the body of a vehicle but in all cases behind the wheel.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A device for exhibiting or displaying advertisements through the wheels of
road vehicles (other than cycles) such device consisting of a plate formed with a
central hole and in parts hinged together to enable it to be applied and with means
for attaching it either to the axle (or body of a vehicle) behind the wheel,
substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
2. The manufacture and use of the improved advertising device for road
vehicles (other than cycles), hereinbefore described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawing.
