I GÉZA BREINER of Budapest in the Kingdom of Hungary, Engineer, do
hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as follows:-
The improvements consist of a tower or cylinder carrying advertisements
mounted on a turntable carried on a wagon or convenient vehicle; the turntable
and its tower is rotated by gearing fixed on it and on the axle or nave of one or
more of the vehicle wheels, said gearing being connected by a chain or shaft. As

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Vehicles for Advertising.
I GÉZA BREINER Engineer of Budapest in the Kingdom of Hungary 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 :-
The improvements consist of a tower or cylinder, carrying advertisements, mounted
on a turntable carried on a wagon or convenient vehicle, the turntable and its tower
are rotated by gearing fixed on it and on the axle or nave of one or more of the
vehicle wheels said gearing being connected by a chain or shaft.
As the vehicle is made to travel the tower turns and displays its advertisements.
Reference being made to the accompanying drawings; the base frame of the
advertisement vehicle consists of an ordinary carriage frame resting however on soine-
what stronger springs. Upon the rear axle tree is arranged a small chain wheel A in
addition to the two carriage wheels. On the wheels rests the stationary support of
the tower which support consists of the firm and strong base B of the four
columns C1 C2 C3 C and of the roof D fastened to the upper ends of said columns.
In the centre of the base of the vehicle is the cross beam F on which is journalled
the shaft G so that the endless screw on the same gears into the toothed wheel J on
the shaft H of the tower. The shape of the tower itself may be octagonal,
hexagonal, quadrangular or circular and it fits with its vertical king bolt H arranged
under its centre of gravity in the bearing K on the cross beam and with its upper
bolt H¹ in the bearing K fastened to the roof of the tower frame.
During the motion of the vehicle, the chain wheel A fastened to the nave of the
hind wheel follows the rotary motion of the carriage wheels which motion is
transmitted by means of the chain L to the wheel M fastened on the shaft G
whereby the latter is rotated.
This rotation is communicated by means of the endless screw to the toothed
wheel J from which latter the whole tower receives its rotary motion.
In order that during the rotation of the tower the resistance occasioned by the
friction of said tower on the base of the vehicle is reduced as much as possible
there are arranged to support the metal hoop fastened to the base of the tower, the
rollers N N N³ N4 resting in forks.
The advertisements are arranged on the sides of the tower for which purpose the
walls of the tower may be of such material that the advertisements can be seen

page_text: also during the night by light transmitted from a suitable lamp or lamps in the
interior of the tower.
On a suitable part of the tower a date indicator, a correct clock etc. etc.
perceivable from some distance may be arranged for improving the adornment and
usefulness of the advertising vehicle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
An advertising vehicle having or supporting within a cage or frame thereon a
tower rotated by the movement of the vehicle by gear consisting of a chain wheel
on the nave of one of the carriage wheels rotating by means of a chain a shaft
provided with an endless screw revolving the tower by means of a worm wheel
thereon.
