suitable matter in, on, or about or in connection with clocks, time-pieces barometers
or other devices, or in, on or about or in connection with the box, case or covering
or part covering holding or containing same. With proper and suitable means,
mechanism, device or devices for carrying out the invention and for use with or in
connection with same. The invention may be used in whole or in part, with or
without any other means, device, devices or mechanism necessary for carrying out
same. And may also be used for representing, displaying, or showing advertise-
ments or other matter in or on shop windows or other position or positions, or for
use for other purposes as the case may be. The invention may be used as a machine
or device for showing, representing or displaying advertisements, views or other
matter, and may have mechanism, or device or devices for regulating, for working
and moving same, or the mechanism of clock or substitute may be arranged for
effecting the same purpose. Coin or other freed mechanism could also be introduced
if required for freeing or for working same or for enabling same to be worked or
moved. The clock or substitute, together with the hereinafter described mechanism,
device, or devices, being fixed or placed in prominent or suitable position whereby
the advertisements or other objects or matter shown or represented may show and be
seen. In carrying out the invention it is intended that the advertisements or
advertising-matter together with or without photographs, or other illustrated or
pictorial views designs, pictures, devices, reading or illustrated matter, or com-
position, microscopic or other objects or part or portions of objects of nature, and
various other matter, materials, substances, colour, colours, reflections, shadows,
shades, or reflectors, distorting glasses or any other suitable matter, coloured, or
not coloured may be arranged to move or remain stationary as the case may be
together, in numbers, seperately, in series, or continuous as required, in miniature,
or in various or any sizes, moving into, or arranged in such position or positions
whereby it or they may be seen, or be reflected, refracted, cast, thrown, shown or
represented ou, or through the face or dial of clock or substitute, or other suitable
position or positions arranged for securing same, by means of magic-lantern,
magic-lanterns, or other device or devices suitable for effecting such purpose.
The said representations or illustrations of the advertisements, views, objects
substances, materials, or other matter being presented or shown to view either
enlarged, diminished, or in their natural sizes or in any other way as the case may
be by means of magic lantern, magic lanterns or other device or devices. Some of
the advertisements, or other matter etc. etc., may be arranged in position, or
positions, or to move into position or positions whereby it or they may be shown or
seen, through, or will show through opening, openings or aperture containing or not
containing magnifying, diminishing, distorting or ordinary or coloured glass, glasses
or lens, lenses as the case may be, the advertisements, views, objects or matter etc.

page_text: for view being lighted or illuminated if required by means of electric-light, lime-
light, gas, oil or other means, the light being arranged in position for being
transmitted or shining through, or for lighting up the front or face, or for
shining or falling upon or for being reflected upon such advertisements views,
objects or other matter.
In carrying out the invention or idea I prefer to adopt use or make use of the
following described means, device or devices or mechanism in whole, or in part,
but at the same time it is distinctly understood that I may also use adopt or make
use of other means, device devices or mechanism in carrying out the invention, or
for use with or in connection with the herein described means mechanism, device
or devices, or part or portions of same, or instead of same or part or portions of
same as the case may be. The invention being described as follows. I prefer that
the advertising matter or advertisements, together with or without photographs, or
other illustrated or pictorial views, designs pictures, devices, reading or illustrated
matter, composition, microscopic or other objects or part or portions of objects of
nature etc., and various other materials, substances, colour, colours, reflections,
shadows, shades, reflecting or diminishing glasses or any other suitable matter,
oloured or otherwise, shall be arranged as hereinafter mentioned but they may
also be arranged or shown in any other suitable way. The skeleton or framework
of clock case or substitute may be made of metal, wood or other suitable
material materials or substances of requisite shape and size, with proper supports
and fittings for fixing same and for securing or guiding the mechanism, device or
devices used in carrying out the invention the same framework being made or
arranged if necessary to open, close or move the dial-plates or face or faces and
top, bottom sides and ends or angles of said case or portions of same being
composed or partly composed of glass, opal or any other transparent or suitable
material materials or substance, the same being plain, coloured or tinted as required
and may be made in any shape, size, or design and have various patterns,
designs or devices stamped, embossed, marked, or cut out in, or on same, or can be
arranged in one or more piece or pieces, on the prismatic-principal containing
prism or prisms, or made suitable in other manner for brightening, reflecting or
casting the rays of light or the advertisements or other matter. The figures,
signs or marks indicating the hours or time being marked, stamped cut out in or
on, painted or attached or fixed or arranged in any other way in on or about the
outside, or inside of said dial or face or in other suitable positions-the space or
spaces between the figures, marks or signs, being filled in, or partly filled in with
glass, opal or substitute, or left open as required. A circular slot or opening may
be arranged if necessary in suitable position for allowing the hands or substitute
indicating time, to pass through and show on the exterior of dial or casing.
If preferred the indicating hands or substitute need not pass through the slot,
but may be arranged to move behind or at the side of figures or marks indicating
time and to show through the open spaces between same, or if these spaces are
filled in with glass or other transparent substance or substitute the said hands or
indicators or their shadow or shade will show through such glass or substitute or
through the said figures or marks. In the event of a circular slot or opening being
arranged for the hands or substitute to pass through the circular portion of dial-
plate, or of casing circumscribed by such slot may be secured and held in position
by means of piece or pieces of metal or substitute, of suitable size and shape,

or in connection with the said disk, disks, substitute or substitutes, the said advertise-
ments, views objects or other matter etc. etc., being arranged in miniature or in any
suitable size, the same may be arranged in circle, circles, or in other suitable and
proper position or positions for revolving or in other way moving with or in
connection with the said disk disks or substitute, in whole or in part, in turn or
rotation, or in any other manner, and passing with the said disk disks or substitute
one after the other or together, in numbers, continuous or in series or in other way,
into proper position or positions for being reflected, or represented by the magic-
lantern or substitute..
Instead of being arranged on or in connection with the said disk disks or
substitute as just described the said advertisements, views objects or other
matter etc. (or device or devices containing them,) may be made to pass into
position or positions in other manner for being represented or shown. They
may also be arranged in, ou or about, or in connection with cylinders, cylinder,
tablet tablets, strips, slides or other body or bodies moving or stationary and

or substitutes may be used for producing one or more series of representations or
illustrations of advertisements or other matter. In suitable and proper positions
partitions or screens may be fixed or arranged for reflecting or confining the light
in or on the portions of device required to illuminate same. In suitable position or
positions of device moving disk disks bodies shutters or screens may be arranged to
revolve or move by mechanical device or other means, for darkening, obscuring or
shading the light at certain intervals of time as arranged and regulated by the
clock or other means. Or the light may be darkened, obscured, shadowed or
lowered by other means. In similar manner revolving or in other way moving
bodies or shutters or disks containing various tints or colours, or coloured glasses
or other device may be arranged to revolve or in other way move mechanically or
by other means for changing or varying the colours, tints & shades of the light and
advertisements or other matter from time to time as required. If desired the
advertisements or matter etc. painted or arranged in on or about the case or other

page_text: part of device, (or the device or devices themselves,) may also be darkened,
shaded or have the tints or colours or their shape or patterns changed from time
to time by mechanical or other means. The hands, or indicators of clock time or
substitutes can be connected with the mechanism of clock by means of tubes or
cylinders or other device passing round or circumscribing the hollow tube
or device supporting magic-lantern or substitute. Or the hands or substitute
may be connected in other manner, and may be shaped or bent to freely pass
round or circumscribe the lantern or substitute in their movement, or arranged in
other manner whereby they will cast but little or no shadow or shade upon case or
dial of clock, excepting at the points or positions when they indicate the time-
the ends of hands or substitute being enlarged, or in other way arranged suitable
for casting shadow or shade on the dial at the points required, or to show through
the openings between the figures or marks indicating the hours and minutes etc.
Or the hands or substitute may pass through the circular slot arranged for receiving
same as previously described, a certain portion of hands or substitute could then if
necessary be bent or formed to turn and lap over the face or exterior of dial and
thus show on the exterior or outside. Again if preferred the hands or substitute
may be arranged in other or ordinary manner. It is intended that the case of clock
or device or devices in connection with same, shall be lighted or illuminated in the
interior, the light showing through the glass, opal, substitute or open spaces
forming dials and casing and illuminating, illustrating or showing as described the
advertisements or other matter shown on or through the casing or other portions of
device the light being if preferred continually changed, darkened, increased-
flashed forth or changed in colours tints or shape from time to time by the means
or devices in connection with same or acting on same or forming part of the
invention. The device may also be lighted or illuminated from the exterior or in any
other manner as required.

designs or devices, stamped, embossed or marked or cut out in or upon same, or
can be arranged on the prismatic principal, containing one or more prisms or prism
or made suitable in any other manner for showing up, for brightening, reflecting
or casting the rays of light and the advertising or other matter arranged in, ou, or
about same, or to be seen in, on, or reflected or shown upon same as the case
may be. The said cylinders, drums disks or other shape bodies may be strengthened
with metal or by other means, and have notched or tooth or geared wheel, wheels
or other device or devices whereby it or they may be made to move or revolve by
the mechanism of clock, or by other means in order that the different advertise-
ments, views or other matter may be presented to view, or may be seen in succession,
or separately, together in numbers or in series or continuous as the case may be-
while the tints, colours, rays of light and the patterns or shape of devices,
advertising or other matter etc. may be changed from time to time or the light
illuminating same may be brightened darkened, shown or flashed forth or hid or
obscured at certain intervals of time as arranged. Ordinary or special mechanism
or device or devices may be used for working the clock, for regulating the time or
the devices herein described or for moving same. The above invention is principally
intended as means for introducing advertisements, views, photographs or other objects
or matter into proper position or positions whereby it or they may be represented;
illustrated or shown by magic-lantern or other device-the invention being
more especially intended for advertising, or representing or illustrating or showing
advertisements or any other objects or matter etc., by means of magic lantern,

Improvements in and connected with Clocks and other Devices for
Displaying and Representing Advertisements, Representations,
Pictures, and other Objects and Matter.
I FREDERICK JOHN PALMER of Sidford House, Dawlish, in the County of
Devon, Architect, lately residing at Florenville, Dawlish aforesaid 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 invention relates to improvements in and connected with clocks or other
device for displaying and illustrating advertisements and other objects and matter
and the same is carried out in the following manner reference being had to the
annexed drawings.
Figure 1 shows side elevation partly in section of the interior of a clock or
suitable device containing my invention connected with the mechanism of the clock
or other device the casing being removed for purpose of illustration.
Figure 2 is a plan of revolving disc for containing the objects to be displayed.
Figure 3, plan of revolving disc for changing the colours of the advertisements
and objects arranged upon the object disc when thrown and shewn upon the clock
dial or other surface and for checking and obscuring the light.
Figures 3 & 4 cross section taken through revolving cylindriform or suitably
shaped casing containing advertisements or other matter to be displayed upon same
which is revolved or moved by means of toothed wheel or wheels or other
device worked by spindle of clock or other mechanism, the supply for lamp.
or substitute passing through the axle. Referring to Figure 1, a is a box
containing a powerful lamp 6 or other means for lighting device with lens
or lenses or objective c and reflector d the said box or casing a being fixed
or held in position by means of the projecting arm or hollow or suitably

page_text: b
shaped tube, casing or substitute S (secured to the framework or other portion of
device,) through or around which the said spindles, tubes, or substitute carrying the
hands and m of clock the revolving discs 9 and h and supply for the light or
lights may pass and revolve or move as the case may be, the spindles e and f
carrying the revolving discs g and being geared to the spindle i of clock or other
mechanism by means of toothed wheels as shown or in other suitable manner and
carrying the hands / and m. The revolving box or casing k is made in the form of
a hollow circular cylinder or hexagonal prism or other suitable shape composed of
a framing of metal or substitute filled in with glass or other suitable material upon
or inserted in which translucent, transparent or other suitable advertisements,
pictures etc. can be placed the same being geared to be revolved by the spindle i of
clock or to other mechanism by means of intermediate tooth wheel or wheels, a
lamp or lamps u or other means for lighting can be fixed inside the said box or
casing K the pipe u¹ or substitute supplying light passing through the centre of
spindle or axle v. Figs. 4 and 5 show cross sections taken through centre of box
or casing K the letters to the respective portions being marked the same. Referring
to Figure 2, the holes n in the disc represent the positions for the translucent,
transparent or other suitable advertisements or pictures or other matter which are
placed over the holes, or in the case of the disc being made of glass or other
translucent or transparent or suitable material the holes are not needed, but the
advertisements or pictures are similarly placed around the disc or discs.
Referring to Figure 3. The divisions marked o upon this secondary revolving
disc are for the purpose of giving various colours to the light which throws the
advertisements or picture or other matter arranged upon the disc on to the
translucent dial of clock or other surface. Suitable part or portions of either
disc can be made non-transparent or in other way arranged for darkening or obscuring
the light thrown by lens of lantern on to the translucent clock face or other surface
arranged for receiving such light which may be affixed to top of box containing
the lamp etc. as shown in p' Fig. 1, or other convenient part of device or the dial p
may be secured to the remainder of casing by means of bent pieces of metal or
other substance p³. Referring to the hands of the clock and in these need not be
fixed in the centre of the dial as in ordinary clocks but may be fixed to the spindle,
spindles, or tube or tubes or substitute at q and take the form of a right angle
piece or other necessary shape so as to revolve clear of and around the box
containing the lamp or to circumvolve any other part of the mechanism if necessary,
the ends p² of the said hands working round the edge of the figures as in p² or in
other manner in order to indicate the time by which means the advertisements or
objects upon the revolving or moving disc or discs which are thrown upon the
translucent clock dial, are not obscured by the hands of the clock or the shadows
thereof. The working is as follows. When the spindle or spindles or substitute
carrying the advertisement or object disc or discs and the colour and darkening
disc or discs has or have been geared to the works of the clock as shown or to other
mechanism on the said advertisement or pictorial disc or discs over which or over
the holes in which translucent, transparent or other suitable advertisements or
pictures or other matter have been placed begin to revolve or move and as soon as
an advertisement or picture or other matter has come in the focus of the lens or
objective the picture or advertisement or other matter is thrown upon the translucent
clock dial p or other surface (arranged for same,) in a magnified degree and remains
to be seen upon the clock dial or other surface until it has passed out of view
through the revolution or part revolution of the spindle or spindles or movement of
the other mechanism when another advertisement or picture or some other matter
upon the disc comes into focus, and so on, at the same time, and at a suitable speed,
the colour and shading or darkening disc is also revolving within the focus of the
lens or objective and consequently the advertisements or pictures etc. are thrown
upon the dial or other arranged surface in various colours and shades. I do not
confine myself to one advertisement, picture or other object or colour disc, but if

page_text: necessary I may employ several in the same manner as heretofore set forth or to
move by other means.
With this description of my invention what I claim and desire to secure by
Letters Patent is :
In advertising or pictorial clocks the combined arrangement of the spindles
actuated by the wheels or substitute of a clock or other means carrying the
revolving or moving discs one or more of which contains translucent transparent
or other suitable advertisements or other objects or matter the other contains
various translucent or transparent or other suitable colours and darkening or shading
screens or screen arranged in sections or divisions or continuous therein and revolving
or moving in the focus of a lens or lenses or objective or objectives of a lantern
or lanterns. The said clock or other device having a translucent or suitable dial or
surface around which when used in connection with clocks the said hands can travel
as described.
In advertising or pictorial clocks the combined arrangement of the hands and
tube, tubes or substitute carrying same working round or circumvolving or partly
circumvolving the box A, lens or lenses or objectives c, reflector d, lamp or
substitute B, the pipe or substitute B' supplying light, the spindle or spindles
working disc or discs the intermediate tooth wheels and the arm or suitably
shaped tube or substitute S fixing and securing device in proper position and
guiding the moving portions when working as described and set forth.
The introduction and displaying of advertisements, pictures or other objects
or matter in connection with or within the casing of a clock, or any other
suitable device the said advertisements, pictures, objects or other matter being
represented or shown upon the interior of translucent or in other way suitable
portion or portions of said dial or casing of clock or other device by means of
lens or lenses or objective or objectives whereby they may be represented or
shown in an enlarged or suitable size upon the exterior or other portion or portions
of dial or casing of clock or other device. In advertising and pictorial clocks the
combined arrangement of the revolving or moving cylindriform or hexagonal or
suitably shaped casing k composed of glass, glasses or other transparent translucent
or suitable material strengthened with framework where necessary over or inserted
in casing translucent, transparent, or other suitable advertisements, pictures or
objects are placed the same revolving or moving round the lamp, lamps or
substitute u upon the tubing or axle through which the pipe u or substitute
supplying light or lights u is or are passed the said casing K being revolved or
moved by means of spindle I of clock or other means. In carrying out the above
invention I prefer to adopt the herein described means which may be used in whole
or in part with or without modification.
