Description

«Φ♦ ·

-A-

The invention relates to an information column Fig. A, comparable to an advertising column, with a completely closed surface for receiving advertising messages, with a closed roof closure by a roof attachment or a roof crown (2).

Well-known information advertising columns are generally designed in such a way that advertising statements are arranged firmly around the information body and can only be fully viewed from one direction.

In addition, there is the problem of deliberate damage to the advertising displayed on the poster.

The object of the invention is to design an information column of the generic type in such a way that, on the one hand, visually striking information and advertising surfaces are created that can be seen from all directions and, on the other hand, the possibility is created of controlling and transmitting texts and/or image motifs that change at short notice externally from a central location using LCD monitors with radio reception and radio transmission.

According to the invention, the problem is solved by the combination of the following features

a. a cuboid or cylindrical attachment body ( 3 ) made of metal, plastic, glass or the like is arranged on the roof of the column and detachably connected to the column

b. on this attachment body ( 3 ) there are arranged elements made of metal, plastic, glass or the like (7+7a), in each of which an LCD monitor is arranged for the transmission of messages, advertising and images.

c. Alternatively, surfaces (6) are formed above the attachment body (3) which enable rotation by wind energy

d. Vertical bends ( 9 ) are arranged at the outer ends of the rotor blades ( 6 ) for better wind detection.

Further features of the invention are described in the dependent claims and explained in more detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

It shows:

Fig. A The information column 1 with the top body 3 and the elements 7 + 7a as well as the solar cell unit (4).

Fig. B The roof rim 2 with the elements of the wind rotors 6

The information column (1) shown in a front view in "Fig. A" consists of the round housing (1) on which an attachment body (3) is arranged.

This is fixed but detachable with the roof end body/roof cover plate/roof crown

(2) connected.

The attachment body (3) arranged on the roof rim (2) is cuboid- and/or cylindrical-shaped.

The attachment body (3) is firmly but detachably connected to the roof rim (2) by means of a screw connection (not shown in detail). The vertical fastening tubes (10+11) arranged on the attachment body (3) are rotatably mounted on it.

In the attachment body (3) there is an electric motor (not shown in detail) as a drive element for the elements (7+7a) to which LCD monitors (8) or backlit advertising spaces are assigned.

-6-

The electric motor is designed in such a way that it can rotate the elements (7+7a) in the same direction or in cycles.

If the drive motor cannot be powered from an external power source, there is a fixed solar cell unit (4) above the attachment body (3) facing the sunny side, which is used as a power source.

The elements (7 + 7a) and (6) on the attachment body (3) can consist of metal, plastic, glass or the like. It is advantageous to design the side walls and/or side surfaces (8, 6) as information carrier surfaces.

For this purpose, the side walls of the elements 7 + 7a can be designed with an LCD monitor (8) or the side walls 7 + 7a consist of translucent material, the text and/or image motifs projected onto the side walls are optically highlighted in a particularly perceptible manner by a light body located within the elements 7 + 7a,

or alternatively the two wind rotor blades, see Fig. B ( 6 ) are used as information carriers by painting or sticking stickers on them. _;

The rotor blades ( 6 ) can optionally be designed in such a way that the vertical length is significantly greater than the horizontal width

Claims (11)

1. Information column ( 1 ), of the generic type of advertising column, with a completely closed surface for the placement of advertising and/or information with at least one roof attachment, roof rim and a foundation, characterized by the combination of the following features a) a cuboid and/or cylindrical attachment body ( 3 ) made of metal, plastic, glass or the like is arranged on the roof attachment or roof rim ( 2 ) of the column and is detachably connected to the roof rim ( 2 ) and b) elements with surfaces for information and/or advertising are arranged above the attachment body ( 3 ), which can be viewed from all sides by rotating. 2. Information column according to claim 1, characterized in that the attachment body ( 3 ) is connected to the roof attachment ( 2 ) of the information column ( 1 ) by means of a screw and/or fixed connection. 3. Information column according to claim 1 and 2, characterized in that a fixed solar cell unit ( 4 ) is arranged above the attachment body ( 3 ). 4. Information column according to claim 3, characterized in that the solar cell unit ( 4 ) is arranged on a fixed rod/tube ( 3a ) which is firmly attached to the roof attachment ( 2 ) by means of screws and/or a fixed connection through a tube to the attachment body ( 3 ). 5. Information column according to claim 3 and 4, characterized in that the solar cell unit ( 4 ) supplies the drive current for the motor ( 5 ) for rotating the elements 7 + 7a on the attachment body ( 3 ). 6. Information column according to claim 1 and 2, characterized in that a wind rotor ( 6 ) is arranged rotatably on the attachment body ( 3 ) and receives the rotational force from wind energy. For stability, holding elements ( 11 ) are arranged on the roof rim ( 2 ). 7. Information column according to claims 1 to 5, characterized in that elements (7 + 7a) equipped with LCD monitors (8 + 8a) are arranged above the attachment body ( 3 ). 8. Information column according to claim 1 + 7, characterized in that a multimedia system is arranged in the attachment body ( 3 ), which makes messages and/or images visible on the LCD monitors (8 + 8a) by controlled signals. 9. Information column according to claim 1 to 7, characterized in that one or more side walls of the elements (7 + 7a) and/or surfaces ( 6 ) on the attachment body ( 3 ) are designed as information carriers and/or advertising surfaces. 10. Information column according to claim 1, 7 and 9, characterized in that a radio reception system is located in or on the attachment body ( 3 ), which converts incoming messages from a control center into images and/or text for the LCD monitor(s). 11. Information column according to claim 1, 7 and 9, characterized in that the elements (7 + 7a) are arranged on the fastening tube ( 10 ) firmly but detachably, but without rotation.
