Description

Backlit informational post.

Technical field

The object of the present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification, does reference to a backlit information post of the type used to signal bus stops or coaches though, optionally, it can also be used as an element of decorative and / or informative urban furniture over any other different topic.

Background of the invention

Normally, the use of signposts in Bus stops are a common practice.

Conventional bus stop or information posts are basically configured by a mast, generally of circular section, to which they are coupled by screws or other equivalent fasteners, brackets or plates where information is displayed statically, being difficult to replace the information exposed by another
updated.

Consequently, they are unable to give updated information such as incidents, unforeseen events on the line, such as delays or cancellations of service by whatever reasons (accidents, route deviations, etc.) or any other recent information that may be of interest to users

Another important inconvenience for the user, is that it can be difficult to read the information offered in low visibility conditions, for example in twilight areas, night time, fog or rainy days.

Description of the invention

In order to overcome these inconveniences, it has designed the new backlit informational post, object of This technical report, capable of providing the user with reading in low visibility conditions (fog, nighttime, etc.), as well as providing updateable information in a few minutes in addition to the general information of the line, all in an element of robust, bright, aesthetic and very urban street furniture durable, as well as economical both manufacturing and maintenance.

The new post, in general, is conformed by a tubular body, preferably section elliptical with the translucent front and back surface and backlit, which has at least one door for access to inside, where an electronic information screen is housed,  means for receiving data via wireless, or cable or by direct loading from some portable memory device, a internal poster holder and a backlight system (preferably fluorescent type).

The pole is equipped with a surface permanent or part-time re-illuminated translucent, on the that an adhesive film (also translucent) labeled with ornamental form as well as informative legends constituting a permanent information zone, since its modification requires the removal of the current adhesive film and the placement of a new one, this being a calculatedly laborious operation; it is also equipped with an updateable information zone manually made up of at least one internal poster holder in which informative posters can be displayed through some windows covered by transparent plates positioned and fixed from inside the tubular body, which affect the front face or front and back of the post; finally, the post is gifted also of an electronic display (or similar) of information, formed by an information panel, preferably based on LED diode arrays, which is updated even in real time, via wireless, cable or direct charge from any portable memory device, and that is located in the most high of the post.

The new post can also incorporate, optionally, a sound emitting device, such as a loudspeaker, activated through a presence control element conventional or via a traffic light activation command blind.

The electronic information display may be preferably consisting of LED diodes matrices with different or equal number of characters per row, or be of type TFT or plasma.

Description of the drawings

In order to illustrate how much so far we have exposed, is accompanied by the present specification and forming an integral part of it, of a set of drawings in those that have been represented in a simplified and schematic way, a practical embodiment example only explanatory but not limiting, of the characteristics of the novel invention.

Figures 1 and 2 show paths seen in front elevation and profile, respectively, of the novel post informative.

Figure 3 shows a perspective view front of the post.

Figure 4 shows a perspective view rear, with the rear access door inside, open

Description of a practical example

In the figures that accompany this memory describes, by way of example, a case study of realization of the device object of it.

The present invention relates to an information post of the type used to signal bus or coach stops, it is formed by a tubular body of elliptical section (5), which has a door (6) for access to its interior, in which they distinguish a permanent informative zone, constituted by translucent panels arranged on the front and back surface of the post, on which a labeled adhesive film (1) is applied, re-illuminated by a plurality of fluorescents (7); a manually updateable information zone, consisting of two internal poster holders (2) in which informational posters are displayed through two windows (3) covered by transparent plates positioned and fixed from inside the tubular body, which affect the area middle of the front and back of the post; and finally a real-time updateable information zone, consisting of an electronic LED diode matrix display (4) visible through an upper window (4b), which is updated wirelessly, and which is located in the highest part of the
post.

They will be independent of the purpose of this invention the materials used in the manufacture of different elements that compose it, as well as the forms, dimensions and accessories that may present, and may be replaced by other technically equivalent ones, provided that no affect the essentiality of it or depart from the scope defined in the claims section.

Established the expressed concept, it is written to then the note of claims, thus synthesizing the news that you want to claim.
