Definitions

  • This invention relates to a price indicator for mainly gas or petrol stations and particularly relates to pivotable covering means, preferably flaps, rotated by a magnetic-based pivot system so that transparent plate can be detected by an observer for having the numerical information of the price indicator.
  • Price indicators have been successfully practiced over the world by the major reason of fluctuating prices.
  • One of the most evident application fields of the price indicators is the gas or petrol stations wherein prices are not stable and perhaps would not be stable ever due to global economic effects.
  • the price indicators are intended to employ for displaying the prices itself, they may serve any information dissemination, particularly based upon numerical information for the public. This is the reason that the price indicators have relatively higher constructions for exhibiting the information to the observers.
  • the price indicators may not be facilitated to change numerical information manually as desired. Since the basic structure of a price list comprises a background medium and a number pattern having different colors to be detected by the observers.
  • the present invention concerns a price indicator of the kind comprising a plate (or display body) having segment cavities representing seven segments of the numeral "8" and a transparent sheet mounted behind the plate and covering means movable for making any one of the seven segments of the segment cavities obscure or unobscure.
  • a price indicator is known from EP 0 810 573 disclosing opaque plates associated with transparent areas forming the numeral "8".
  • the opaque plates are movable through magnetic mechanism comprising metal chips which are welded to springs. Therefore the opaque plates are dri to make planar movement so that the transparent sheet behind the opaque p can be revealed or not as desired.
  • Another and perhaps more primitive, application is based upon manually replac preformed numerals by means of holders having magnets or rubber suction c at one end thereof.
  • More complicated proposals are those employing semi or full autom embodiments. For example, replacing of the numerals through electronic L technology is one of the recently encountered proposals.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a price indicator of a kind wh can be effectively operated without allowing light reflection and color differer between covering means (closing flaps) and plate (display body) surface.
  • Another object of the present application is to provide a price indicator operatec magnetic force and enabling relatively simple and cost-effective embodiment.
  • the covering means, closing flap particular are pivotably mounted to inner surface of the numeral plate, so ca numeral display body, for each of the segment cavity, and in that the closing ' comprise plurality of magnets drivable by an external magnet and associated v metal elements for both closed position corresponding to covering the segm cavity and open position corresponding to uncovering the segment cavity.
  • a price indicator formed in accordance with the present invention has a numbe advantages. Since the closing flap is pivoted by means of the force facilita through same poled magnets, i.e. external magnet and the magnets mountec the closing flap, there is no height difference between the numeral display b ⁇ surface and the covering means (closing flap) formed, therefore there wc neither light reflectance nor color difference occur between the numeral disp body and the covering means (closing flap). Furthermore, replacing the numb is so easy that it merely requires an external magnet having the same pole tha the magnets on the closing flap.
  • Figure 1A illustrates the perspective view of the price indicator wherein clos flaps are all in closed position in conjunction with the present invention.
  • Figure 1B illustrates the perspective view of the rear side of the numeral disp body wherein closing flaps are all in closed position in conjunction with the pres invention.
  • Figure 2A illustrates the perspective view of the price indicator wherein clos flaps are partly in closed position in conjunction with the present invention.
  • Figure 2B illustrates the perspective view of the rear side of the numeral disr. body wherein closing flaps are partly in closed position in conjunction with present invention.
  • Figure 1A illustrates the perspective view of the price indicator wherein clos flaps are all in closed position in conjunction with the present invention
  • Fig 1B illustrates the perspective view of the rear side of the numeral display be wherein closing flaps are all in closed position in conjunction with the pres invention.
  • Numeral display body (2) is the fr surface and can be detected by the observers.
  • Closing flaps (4) are mountei the rear surface of the numeral display body (2) and can not be detected by observers when open.
  • the number of closing flaps (4) is 7 for corresponding e of the segment cavities (3).
  • Closing flaps (4) are mounted beside corresponding segment cavity (3) by appropriate attachment means like pivo hinges therefore defining a pivot bearing (10).
  • the external surface of the closing flaps (4) are dyed to same color with tha numeral display body (2), so when they are in the closed position, segnr cavities (3) do not allow the color that is induced by the transparent sheet Therefore they cannot be detected by an observer.
  • the closing flaps (4) are pivotable around pivot bearing (10) axis.
  • the closing magnet (5) In closed position, the closing magnet (5) is in contact with a closing mag connecting rod (7) placed on the rear side of the numeral display body (2). shifting the closing flaps (4) from closed position to open position, an extei magnet (11 ) is brought closer from external surface of the numeral display b ⁇ (2) to the closing magnet (5), the poles of the former and the latter are the sai so that the magnetic force induced provides detachment of the components closing magnet (5) and closing magnet connecting rod (7). Once th ⁇ components are detached, the closing flap (4) is pivoted around the axis of pivot bearing (10) therefore leading the closing flap (4) to open position.
  • FIGS. 2A and 2B schematically illustrates formation to display "7", as the clos flaps (4) forming the number "7" are held in open position, the color provided the transparent sheet (1 ) is detected through the segment cavities (3) observers.
  • numeral display body (2) thickn is 2-4 mm. and the material thereof is an opaque self-colored or folio cove plastic.
  • the closing flap (4) thickness is 1-3 mm. and made of a plastic-ba material.
  • the numeral display body (2) is coated by a sufficiently thin transpai covering so that the display would not be affected by the external conditions s as moisture, dust and so on.
  • the external magnet (11 ) is optionally engaged to an end of a stick hav sufficient length so that the external magnet (11 ) and the open and clo ⁇ magnets (5,6) can be associated.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un indicateur de prix qui comprend un corps d'affichage numérique (2) comportant des cavités segmentales (3) représentant les sept segments du nombre « 8 », une feuille transparente (1) montée à l'arrière de ce corps d'affichage numérique (2) ainsi que des moyens de recouvrement (4) qui peuvent être déplacés pour qu'un quelconque des sept segments desdites cavités segmentales (3) soit recouvert ou découvert. La présente invention est caractérisée en ce que les moyens de recouvrement (4) des cavités segmentales (3) sont montés de manière pivotante sur la surface intérieure du corps d'affichage numérique (2), et en ce que ces moyens de recouvrement (4) comprennent une pluralité d'aimants (5, 6) commandables par un aimant externe (11). En outre, ces aimants (5, 6) sont associés à des éléments métalliques (7, 8), non seulement pour la position fermée, dans laquelle les cavités segmentales respectives sont recouvertes, mais également pour la position ouverte, dans laquelle lesdites cavités segmentales respectives sont découvertes.
