Application filed May 6, 1897. Serial No. 635,357. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom. it ntcty concern:

Be it known that I, LEVI WV. YAGGY, a citizen of the United States,residin g at Lake Forest, in the county of Lake and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Advertising Systems and Apparatus, which is fully set forth in the following speciiication, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure lis an elevation of the casing, showing the location of the different apertures. Fig. 2 is a section of the mechanism, on an enlarged scale, on the line 2 2 of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of the indicator operating and controlling mechanisms with their rear plates removed and some part-s broken away to more clearly disclose the structure and operation of the parts. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the same mechanism on the plane indicated by the line 440i? Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is an enlarged elevation, partly in section, showing some of the details of construction of the indicatorshifting mechanism, on the line 5 5 of Fig. 4:. Fig. 6 is a side elevation, on the same scale, of the mechanism shown in Fig. 5, on the line 6 6 of Fig. 3. Fig. 7 is a side elevation showing the train of reducing-gears and the detentreleasing mechanism therefor. Fig. 7a is a detached view of the crank-shaft operating the indicator-shifting mechanism. Fig. 8 is an elevation of a portion of three of the indieating-dials, showing how the combinations are effected. Figs. 9, 10, and ll are elevations showing portions of the different indieating-dials. Fig. '12 is an elevation of a portion of the advertising display-dial. Fig. 13 shows sectional details of the clamps employed in securing the dials to their shafts.

My invention relates to a new and useful system for displaying advertising matter and attracting attention thereto and to mechanism for operating such a system.

In carrying out my invention I provide a plurality of display devices or indicators, which may consist of dials or wheels or some similar mechanism, and upon these indicators I place a portion or portions of the indication or indications, so that it takes the combined indicators to display a complete indication. I place upon these individual indicators a plurality of indications, so that combinations of these partial indications maybe effected to get several different complete indications. If two indicators are employed, each giving two half-indications, by combining the two half-indications four different complete indications could be obtained. If three indicators are employed, each giving three one-third indications, by combining the three one-third indications twenty-seven different complete indications can be obtained.

In connection with these changeable indications I employ advertising matter so located as to necessarily attract the observers attention while he is looking at the indications or waiting for a new combination to be formed. I may make said advertising matter also changeable, so as to employ a plurality of advertising display indications.

My invention further relates to a novel mechanical movement and to novel detent mechanism therefor.

As a housing for the indicators and their operating mechanism I employ a casing A of any shape or construction required to accommodate said indicators and mechanism. As shown in Fig. l, I employ a plurality of apertures in said casing, through which apertures the desired portion or portions of the indication or indications appear. The aperture B is employed to disclose such portions of the three indicating-dials C, C', and C2, which are employed to display the matter which is intended to amuse or attract the attention of the observer to the device. In proximity to this aperture B are other apertures B', through which it is intended to display advertising matter so that the observer while watching the display in the aperture B will be compelled to notice the advertising matter displayed inthe apertures B'.

Referring especially to Figs. 8 to 1l, it will be seen that I employ a series of three concentric dials C, C', and C2, these dials diiering in size and only a portion of their faces being employed for indicating purposes. In the devices shown I have divided the indicating portion of each dial into six sectors of equal size, and each sector is decorated with different kinds of the same portion of thewhole design. As will be seen from Fig. 8, the smaller dial contains illustrations of the chin and mouth of individuals of widely-differing appearances, any one of which chins IOG and mouths is arranged to register accurately with the features on the middle dial C', which contains the middle portion of the face, including the eyes, ears, nose, drc., of the same individuals, while the indicating portion of the largest one, C2, of this set of dials contains the forehead, the., of these different individuals. It will readily be seen that if the position of these dials is shifted so as to make dierent combinations of the different portions of the faces grotesque and ludicrous results will be obtained and that such indications and changes will furnish a source of amusement and entertainment to the average spectator. It will be understood that these changes of the dials to produce the different combinations might be eected manually or in any other way desired; but I prefer to effect them automatically by means of some form of motor mechanism. I will now describe the form of mechanism which I have devised for this purpose and whichI at present consider best adapted for such purpose.

As will be best seen from Fig. 2, each of the dials is connected to one of a series of concentric shafts or sleeves D, D', D2, and D2. The dial C is connected to its shaft D by means of two circular plates c and d, between which it is clamped and which are secured to said shaft by a screw, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. To insure the dials against shifting their position relatively to the shaft to which they are connected, these plates are provided with spurs, as seen in Fig. 13, which take into the body of the dial. The dial C' is secured to a sleeve D', which is rotatably mounted on the shaft D. Instead of employing the form of plates c and d employed in connection with the dial C and the shaft D, I may employ, in connection with the dials C', C2, and C2 and the sleeves D', D2, and D2, the disks c', c2, and c2, which may be integral with or otherwise firmly fastened to the ends of the sleeves D', D2, and D2, and coperating against these disks c', c2, and c2 I employ the disks d', d2, and cl2, constructed, as shown in Fig. 13, with an interiorly-screw-threaded body and projections on the face of the disk proper. As the ends of the sleeves D', D2, and D2 next to the disks c', c2, and c2 are screw-threaded, it will be seen that in order to secure the dials rmly in position it is only necessary to place them between the disks c', c2, and c2 and the disks d', cl2, and d2 and screw the last-mentioned disks firmly against the first-mentioned disks. Rigidly fastened to the opposite ends of the shaft D and sleeves D', D2, and D2 are the disks E, E', E2, and These disks have their peripheries notched, as best shown in Fig. 5, where it will be seen that every alternate notch e is square and coperates with the t detents or pawls G, G', G2, and G2, while the remaining notches e' are rounded, but have approximately square shoulders on one side, which coperate with the operating-dogs F, F', F2, and F2. These operating-dogs for the general purposes of the invention might be of any desired shape and construction; but I have shown them as constructed of long Wires, consisting of the principal horizontal body portion f, the short vertical portion f', the relatively short horizontal portion f2, the vertical portions f2, the under horizontal portions f4, and the hooked portions f5. These long horizontal portions f serve merely as a connecting medium between the portions that cooperate with the disks E, E', E2, and E2 and the actuating mechanism for said dogs or pawls F, which will be described later on.

It may be stated at present that at each movement of the mechanism the operatingpawls F are reciprocated in the direction of their length, and it will be seen from Figs. 3 and 4 that when the dog F is drawn to the right its hook f2 will take against the shoulder of the notch e' adjacent to it and that the movement of the dog will carry the disk E forward a distance equal to the distance between two of said notches e'. As the dog F returns tothe left this disk E will not beaffected by its movement, butwill remain in its advanced position. The detents G, G', G2, and G2 are pivotally mounted upon a horizontal rod g, and their free ends are normally held against the peripheries of the disks E, E', E2, and E2 by means of the small springs g' employed for that purpose. The lower ends of these detents G, G', G2, and G2 are bent at a right angle, so as to form lugs g2. (Best shown in Figs. 5 and G.) These lugs g2 take into the square notches e and normally hold the wheels E from movement in either direction. These detents G, G', G2, and G2 have other lugs g2 projecting inwardly, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, with which oppositely-projecting lugs f2, located upon the vertical portions f of the operating-dogs F, F', F2, and F2, contact.

It will be seen from an inspection of Figs. 3, 4, 5, and 6 that as the operating-dogs F, F', F2, and F2 move to the right at the beginning of their movement their lugs f2 contact with the lugs g2 of the detents G, G', G2, and G2 and swing said detents so that their lugs g2 pass out of the notches e and release the disks E, E', E2, and E2, so that the further movement of the pawls F, F', F2, and F2 may carry the disks with them until the end of their stroke,

when the lugs g2 of the detents G, G', G2, and i G2 will take into the next notches e of' the disks E, E', E2, and E2 and lock them in their advanced position.

A construction such as hitherto described would cause all of the disks E, E', E2, and E2 to be operated by their pawls F, F', F2, and F2 every time that said pawls were reciprocated, if said pawls were reciprocated simultaneously. If these pawls were to be operated manually, there would be no need for operating them simultaneously, but as it is desired tooperate them simultaneously by the motor mechanism some means must be provided whereby they will not all operate their disks E, E', E2, and E2 simultaneously; otherwise the dierent combinations would not be made, but the same portions of the same faces would always appear together and there would be no changes. In order to effect these varying movements of the disks E, E', E2, andE2, the following mechanism is employed: t

lVhat may be termed an eccentric shaft His j ournaled in the framework immediately under and at right angles to the portions f2 of the dogs or pawls F, F, F2, and F2, and has rigidly attached to one end thereof the gearing pinion H. This shaft H has three bearing-surfaces h, h', and h2, arranged to cooperate with the portions f2 of the pawls or dogs F, F, and F2, respectively. These portions are arranged at such a distance and in such directions from the axis of the shaft H that when one of said portions-say h-is in its lowermost position, as indicated in Fig. 8, the other two portions h and h2 will be in a position or planes above the axis of the shaft H. In case this eccentric shaft H is to be employed to control three dogs or pawls, as in the construction illustrated, the arrangement of the shaft is substantially as follows: The ends of the shaft of course are mounted in concentric bearings, while the three bearing-surfaces h, h', and h2 are arranged at a certain distance from the axis of the shaft and at an angular distance of one hundred and ltwenty degrees from each other. The connecting portions between the two outer bearing-surfaces and the adjacent ends, respectively, of the inner bearing surface are in a straight line, and the complete construction is such as is clearly shown in Figs. 2, 3, 4, and G. It results from this construction that when the shaft H is in this position the operating-dog F will have its hook f2 in the plane of the uppermost teeth or notches e of the disk E, so that the reciprocation of said dog F will actuate said disk E. IVhile the shaft H is in this position, its portions h and h2, which cooperate with the dogs F' and F2, are above the aXis of the shaft and hold said dogs up out of the plane of the teeth or notches e' of their respective disks E and E2, so that the reciprocation of these dogs F and F2 will not operate their disks -E/ and E2. Moreover, it vwill be seen that the lugs f6 on the dogs F' and F2 will be raised above the plane of the lugs g3 on the detents G' and G2, so that said disks E and E2 will not be released and cannot be accidentally moved forward. In their lower or operative position the dogs F F', 85e., are in a plane substantiallytangent to the disks E E', 85e., while in their upper or non-operative position the plane which they occupy is not tangent to these disks. Incidentally it may be stated that this construction of the detents, positively locking their disks from rotation in either direction, except when they are to be operated by the movement of the operating-dogs, is a great advantage, as it absolutely prevents any accidental movement or displacement of the disks, and, moreover, enables me to dispense with the fixed washers, which are customarily placed bemove either of the disks E or E2, it will be necessary to turn the shaft II until the portion h or h2 corresponding to the disks desired to be operated is placed in its lowermost position beneath the axis of the shaft.

By an inspection` of the disks E, E', and E2, as shown in Fig. 3, it will be seen that they have six notches or teeth e', so that each movemeut of the disk moves another section of the indication upon the dials C, C', and C2 into View at the aperture B. In the construction that I have shown the largest or advertising dial C2 is divided into ten sections, and accordingly its disk E3, as seen in Fig. 5, has ten teeth or notches e'. The operating-dog F2, cooperating with this disk E3, has no portion f2 and is so arranged as not to be affected by the position of the shaft H, and consequently the advertising-dial is shifted at each movement of the dogs F, F', F2, and F2. As this advertising-dial disk E3 moves continuously, or, rather, is actuated at regular intervals, so long as the device is in operation, I employ said disk E2 to shift the position of the shaft H. To effect this result, I journal on the side of the casing, in the same plane as the gearpinion I-I, a gear-wheel J of twice the diameter of and meshing with the gear-pinion H. On the surface of said gear-Wheel J, I place a number of equidistantly-disposed pins J', which are in the plane of and contacted by the laterally and outwardly projecting spurs e2, equidistan tly disposed upon the face of the disk E2, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6. crank-shaped dog J2 is pivotally mounted beneath the wheel J and in the plane of the pins J and has upon one arm thereof two shoulders J 2, which are so arranged as to securely hold the wheel J in its position by reason of the cooperation of said shoulders with the pins J. A pin e2, projecting from the spur e2 into the plane of the other arm of the dog J2, takes against said dog and moves it suiiiciently to unlock the wheel J from the dog J2 just before the spurs e2 contact with the pins J to ad- Vance the wheel J one space every time one of said spurs e2 passes said wheel. The dog J2 is spring-pressed or held by gravity so as to normally lock the wheel J from movement. In the construction I have illustrated the disk E2 is provided with two of the spurs e2, and consequently at every fifth actuation of the disk E3 the wheel J is moved forward through A ben-k ICO IIO

a radial distance of sixty degrees, and consequently moves the pinion H' and the shaft H through a radial distance of one hundred and twenty degrees, thus bringing another one of the surfaces or portions h, 7i', and h2 into its lowest position, so as to bring another one of the disks E, E', and E2 into operation. As these disks E, E', and E2 have siX teeth each, it will be seen that one disk is moved forward five spaces and then remains stationary, while the remaining disks move through ve spaces each at separate intervals, when the first disk will again come into action. By this construction it will be seen that every one of the possible two hundred and sixteen combinations will be eected automatically. From a consideration of the movement of these disks it will be seen that it is regular and in succession and seriali/im. The first disk moves one space at a time through ve spaces, when it stops movement, and the second disk moves a space at a time through five spaces, when it stops movement, and the third disk moves through a space at a time through ve spaces, when it stops movement and the first disk begins movement again, and, moving through a space at a time,'moves iive spaces, and so on throughout a continuous cycle.

The mechanism for reciprocating the operating-dogs F, F', F2, and F2 will next be considered, reference being had especially to Figs. 2, 3, 4, and 7. The power is applied to the motor mechanism by means of a crankhandle K, which is applied to a winding-arbor K', which is journaled in the back of the casing and has onv its inner end a gear-pinion K2, rigidly fastened thereto. This pinion K2 meshes with an internally-toothed gear L, cut in a flange L', arranged on the periphery of la disk L2, which is rigid with a sleeve L2, which may be journaled upon the shaft M, arranged in said casing. A strong spiral spring N is fastened to the sleeve L2 at one end and at the other end to the inner periphery of the spring-barrel N', which may be mounted upon the shaft M directly or by means of a sleeve. A dog O, fastened to the casing, engages with the gear-teeth L and prevents any backward movement of the disk L2 and the sleeve L2. If the spring-barrel N' be held by any means, it will be seen that as the handle K is turned to the right the spring N will be wound up and put under tension. This spring-barrel N' has a gear N2 upon its outer periphery, and this gear N2 meshes with a train of suitable gearing P, which terminates in a screw Q, which has a small fan-wheel Q' upon its shaft.

It will be seen from an examina-tion of the gearingasshown in Fig. 3 that if no intervening mechanism is employed the spring N will move the train of gearing at a rate pro# portional to its internal resistance and the resistance of the fan-wheel Q. At a suitable position in this train of gearing I place a shaft R, which is of the form and construction best shown in Fig. 7, being what is generally known as a double crank shaft. This shaft has two oppositely-disposed eccentric portions R and R2, and upon the longer eccentric portion R' are mounted the bearings for the dogs F, F', and F2, while upon the oppositely-disposed shorter eccentric portion R2 is mounted a bearing for the'dog F2. v It results from the construction of this eccentric shaft and the arrangement of the bearings of the dogs F, F', F2, and F2 thereupon that during one-half of the revolution of said shaft R the disk E2 will be moved forward, while during the other one-half of the movement of said shaft one of thedisks E, E', and E2,'de pending upon the position of the shaft H, will be moved forward. The resulting alternate movement Vof the dial C2 and the dials C, C', and C2 prevents any possible disarrangement of the parts and failure to operate, which might occur if the disks E2 and disks E, E',

and E2 should move simultaneously instead of tion thoroughly and will allow his attention to be drawn to the advertising exhibit or display. To effect this intermittent movementA of the mechanism, l employ an ordinary timemovement S, which is conveniently mounted above the casing which contains the motor mechanism and has upon' one of the wheels of its train one or more lugs S',which` at every revolution of said wheel will contact with the end of a lever T, which is pivoted at a point T to the casing or some other stationary portion of the mechanism. The lowerV end of the lever T is formed in a loop or hook T2, which surrounds a somewhat similar lever U, which is similarly pivoted or fulcrumed at U'. The lower end of this lever U' terminates in an arm U2, which extends into the plane of and in front of an arm Q2, fastened to the screw-shaft Q. The upper end of this lever U terminates in an arm or hook U2, which projects into the plane of a notched disk V, connected to the train of gearing P. This notched disk V has one or more equidistantlydisposed notches V', into which the arm U3 of the lever U normally takes. When the lever U is in the position shown in Fig. 3,'it will be seen that the arm U2, having taken into the notch V', will prevent the movement of the train of gearing P and that the movement of said train of gearing will be further prevented by reason of the arm Q2 on the shaft Q contacting with the arm U2on the lever U. When the time-movement S is moved forward a sufficient distance to bring the pin S into contact with the upper end of the lever T, the movement of said lever by reason of its hook T2 will swing the lower end of the lever U to the right until the arms U2 and Q2 IOO IIO

are disengaged and the arm U is removed from the notch V'. The motor is now free to run and Will run, the arm U3 riding on the outer surface of the notched disk V, thus preventing the arm U2 from getting into the plane of the arm Q2 until the next notch V in the notched disk V comes around and receives the arm U3, When the arm U2 of the lever U will move into the plane of the arm Q2 on the shaft Q and stop the motortrain. During this movement the shaft R Will have been moved one-half a rotation and the operating-dogs F F reciprocated to shift the indicating or advertising dial, as the case may be.

It Will be seen that my invention is a generic one and that the apparatus employed is capable of many modifications, and I do not desire to be limited except as required by the state of the art and as suggested by the terms of the claims.
