Description

The invention relates to a roller blind advertising device for dynamic reproduction of image and / or font information, with at least one finite or endlessly trained Advertising roll curtain` which has at least one, horizontal arranged roller body is guided, the of part of the advertising roll curtain hanging down from the roller body aligned in the vertical direction following gravity and spread out

For product presentation and presentation, especially on Measure, it is necessary to get the viewer's attention to draw on himself. Smaller advertising devices are said to be portable be and take up little storage space. It is known, Training advertising devices in the form of a roller blind, the advertising roller curtain is a web of material that can be rolled up on a winding body. For transportation the advertising roll curtain completely on the winding body wound up so that only a small transport volume is required becomes. For mounting on a trade fair stand or similar the winding body is then fixed and the advertising roll curtain unrolled.

A disadvantage of the known roller blind advertising devices is that applied to the media roll curtain Image and / or font information is purely static, so that them in an environment with a lot of visual stimuli like them on are given at a trade fair.

It is also known to provide image and / or font information to cut into strips and on rotatable bodies, for example Prisms to attach. By rotating this body becomes a picture change causes. Different ones appear one after the other Image and / or font information and already guide due to the dynamics of the image change the attention of the Viewer on himself.

A disadvantage of such devices, however, is that they Advertising devices can be transported as an assembled unit must therefore take up a lot of transport volume. In addition it is time consuming to set a different strip of image and / or Produce font information and in the device to replace.

It is therefore the task of a roller blind advertising device to create that is portable and easy to assemble and a presentation of image and / or font information with high dynamics with simple construction of the device enables.

This task is solved by a roller blind advertising device of the type mentioned, characterized in that is that by means of a drive module, the advertising roll curtain can be rolled up and unrolled over the roller body and / or one mounted on the advertising roll curtain Image and / or font information is vertically displaceable and that the advertising device at least one on or in the Advertising roller curtain arranged pulse generator element, at least a sensor element and one with the sensor element and control device connected to the drive module.

With the help of the control unit, an automatic continuous Image change achieved the attention of the The viewer. One can with sensor elements certain stop position with an advertising roller blind controlled. By specifically stopping the movement on given the viewer the opportunity to complete Capture image and / or font information.

Because the advertising roll curtain is in gravity vertical direction are no guiding devices, such as rails or rope / ring systems, necessary so that only a frame is required in which the with including the roller body provided with advertising media roller blinds the associated drives can be attached. The The stand can be a stand that enables the Device to set up freely and the advertising roll curtain unwind over the entire length.

By setting the control unit accordingly can now successively different image and / or font information appear.

It is also possible, at least next to one another, preferably to arrange three roller bodies. The axes of rotation of the roller bodies are preferably in flight.

With such an arrangement of the roller bodies, an interesting, the product presentation that arouses curiosity be reinforced that at least one image and / or writing information divided into several strips by vertical cuts is that on the advertising roller blinds side by side arranged roller body are applied. By successive Unroll or push forward, for example from the left to the right, the entire image and / or complete Font information.

In a further advantageous variant, this is complete rolled out or endlessly trained advertising roll curtain passed over the roller body and between this and one pressure roller acting on it can be moved by friction. Rotation of the roller body turns the web-shaped advertising roll curtain so back and forth that alternately the image and / or writing information on the front and appear on the back of the media roll curtain.

In order to prevent the moving advertising roller curtain runs obliquely with increasing operating time and possibly starts the frame reaches and is damaged there, the Advertising roll curtain with at least one of its edges Recesses and the pressure roller and / or the Roller body with driver elements compatible with the recesses be provided. Run through the form-fitting guide the side edges of the media roll curtain always in right angle to the axis of rotation.

Pairings of, for example, are suitable for signal generation Magnetic encoder and magnetic switch (so-called reed relay) or of radiation transmitters and receivers. The pulse generator can also be formed by a recess in the endless belt, so that light rays can pass through and on one light-sensitive sensor receiver generate a pulse. Partial light-absorbing or light-reflecting can also be used Printing or coating the surface of the Endless bands trigger impulses.

It is also possible to use the sensor element to create a mechanical To effect scanning of the endless belt, thereby making raised Pulse generator elements and / or recesses on the endless belt are to be recorded.

Another advantage of the invention is that Sequence of several arranged in the direction of movement on the endless belt Easy programming of the pulse generator elements Control device is possible.
