Definitions

• This invention relates to advertising apparatus.
• the object of this invention is to provide a simple, attractive, easily operated, efiicient advertising novelty, and particularly to provide such a novelty including a sign structure adapted to be illuminated at successive intervals by vari-colored lights; the circuit through the lights being controlled by a moving part of the decorated sign structure.
• Fig. l is *p ire view of brush.
• F Q a int/silica ion showing batter circuit.
• Fig. l It is a desideratuni to provide my device in combination with certain advertising signs, having a movable decoratedpart, such, for instance, as is shown in Fig. l, in which is represented a barbers pole 2 having a decorated cylinder 3 rotatably mounted upon the pole, which is secured upon a shaft 4, to which power may be applied from any suitable source, not here shown.
• This style of advertising structure is rendered attractive by account of its coloring and the tie decorated or striped cylinder 3, but night, should the pole be erected at any distance from a good light, the pole structure becomes almost or entirely invisibio, and in order to render the device more effective to serve its purpose, it is our inten- 4 Specification of Letters Patent.
• asuitable, transparent. non-electric conducting disk or switch plate 5 which is disposed horizontally in a cap 6 of the sign.
• the upper portion of the cap 611215 a globe 7, which may be transparent or opaque, as desired, and in this is erected a cluster of vari-colored lights 8, which, for instance, may be red. white and blue in harmony of coloring, with the sign.
• the sockets ot the several lights are connected, as shown in Fig. 2, to a main electric conductor 10 by branch wires ihand the sockets attached by brush wires 12 to respective brushes 13.
• the brushes adapted to rest upon an annulus or flat ring ll oi conducting material, which is electrically energized by a main brush 15, to which is connected the return main re l6.
• a main brush 15 to which is connected the return main re l6.
• current enters the ring it which is secured upon. the upper surface of the turnable switch 5 and flows through the sev eral brushes to the lights, thence out on the main lead 10.
• the brush l5 bears on the outermost portion of the corn ductor ll, while the several light brushes 13 bear upon c 'e thereof nearer the center oi the 5, and for the purpose of intern curly flashing and cutting oil.
• Fig. 4 a very and yet easy running form of brush, in which there is 'provided a ball 19, which rests between the up wardly folded leaf 20 of the brush 13, which presses the ball 19 so as to rest upon a seat 21, preferably of less diameter than the ball 19, so that when the brush 13 is en-' tirely lifted from the support upon which the ball 19 travels, the pressure of the spring fold or leaf 20 will not push the ball through the seat 21.
• the brushes are assembled in place, the balls 19 rest upon the upper surface of the contact ring 14 and constantly bear on the lower surface of the spring or fold 20, thus at all times making a positive contact.
• the brushes while mak-. ing good contact, will not bear with sufficient pressure to materially retard the movement or rotation of the revolving disk switch 5.
• the switch brushes are shown as connected in a battery circuit 22, of which there is v a branch for each brush, each branch including a magnet 23, which, when energized, will attract its armature 24, thus in turn closing a circuit through its wire 12 to a lamp in the main circuit.
