Advertising water wheel with radial, rotational and tilting movement of the display board and vertical and rotational movement of the base

Abstract

The subject of the application is an advertising water wheel with radial, rotary, and tilting movement of the board, and vertical and rotary movement of the base. It has blades (1) attached to a rim (2). The rim (2) is mounted by arms on an axle pivotally mounted in the base (3). The boards (4) are pivotally attached to the rim (2). The axis of the spindle is parallel to the wheel's axis of rotation. The center of gravity of the board (4) is located on its plane of symmetry under the spindle. This allows the boards (4) to generally maintain parallel alignment of their bases with respect to the horizontal during wheel rotation. The spindle is attached to the rim (2) in a radially arranged guide allowing it to move in the radial direction of the wheel. A bumper (5) is located adjacent to the wheel, in the path of the boards (4). Upon striking the bumper (5), the board (4) deviates from the horizontal position and moves in a pendulum-like motion relative to the spindle.The base (3) is mounted on a floating platform (6) located in a liquid reservoir (7). Water flows into the reservoir (7), causing the platform to rise. The liquid reservoir (7) contains a drain valve (8), which opens when the reservoir (7) is filled to a predetermined level. The floating platform (6) is pivotally mounted on guides (7-1) in the form of columns. The liquid reservoir (7) is positioned on the upper surface of a horizontal water wheel (9), whose axis of rotation is vertical. The horizontal water wheel (9) is mounted in a reservoir (10) equipped with a water supply and drainage system (10-2). Rotation of the horizontal water wheel (9) causes the entire water wheel advertising assembly to rotate horizontally.
