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

Abstract

The subject of the application is an advertising water wheel with a tilting board and a vertical base movement, having blades (1) attached to a rim (2). The rim (2) is mounted by arms on an axle pivotally mounted in the base (3). Four boards (4) are pivotally attached to the rim (2), each mounted on its own spindle. The spindle axes are 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 their parallel alignment with the horizontal during wheel rotation. 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 tank (7). Water flows into the tank (7), causing the platform to rise.The liquid tank (7) has a drain valve (8) that opens when the tank (7) is filled to a predetermined level. The floating platform (6) is mounted on guide rails (7.1) in the form of columns.
