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

Abstract

The subject of the application is an advertising water wheel with a tilting board and a rotating and tilting base, having blades (1) attached to a rim (2) 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, with the axes of the spindles parallel to the wheel's axis of rotation, and the center of gravity of the board (4) located on its plane of symmetry under the spindle, allowing 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), which, when struck, causes the board (4) to deflect from the horizontal and move 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), into which water flows, causing the platform to rise.The liquid tank (7) contains a drain valve (8) that opens when the tank (7) is filled to a predetermined level. The floating platform (6) is attached to the wall of the liquid tank (6) on one of its sides via a hinge (9), which causes the floating platform (6) and the wheel to deflect as the liquid level rises. The liquid tank (7) is positioned on the upper surface of a horizontal water wheel (10), whose axis of rotation is vertical. The horizontal water wheel (10) is mounted in a tank (11) equipped with a water supply and drainage system (11.2), and its rotation causes the entire water wheel advertising assembly to rotate horizontally.
