专利汇可以提供Animated display device and method专利检索，专利查询，专利分析的服务。并且A method and apparatus for animating a display device including a figure mounted for rotation on a support for the device and having a laterally extending element from the body of the figure with a flexible tendon secured thereto and an action element secured to the free end of the tendon is disclosed. Additionally, a stationary reaction rod is positioned adjacent the figure, and figure driving means is connected to rotate the figure. On rotation, the weighted action element swings outward under centrifugal force, and the figure dwells or remains in a stationary position facing a predetermined side of the display when the tendon engages the reaction rod winds, unwinds and swings free thereof in the manner of an escapement mechanism. The reaction rod, weighted element and preferably the projecting element are all formed as objects relating to an activity being simulated by the figure. Various constructions of the driving means are shown.，下面是Animated display device and method专利的具体信息内容。
1. An animated display device for simulation through interrupted motion of the movement of a figure during an activity, comprising: a. a support having a front side for viewing of the display device; b. a figure rotatably mounted to said support for rotation about a generally vertical axis and formed to depict an objEct during an activity including movement, said figure further having a body including a normally viewed side thereof and a projecting element extending laterally from said body; c. flexible tendon means secured to said projecting element and extending therefrom to terminate in a free end; d. a weighted action element secured to said tendon means adjacent said free end and formed to represent a moving object related to the activity depicted by said figure; e. a stationary reaction rod secured to said support in spaced relation to said figure and extending upwardly of said support to at least the height of said projecting element, said reaction rod being formed to represent a stationary object related to the activity represented by said figure and being positioned at a distance from said projecting element less than the length of said tendon means and greater than about one-half the difference of length of said tendon means less the length of said projecting element, said reaction rod being further positioned relative to said front side of said support so that rotation of said projecting element to a position pointing toward said reaction rod presents said normally viewed side of said figure toward said front side of said support; and f. figure driving means formed and operatively connected to said figure to rotate said figure about said vertical axis to allow said figure to dwell and to resume rotation of said figure whereby said action element swings outwardly of said body under centrifugal force during rotation causing said tendon means to engage said reaction rod when said projecting element points toward said reaction rod, said figure dwelling with said normally viewed side thereof facing said front side of said support while said tendon means winds around said reaction rod, unwinds and said action element and tendon means swing free of said reaction rod for renewed rotation of said figure.
2. An animated display device as defined in claim 1 wherein, said figure driving means is comprised of an electric motor formed to run continuously, and clutch means connected to said motor and said figure and formed to go into slip condition upon engagement of said reaction rod by said tendon means and dwelling of said figure.
3. An animated display device as defined in claim 2 wherein, said clutch means is a friction clutch comprising a first disc member mounted to said motor for rotation therewith, a second disc member superimposed over and frictionally engaging said first disc member, said figure being mounted for rotation with said second disc member, one of said disc members further being formed with a universal connection formed to cause both of said disc members to rotate in substantially the same plane to provide maximum surface contact between the two disc members at all positions during rotation.
4. An animated display device as defined in claim 1 wherein, said figure driving means is comprised of a hysteresis-type electric motor connected directly to drive said figure.
5. An animated display device as defined in claim 1 wherein, said figure driving means is comprised of spring motor mechanism.
6. An animated display device as defined in claim 5 wherein, said spring motor mechanism is formed to provide a substantially constant output torque.
7. An animated display device as defined in claim 1 and, a stationary additional reaction rod secured to said support at a second position thereon, said additional reaction rod being formed substantially as defined for the first named reaction rod and being positioned to cause said figure to dwell with said normally viewed side facing a second side of said support.
8. An animated display device as defined in claim 1 wherein, said figure is formed to represent a human being engaged in a sports activity, said projecting element is formed to represent a piece of sporting equipment, and said driving means rotates said figure in a predetermined direction to coRrespond to simulation of the sports activity in a direction toward a side of said display.
9. A method of animating a display device comprising: a. mounting an escapement mechanism to a support for the display device, said escapement mechanism including a central rotating element having a laterally projecting arm, a flexible tendon affixed to said arm adjacent the end thereof, a weighted action element affixed adjacent the free end of said tendon, driving means connected to rotate said central element, and a stationary reaction rod positioned in spaced relation to the end of said arm to interrupt the rotation of said central element upon engagement of said tendon with said rod; b. mounting a figure to be animated on said central element and incorporating said arm into an object related to the activity depicted by said figure; c. forming said weighted action element as a representation of a moving object normally related to the activity depicted by the figure; d. forming said reaction rod as a representation of a stationary object normally related to the activity depicted by the figure; e. positioning said reaction rod in predetermined relation to the side of said display device to be viewed in order that said figure repetitively rotates and stops upon engagement of said reaction rod by said tendon with said figure at an orientation to said side of said display device presenting the same side of said figure for viewing for each rotation.
10. A method as defined in claim 9 wherein, said figure is formed as a human being and said arm is formed as a piece of sporting equipment; and mounting a second reaction rod to said support for said display device in a position for repetitive viewing of a side of said figure upon stopping of said figure upon engagement of said second reaction rod from a second side of said display device.
