Abstract
A sound emitting advertising and information display device which has a roller housing which has an internal chamber. A sheet member is wound on a roller and is contained within the internal chamber. The sheet member is to be manually extendable from the housing with advertising indicia that is located on the sheet member to then be capable of being read by a human. During the time of extending of the sheet member, a sound is emitted that is to correspond with the advertising indicia. The advertising display device is to be attached to the front end of a product supporting shelf in a store.
Claims14
A sound emitting advertising display device comprising:
- a roller housing having an internal chamber;
- a roller rotationally mounted to said roller housing, said roller being located within said internal chamber;
- a windup spring located within said internal chamber, said windup spring being mounted between said roller and said roller housing;
- a sheet member having an inner end and an outer end, said inner end being secured to said roller, said sheet member to contain advertising indicia, a pull handle mounted on said outer end, whereby said sheet member is to be wound on said roller as said roller is rotated with rotation of said roller causing compressing of said windup spring which exerts a bias onto said roller to tending to locate said sheet member in a tightly wound position with said pull handle located directly adjacent said roller housing, whereby said pull handle can be manually moved away from said housing causing extension of said sheet member exteriorly of said housing causing exposing of the advertising indicia, and upon release of said pull handle, said bias of said windup spring will cause the sheet member to be rewound on said roller;
- and
- an actuator mounted on said roller, said actuator to contact a tripping mechanism causing the production of an audio message in the form of words or music which is to correspond to the advertising indicia.
A sound emitting advertising display device comprising:
- a housing having an internal chamber;
- a roller rotationally mounted to said housing, said roller being located within said internal chamber;
- a sheet member having an inner end and an outer end, said inner end being secured to said roller, said outer end being accessible external to said housing;
- a windup spring connected to said housing and to said roller and biased such that it tends to retract said sheet member into said internal chamber;
- a sound generating device capable of creating an audible, intentional and significant sound;
- and
- an actuator which activates said sound generating device.
