Abstract
An endless belt display device adapted for mounting on a conveyor system for rotatably moving the device comprises an endless belt having a top surface and a transparent panel having all but one edge bonded to the top surface of the belt, the panel forming a pocket with the belt and adapted for receiving advertisement through the unbonded edge to be viewed through the panel as the belt is being rotated by the conveyor system.
Claims11
A visual display device comprising:
- a flexible conveyor belt having a top surface and a top edge, means for rotating the belt for recirculating movement along an endless path in a horizontal plane, the rotating means comprising a pair of roller assemblies and tensioning bolts which are loosened to decrease the span between the pair of roller assemblies;
- and
- a transparent panel having all but one edge bonded to the top surface of the belt with the unbonded edge being parallel to the top edge, the panel forming a pocket with the belt through which an advertisement is placed to be viewed through the panel while the belt is being recirculated along the endless path in the horizontal plane, the unbonded edge and the top edge being in direct contact with each other as the belt is being rotated and effectively sealed together while the belt is being recirculated along the endless path, the unbounded edge and the top edge being separated by loosening the tensioning bolts to decrease the span between the roller assemblies, and the panel providing a surface upon which articles may be placed.
An endless belt display device mounted on a conveyor system having a pair of opposed rollers for rotatably moving the device in a horizontal plane and tensioning bolts which are loosened to decrease the span between the pair of rollers, the device comprising:
- a belt formed as a continuous loop encircling the rollers and driven thereby, the belt having a top surface and a top edge;
- and
- a transparent panel having all but one edge bonded to the top surface of the belt with the unbonded edge being parallel to the top edge, the panel forming a first pocket and a second pocket with the top surface of the belt, the first pocket receiving a first advertisement through the unbonded edge of the panel and for displaying the advertisement through the panel during rotation of the belt by the rollers, the second pocket formed with the top surface of the belt by forming a seam between the first and second pockets, the second pocket receiving a second advertisement through the unbonded edge of the panel and for displaying the advertisement through the panel during rotation of the belt by the rollers, the unbonded edge and the top edge being in direct contact with each other as the belt is being rotated and effectively sealed together during rotation of the belt by the rollers, the unbonded edge and the top edge being separated by loosening the tensioning bolts to decrease the span between the pair of rollers, and the panel providing a surface upon which article may be placed.
