Abstract
A pictorial image viewing device for use on a desk top, shelf or the like in home or office, wherein a plurality of triangular image holders are pivotally mounted on a support, wherein the holders are unobstructed at their tops for easy entry onto and removal of various images from the holders, and wherein transmission structure is provided for synchronously pivoting the holders to selectively present different images to a viewing front or plane.
Claims12
A device for selectively displaying different series of images along a viewing front, said device comprising elongated support means having a plurality of first pivot means arranged along a mounting axis of said support means, a like plurality of armature means each having an elongated body portion which is triangular in cross-section, tubular and open at its top, and is comprised of rigid, transparent material, base means, a longitudinal axis, and a second pivot means pivotally associated with a said first pivot means such that all said longitudinal axes are oriented substantially parallel to each other and all of said armature means are pivotal about substantially parallel axes, each said armature means having a plurality of viewing face means each of which is adapted to carry a said image, and power transmission means on said support means and associated with each said armature means to impart synchronous pivoting of all said armature means about their pivotal axes whereby each said series of images can be displayed selectively along a viewing front.
A device for selectively displaying different series of images along a viewing front, said device comprising elongated support means having a plurality of first pivot means arranged along a mounting axis of said support means, a like plurality of armature means each having an elongated body portion having a generally tubular shaped body portion of transparent material mounted on a rigid base and a second pivot means comprises a shaft segment affixed to said base and extending downwardly thru said first pivot means, and wherein said body portion is open at its top to allow the insertion of images down into or over said body portion and into viewing posture adjacent a window means, base means, a longitudinal axis, and said second pivot means pivotally associated with a said first pivot means such that all said longitudinal axes are oriented substantially parallel to each other and all of said armature means are pivotal about substantially parallel axes, each said armature means having a plurality of viewing face means each of which is adapted to carry a said image, and power transmission means on said support means and associated with each said armature means to impart synchronous pivoting of all said armature means about their pivot axes whereby each said series of images can be displayed selectively along a viewing front.
