Abstract
A Cassette and an Appurtenant Apparatus having a Screen for Cyclical Displaying of a Plurality of Pictures.
Abstract:
The cassette to be used in an apparatus having a screen for showing a plurality of different pictures sequentially comprises two sets of sheets, each being di-vided in strips (1a, 1b, 1c resp. 2a, 2b, 2c). The strips are made by cutting lines which at their ends are joining openings. The openings in the sheets of the foremost set extend upwards from the cutting line, and the openings in the sheets of the rearmost set extend downwards from the cutting line. Thus the sheets and hence the strips are mutually displaceable in a vertical direction, and the picture segments on the strips (2b) in a sheet belonging to the rearmost set can be displaced upwardly beyond the upper edges of the strips (1a) in a blank front sheet (1).
Corresponding picture segments on the strips in a sheet be-longing to the foremost sheet can be displaced further up-wards to cover the remaining segment of the strips in the front sheet (la), whereby a complete picture becomes vi-sible. The vertical movements of the sheets can be control-ed by motor-driven guide means acting on the marginal port-ions of the sheets. For each picture to be shown, the cassette has to contain only two sheets carrying identical pictures, i.e. a picture sheet in the foremost set and a picture sheet in the rearmost set.

3,659,367 it is known to use two sheets, each of which is divided in a plurality of picture carrying strips by means of cutting lines which at their ends join a short cutting line situated perpendicular to the first cutting line in the marginal portion of the sheet. By mutual disk placement of the sheets two different pictures can be shown alternately, but it is not possible to produce a greater number of pictures, ego 5 or 6 pictures successive-lye by one single cassette.
It is the object of the invention to provide a relatively thin cassette of the kind dealt with, which is easy to produce and is easily replaceable and which is adapted to display a greater number of pictures than hither-us to possible, said cassette having strips which by simple guide means can be displaced safely over a substantial part of their height, preferably in such manner that only two groups of picture carrying strips are needed to form a whole picture.
Further, it is an object of the invention to pro-vise an apparatus having simple guide means for safe con-trot of the strip movements.
The cassette according to the invention is char-acteristic in that the cutting lines between the strips in a picture forming group in a first sheet at the marginal portions join openings which are all pointing away from the cutting line in the same vertical direction, and that the .
2}7~
o cutting lines between the strips in a second picture form-in group for the obtaining of the same picture all at their ends in the marginal portions join openings pointing away from the cutting line in a direction opposite to the direction of the first mentioned openings.
The simultaneously displaceable strips in each group are made by simple punching in a sheet, e.g. a sheet showing a complete picture, and the displacement of a group of strips is simply effectuated by displacement of the 0 sheet of which they form part, by means of guide means engaging the marginal portions of the sheets. The cassette that consists of flat sheets lying upon one another, has a small thickness compared to the number of different plot-uses that can be shown, and because the openings in the S sheets two be moved when showing a picture are pointing in opposite directions, it has become possible to show for nuance 6 diffe~er.t pictures successively.
As the strips in two groups or two sheets can be - mutt displaced o'er the entire strip height, a pro-furred embodiment of the invention is characteristic in that the strips in those groups that together are forming 2 Colette picture are arranged in only two sheets, each of - which is carrying a complete puke e on the group of picture carrying strips formed in the sheet. Since each picture to be displayed requires only two identical picture sheets or possibly only one picture, the picture forming segments of which are distributed on the two sheets and spaced from one another by a strip width, a saving as well as a no-duped cassette thickness are obtained when comparing with known cassettes containing three or more identical picture sheets for each picture to be displayed.
. The openings at the ends of the cutting lines may for instance be isosceles triangles which can be punched by a simple tool.
If desired, the cassette according to the invention may simply comprise two piles each consisting of two sheets, and conveniently the foremost pair of sheets may be picture-less and the rear most pair of sheets showing a single picture.
I
- -o Advantageously the cassette may be made so as to show several, say five or six different pictures successively.
According to the invention, this can be effectuated in that s the sheets cooperating in pairs and carrying the same plot-use are arranged each within their own set of sheet sand that the openings in all the sheets in one set are pointing in opposite- direction of the opinions it all the sheets it the other set. By placing a preferably picture-less station-o cry front sheet in front of the sheets in each of the sheet piles, a secure guidance of the sheets with the plot-use forming strips is obtained, and it has become possible to arrange an advantageous pause between the display of the individual pictures.
According to the invention, the sheets with the picture forming strips may in their marginal portions have Miss, e. a. securing holes o- clamps. Hereby it is ascertain-Ed that they will be correctly arranged in vertically move-able guide means in a display apparatus which according to the invention has corresponding gripping means to be coupled to the marginal portions of the picture forming sheets.
The invention is explained in greater detail in the phyla nag with reverence to the drawing where Figure l shows a first front sheet in an embodiment of the cassette according to the invention, Figure 2 shows a partial picture of a second front sheet in the same cassette, Figure 3 and 4 in plane view and in a vertical section respectively, the two front sheets shown in their relative positions in a display apparatus, Figure 5 a front view of a part of the cassette in which the rear most of two cooperating picture sheets has been displaced so upwardly that a display zone on each strip has become visible, Figure 6 a partial picture illustrating the positions of the individual strips in the cassette in the condition shown in Figure 5, ~L2Z~8~9 Figure 7 a pat of the cassette in which the fore-most picture sheet cooperating with the picture sheet in Figure 5 has been moved upwards in such manner that the disk play zones of the strips have become visible and are come pleating the display zones on the picture sheet shown in Figure S, and Figure 8 a partial picture illustrating the no-native positions of the strips in the situation shown in Figure 7.
Thea embodiment to be described of the cassette according to the invention, has a front sheet l which by a plurality of cutting lines 3 has been divided in picture-less strips lo forming a group. At each end of the cutting lines 3 an opening 4 has been punched out, forming an isoscele triangle extending upwardly from the cutting line.
As appears from Figures 6 and 8 a number of picture carrying sheets two sheets in the case shown) have been arranged - behind the front sheet, said sheets being provided with strips lb, to which in their initial position are lying directly behind the strips lay These sheets are punched out in the same manner as the front sheet l in Figure lo Behind this first-mentioned set of sheets a second set of sheets is located, the sheets having punched cutting lines 3 and triangular openings 5 extending downwards from 25 the corresponding cutting line 3 as shown in Figure 2. Be- -hind the front sheet 2 is a picture carrying sheet having strips 2b constituting a picture similar to the one formed by the strips lb in the first picture carrying sheet of the first set, and rear most is a second picture carrying sheet with strips 2c carrying a picture which is identical with the picture formed by the strips to in the last sheet of the first set.
The cassette is placed in a display apparatus not shown, having holding and guiding means engaging the margin-at portions of the sheets and holding the front sheets l and 2 aligned in -their positions shown in Figures 3 and 4, while the strips lb and to, not Sheehan, in Figure 4 are extending analogous with the strips lo to the right thereof, and the strips 2b and 2c, not shown, are extending analogous with the strips 2c and are lying between the strips lo and pa in Figure 4. The holding and guiding means can move the picture carrying sheets with the strips lb/ to, 2b, 2c in-dividually in vertical direction. The guiding means are actuated by a motor and programmed to move in such manner that after a picture-less screen formed by the strips pa, successively after each other follow a picture constituted lo by the strips lb and 2b and then a picture constituted by the strips to and 2c, possibly with a picture-less screen between each picture. For the sake of simplicity it is here shown and described only how two pictures are alternating but it will be understood that several pictures, e.g. six pictures, can be successively displayed, in which case a corresponding number of picture carrying sheets with piles of strips lying upon each other are provided. If desired, a cassette can also comprise more than two picture carrying sheets having cooperating identical pictures, each of which is divided in a group of strips. However, it is an essential advantage of the cassette according to the invention, that more than two identical picture carrying sheets for each picture to be displayed are not required. The guiding means in the displaying apparatus are advantageously provided with finlike members adapted to engage corresponding apertures 6 (Figure 2) in the marginal portions of the sheets in order to ensure correct locating of the sheets in the apparatus. The marginal portions of the sheets could also be provided with clips or projecting lugs cooperating with gripping members on the guiding means.
When a picture corresponding to the one constituted by the strips lb and the strips 2b respectively, is to be displayed, the sheets are moving in the following manner:
By an upward pull in the first picture carrying sheet in the second set of sheets the strips 2b are moved up beyond the upper edges of the strips lo in the first front sheet, so that visible display zones with the picture ~2~9 I
portions appear as shown in Figures 5 and 6, Simultaneously or immediately after or before, the first picture carrying sheet in the first set of sheets is purled upwards in such manner that visible picture segments on the strips lb will fill in the space between the visible picture portions of the strips 2b, whereby the complete picture will become visible, see Figures 7 and I It appears that it is the upper half of the strips 2b and the upper half of the strips lb that become visible, or in other words, the picture on the picture carrying sheet of the first set behind the first front sheet) must be displaced by the half height of a strip downwards relative to the picture on the picture carrying sheet with the strips 2b in the second set of sheets (behind the second front sheet).
It will be obvious that the openings 4, 5, which behind the first set of sheets extend upwards from the cut-in lines 3 and in the second set of sheets extend downwards from the cutting lines 3, may have other shapes than that shown, of an isosceles triangle. Further, it will be obvious that the openings in the foremost set of sheets might point downwards from the cutting lines and in the rearms set of sheets might point upwards from the cutting lines, whereby the strips in the rear most set of sheets will extend down-warmly, and the displacement of the picture carrying sheets will be carried out in a downward direction. However, when a picture is illuminated by light from above, which most frequently will be the case, it is preferable that the cassette is constructed as shown in the drawings, because shadows from the free horizontal edges of the strips hereby may be avoided.
Fort, if desired, the sheets may be placed in an arbitrary oblique position or lying horizontally or with both side edges horizontally, but in the same vertical or slanting plane and with the vertical or slanting strips being illuminated from one side.
It will be understood that by the invention a flat cassette has been provided, in which the sheets can be moved ``-` 12Z~
so as to cyclically display a plurality of pictures as the sheets are driven upwardly and downwardly in reciprocating movements by guiding means engaging the marginal portions of the sheets.
It is the object of the invention to provide a relatively thin cassette of the kind dealt with, which is easy to produce and is easily replaceable and which is adapted to display a greater number of pictures than hither-us to possible, said cassette having strips which by simple guide means can be displaced safely over a substantial part of their height, preferably in such manner that only two groups of picture carrying strips are needed to form a whole picture.
Further, it is an object of the invention to pro-vise an apparatus having simple guide means for safe con-trot of the strip movements.
The cassette according to the invention is char-acteristic in that the cutting lines between the strips in a picture forming group in a first sheet at the marginal portions join openings which are all pointing away from the cutting line in the same vertical direction, and that the .
2}7~
o cutting lines between the strips in a second picture form-in group for the obtaining of the same picture all at their ends in the marginal portions join openings pointing away from the cutting line in a direction opposite to the direction of the first mentioned openings.
The simultaneously displaceable strips in each group are made by simple punching in a sheet, e.g. a sheet showing a complete picture, and the displacement of a group of strips is simply effectuated by displacement of the 0 sheet of which they form part, by means of guide means engaging the marginal portions of the sheets. The cassette that consists of flat sheets lying upon one another, has a small thickness compared to the number of different plot-uses that can be shown, and because the openings in the S sheets two be moved when showing a picture are pointing in opposite directions, it has become possible to show for nuance 6 diffe~er.t pictures successively.
As the strips in two groups or two sheets can be - mutt displaced o'er the entire strip height, a pro-furred embodiment of the invention is characteristic in that the strips in those groups that together are forming 2 Colette picture are arranged in only two sheets, each of - which is carrying a complete puke e on the group of picture carrying strips formed in the sheet.

The invention is explained in greater detail in the phyla nag with reverence to the drawing where Figure l shows a first front sheet in an embodiment of the cassette according to the invention, Figure 2 shows a partial picture of a second front sheet in the same cassette, Figure 3 and 4 in plane view and in a vertical section respectively, the two front sheets shown in their relative positions in a display apparatus, Figure 5 a front view of a part of the cassette in which the rear most of two cooperating picture sheets has been displaced so upwardly that a display zone on each strip has become visible, Figure 6 a partial picture illustrating the positions of the individual strips in the cassette in the condition shown in Figure 5, ~L2Z~8~9 Figure 7 a pat of the cassette in which the fore-most picture sheet cooperating with the picture sheet in Figure 5 has been moved upwards in such manner that the disk play zones of the strips have become visible and are come pleating the display zones on the picture sheet shown in Figure S, and Figure 8 a partial picture illustrating the no-native positions of the strips in the situation shown in Figure 7.
Thea embodiment to be described of the cassette according to the invention, has a front sheet l which by a plurality of cutting lines 3 has been divided in picture-less strips lo forming a group. At each end of the cutting lines 3 an opening 4 has been punched out, forming an isoscele triangle extending upwardly from the cutting line.
As appears from Figures 6 and 8 a number of picture carrying sheets two sheets in the case shown) have been arranged - behind the front sheet, said sheets being provided with strips lb, to which in their initial position are lying directly behind the strips lay These sheets are punched out in the same manner as the front sheet l in Figure lo Behind this first-mentioned set of sheets a second set of sheets is located, the sheets having punched cutting lines 3 and triangular openings 5 extending downwards from 25 the corresponding cutting line 3 as shown in Figure 2. Be- -hind the front sheet 2 is a picture carrying sheet having strips 2b constituting a picture similar to the one formed by the strips lb in the first picture carrying sheet of the first set, and rear most is a second picture carrying sheet with strips 2c carrying a picture which is identical with the picture formed by the strips to in the last sheet of the first set.
The cassette is placed in a display apparatus not shown, having holding and guiding means engaging the margin-at portions of the sheets and holding the front sheets l and 2 aligned in -their positions shown in Figures 3 and 4, while the strips lb and to, not Sheehan, in Figure 4 are extending analogous with the strips lo to the right thereof, and the strips 2b and 2c, not shown, are extending analogous with the strips 2c and are lying between the strips lo and pa in Figure 4. The holding and guiding means can move the picture carrying sheets with the strips lb/ to, 2b, 2c in-dividually in vertical direction. The guiding means are actuated by a motor and programmed to move in such manner that after a picture-less screen formed by the strips pa, successively after each other follow a picture constituted lo by the strips lb and 2b and then a picture constituted by the strips to and 2c, possibly with a picture-less screen between each picture. For the sake of simplicity it is here shown and described only how two pictures are alternating but it will be understood that several pictures, e.g. six pictures, can be successively displayed, in which case a corresponding number of picture carrying sheets with piles of strips lying upon each other are provided. If desired, a cassette can also comprise more than two picture carrying sheets having cooperating identical pictures, each of which is divided in a group of strips.

The guiding means in the displaying apparatus are advantageously provided with finlike members adapted to engage corresponding apertures 6 (Figure 2) in the marginal portions of the sheets in order to ensure correct locating of the sheets in the apparatus. The marginal portions of the sheets could also be provided with clips or projecting lugs cooperating with gripping members on the guiding means.
When a picture corresponding to the one constituted by the strips lb and the strips 2b respectively, is to be displayed, the sheets are moving in the following manner:
By an upward pull in the first picture carrying sheet in the second set of sheets the strips 2b are moved up beyond the upper edges of the strips lo in the first front sheet, so that visible display zones with the picture ~2~9 I

It will be obvious that the openings 4, 5, which behind the first set of sheets extend upwards from the cut-in lines 3 and in the second set of sheets extend downwards from the cutting lines 3, may have other shapes than that shown, of an isosceles triangle. Further, it will be obvious that the openings in the foremost set of sheets might point downwards from the cutting lines and in the rearms set of sheets might point upwards from the cutting lines, whereby the strips in the rear most set of sheets will extend down-warmly, and the displacement of the picture carrying sheets will be carried out in a downward direction. However, when a picture is illuminated by light from above, which most frequently will be the case, it is preferable that the cassette is constructed as shown in the drawings, because shadows from the free horizontal edges of the strips hereby may be avoided.
Fort, if desired, the sheets may be placed in an arbitrary oblique position or lying horizontally or with both side edges horizontally, but in the same vertical or slanting plane and with the vertical or slanting strips being illuminated from one side.
It will be understood that by the invention a flat cassette has been provided, in which the sheets can be moved ``-` 12Z~
