Abstract
506,848. Changing signs. GENERAL ANIMATED SIGNS, Ltd. Jan. 31, 1938, No. 3011. Convention date, Feb. 12, 1937. Drawings to Specification. [Class 3(i)] In signs illuminated alternately by two differently coloured beams of tight, or continuously by one colour and intermittently by the other, the display comprises a background in a neutral colour, and indicia part of which is in a different neutral colour and part in a colour mainty pure. The alternating illumination gives an animated effect to the pure coloured portion, while having less effect on the neutral portions either because, they are made up of a mixture of colours, or because they have a high reflective value. The speed of alternation is chosen from a range of one to twenty changes per second, according to the nature of the design depicted by the sign. Red is given as an example of the animated colour, and white, black, light grey, dark grey, light brown, dark brown, dark blue. dark green, yellow and orange as examples of neutral colours. The light beams may be produced by switching lamps in and out, or by rotating cotour filters, in front of a lamp.
