  • Patent number: 6201525
    Abstract: A programmable, moving display to be worn on a lapel or shirt pocket for promotional message reinforcement. The display includes a wearable display portion with a clip for attachment to a shirt pocket or coat lapel. A concealable battery portion is preferably connected to the display portion via an unobtrusive thin cable. Moving alphanumeric messages are programmed by manipulation of five buttons, allowing a user to scroll forward through an alphanumeric character table, scroll backward through that table, enter a chosen character at a display position and subsequently advance to a neighboring display position, delete characters, and modify the rate at which the characters are scrolled across the display. The messages can also be programmed externally using a personal computer connected to a data input port on the display portion.
