Abstract: The present invention is directed to a vehicle mountable display device. The device includes a first adversarial profile and a second adversarial profile. Between the first adversarial profile and the second adversarial profile is a first extension, which is part of or attached to the first adversarial profile. The first extension is made of a flexible material and/or pivotably or flexibly connected to the first adversarial profile such that while driving the extension can move back and forth in the appearance of slapping or hitting the second adversarial profile. The first adversarial profile is preferably a user's preferred choice and the second adversarial profile is preferably a rival or challenger, thereby effectively communicating a user's preferred choice, while also communicating the adversarial nature between the two with minimal or no words. The device further includes a mounting element for securely attaching to the vehicle.

Abstract: Herein disclosed is a display apparatus, to be mounted on an automotive vehicle, comprising: display means (4) for displaying images; supporting means (3) for linearly or pivotably supporting the display means (4); and controlling means (2) for controlling the supporting means (3) to have the display means (4) linearly or pivotably moved to ensure the display means 4 being in face to face relationship with the eyes of the passenger.

Abstract: A two-dimensional figure display device supports an animal or figure silhouette with loose appendages, such as a dog's ears and tongue, on the exterior of a vehicle rear window. The image of the figure to be simulated is formed on a stiffening support. The support has an upwardly extending clip which engages between the window and the window frame of the moving vehicle, a two part hook and loop fastener secures the lower portion of the support to the window. Loose flaps of material attached to the support are acted upon by the wind as the vehicle travels, simulating movement of the depicted figure.

Abstract: A display panel includes a casing, a number of parallel display elements rotatably mounted within the casing, a mass that can move within the casing, and a mechanism with which the mass interacts to affect rotation of the display elements. A base attaches the display panel to a motor vehicle dashboard for observation by passengers, such that upon acceleration and deceleration of the motor vehicle, the mass moves to affect periodic display changes.

Abstract: A two-dimensional figure display device supports an animal or figure silhouette with loose appendages, such as a dog's ears and tongue, on the exterior of a vehicle rear window. The image of the figure to be simulated is formed on a multi-layered element which is attached to a stiffening support. The support has frontwardly and upwardly extending clips which engage between the window and the window frame of the moving vehicle. Loose flaps of material on the multi-layered element are acted upon by the wind as the vehicle travels, simulating the movement of the depicted figure.

Abstract: Transducer apparatus (10) responsive to external perturbations is disclosed having an electrically responsive transducer circuit (12) energized when a display member (18) and an elongate member (20) move from a gravity determined quiescent orientation (20A) therebetween to an external perturbation driven active orientation (20B) therebetween. In various embodiments, the members are respectively responsive to air movement and acceleration. In one embodiment, the elongate member carries a first electrical contact (21) to abut a second electrical contact (22) carried by the display member. When the apparatus is to be in use with a motor vehicle, the apparatus is desirable to be powered by the cigarette lighter of the vehicle and a light sensor is added to switch on the apparatus during night time.

Abstract: A motion sensitive animated advertising device for mounting to a moving vehicle. The present invention comprises at least one moving element having two stable positions wherein the movement of the vehicle causes the element to shift from one stable position to the other stable position.

Abstract: A new design of picture frame that levitates and rotates in the air without mechanical support is described. A permanent magnet (5) is mounted on the top of the picture frame (2) such that the center of the magnet coincides with a vertical axis through the center of gravity of the picture frame. The picture frame is positioned below and within an outer fixed framework (1). An electro-magnet (3) is mounted on the top of the fixed framework such that the center of the electro-magnet (3) coincides with the said vertical axis. An additional set of electro-magnet on the fixed framework (8, 10) and permanent magnet on the picture frame (6, 10) are employed for nearly periodic rotation of the picture frame.

Abstract: A brooch including a support fixed in a housing, two flaps pivotally coupled to the support, a rod fixed in the housing, a board fixed on the rod, two rotary members pivotally coupled to the board, and a shaft rotatably engaged on the rod and having two cams engaged with the flaps and the rotary members so as to rotate the flaps and the rotary members.

Abstract: A display device for automobiles and other vehicles alternately displays two different messages in an interesting manner calculated to attract attention. The device comprises an outer case having a plurality of spaced windows and, mounted within the case, a slide having a plurality of spaced indicia spelling out the two messages. Windows and indicia are positioned in such a manner that upon relative movement of slide and case, produced by inertial, centrifugal or gravitational forces generated by the vehicle movement, the slide alternates between two positions within the case, thereby alternately spelling out the two messages.

Abstract: An improved figure display for use in moving vehicles or on other moveable objects having an attachment means for resiliently mounting all portions of the figure display so that they oscillate in closely spaced vertical planes. The figure display includes a means, for controlling and coordinating oscillatory movements of the figure portions with respect to each other such that the animation effect is enchanced.
