Abstract

A display device for advertising messages comprises a mirror of the type known as a see-through mirror, behind which a message to be displayed is placed on a suitable support. A plurality of light fittings are placed behind the message which light up sporadically under the control of an electronic controller, at which time the message becomes visible through the see-through mirror.

Claims

1. Device for displaying messages sporadically on a mirrored surface, characterised in that the message (4) is placed between a see-through mirror (2) that constitutes the mirrored surface and a plurality of light fittings (9) that can be turned on by the action of an electronic controller (11);

such that when the light fittings (9) are turned off the see-through mirror (2) presents a reflecting surface while when the light fittings (9) are turned on the see-through mirror (2) loses its reflecting properties, revealing the message (4) through it.

2. Device for displaying messages sporadically on a mirrored surface according to claim 1, characterised in that the see-through mirror (2) is placed in an outer frame (1) that can be immobilised by a lock (3) with respect to a box (8) that contains the light fittings (9) and the electronic controller (11).

3. Device for displaying messages sporadically on a mirrored surface according to claim 2, characterised in that the message (4) is placed on the translucent central part (6) of an opaque frame (7) by the attachments (5).

4. Device for displaying messages sporadically on a mirrored surface according to claim 3, characterised in that the attachments (5) are constituted by metallic clips.
