Abstract (en)
A rotary display apparatus of the kind having a set of parallel rotatable vanes (20), each of equilateral triangle cross-section, providing three display surfaces, has each vane supported in a fixed bearing (40) at one end and in a bearing (42) at the other formed in a resilient spring finger (44, 144). Each vane is hollow and provided with a bearing member (26), all the bearing members are identical. Each spring finger (144) is mounted to have its free end facing the direction the vane is inserted in the apparatus and the free end is provided with a chamfered camming surface (210) to ease insertion, the associated vane bearing (26) acting against resilience of the finger (144). A cam drive arrangement (50) for the set of vanes (20) has a respective cam (70) mounted on a common drive shaft to act directly on an end portion (52) of the vane. A bidirectionally rotatable cam is disclosed. <IMAGE>
