[0001] The invention refers to a new visual perception system realizing an industrial advancement
in the advertisement field of the stamping of marks or other commercial appliances
to be placed both on saddle-mounted motor vehicles and on the clothing and accessories
of the riders. Said system permits to have a full field of vision using jointly the
parts of the vehicle and of the rider to constitute a full plane support for the mark
stampings to be stamped on them. This because the stamping (mark or other advertising
appliance) is deformed in such a way to adapt it to different supporting surfaces
(motor vehicle, rider clothing and relative accessories) so to give a correct visual
perception of the same from a perspective and full sight point of view. Another feature
of the invention is that, as the stamping is placed on two sectors of the fixed part,
i.e. the vehicle body, with in the middle a mobile part sector, formed by the rider
and relative accessories, the rider movement during the motor-vehicle run causes the
shift of the stamping support surfaces, where said movement arranges and disarranges
the image sight continuously through a process which allows to see said image always
in a correct way. The above stated phenomenology -which takes place in the middle
part of the stamping- determines a full-sight dynamical perception of the same image.
Thus, a blown-up three-dimensional display of the stamping can be observed by onlookers
as if it was set up on a plane moving show and the onlooker demonic perception of
the advertisement message remains vivid, relevant and time-lasting. The invented system
is to be applied to sports and hobbies motor-vehicles, such as racing motor-cycles,
touring motor-cycles, cross-country motor-cycles, mopeds, sidecars, water motor-cycles,
go-kart and all types of saddle-mounted vehicles. The patent motivation is to be seen
in the fact that the present technology, considering the rider's body like a breaking
of full image visual field, determines the division of said field so permitting the
stamping of the marks, or other similar ones, only in a separate way onto the three
different parts of the vehicle; for this reason only small size stampings can be used,
which are seen by the onlooker only like a whole fixed image inside a moving unity
formed by the rider and by the motor-cycle, while the said marks come to form only
secondary image references. The invented system considers the motor-vehicle and the
rider as a whole, thus determining an only exhibition space where the vehicle mechanical
parts, the vehicle body and the clothing and accessories of the rider come to be used
as a support on which the stamping is to be placed. While, with the vehicle without
the rider, the stamping can be seen all the way in the same zone by substituting the
image of the mobile part sector (the rider) with another one printed on the fixed
part of the zone covered by the rider when in a driving position. The present system
features a full image field formed by two fixed part sectors, a back sector 1 and
a front sector 2, separated by a mobile part sector 3 formed by one or more elements
corresponding to the rider clothing and various riding accessories. As the said mobile
part sector 3 is in the middle of the image, it gives a whole dynamic effect to the
whole stamping thus creating a macroscopic, dynamical, three-dimensional sight perception.
In order to provide a correct sight view of the mark stamping or of any other advertisement
appliance the invented system avails itself: 1) of a scanner to receive three-dimensional
data or the optical sensing of the existing models through which the three-dimensional
coordinates- that make part of the physical model- are obtanined, i.e. the motorcycle
and the rider dimensions; 2) subsequently, the three-dimensional data at disposal
as well as the mark stamping data, i.e. all the necessary information about the mark
or the image to be stamped on, its size and the place where to put it, are entered
in a computer with a special software; 3) the above stated data are processed to obtain
a complete image of the deformed stamping as the said image gets the characteristics
of the data base (motorcycle + rider) or surface to be covered. Subsequently, the
image thus obtained is applied in the curved surface without its sight perception
getting altered. An innovative feature of the invented system is the fact that the
rider makes part of a three-dimensional advertisement jigsaw puzzle in full swing.
A special appliance of this system allows the fit one or more stampings, even of several
manufacturers, to all types of saddle-mounted motor-vehicles and relative riders,
or to any other appliance, as the said stampings can be stamped considering void spaces
as full spaces and all the vehicle parts as forming an only surface on which the images
to be advertised are projected. In order to allow a correct sight perception with
a virtual image of the real deformed image, the present system in the case of the
vehicle without the rider features , in the vehicle zone where the rider sits, as
a substitution of the stamping portion of lacking mobile sector 3, another stamping
sector 4 deformed according to the surface on which it must be stamped. An embodiment
of the invented system is illustrated by way of example in the drawings of sheets
1 and 2. In sheet 1 fig. 1 is a view of the racing motor-cycle with the rider having
a mark stamping in full view as seen by a hypothetical onlooker. In sheet 2 fig. 1
is a view of the only motor-cycle as it appears in figure 1 to ally the sight of the
mark even without the rider. Fig. 3 is a view of the only rider when driving with
the relative mark advertising portion on him. When making in use the above state system,
the advertisement message can be placed even on an only fixed part sector 1 or 2 and
on the mobile part sector 3 for all the possible views available, i.e. side-view,
back-view, front-view, middle-view and top-view. All the above stated views can be
easily perceived by the onlookers during the races. When put into effect, this system
may feature other means to obtain a correct virtual image according to the latest
technology currently in use, as well as all stamping means to means marks on motor-vehicles.
