ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a process for attaching posters or related items onto an illuminated carrier film of translucent material, which runs from one reel to another and back again. In this process the individual poster is flexibly secured to the carrier film at its extending edges, perpendicular to the roller direction of the carrier film, and the edges of two adjacent posters are positioned in pockets. The pockets are formed by tongues of a translucent guide, secured in fixed position to the carrier film.
With the related process described in EP 0 333 820 B, individual adjacent posters mounted on the carrier film alternate, and a vertical light beam in the visual range of the graphics occurs between two adjacent posters on the carrier film. In some circumstances, the fluorescent tubes behind the transparent carrier film are visible; this can be distracting to those facing the advertising posters.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
One of the objects of the present invention is a process related to the above-mentioned technology but which totally eliminates such light beams between adjacent posters.
In accordance with the present invention, the side edge of one poster is inserted into a pocket bordered by the carrier film and a first tongue, and a second poster is inserted into a second pocket bordered by the first tongue and a second tongue attached to the first one. This allows the edges of the posters to overlap one another in the pockets. The second pocket is situated in front of the first one.
With this arrangement, occurrence of a light beam in the graphic's visual range during review of a series of posters is eliminated. This makes it possible that with overlapping posters there would not only be no light beams with regard to the posters, but there would even be a darker stripe between adjacent Posters. Observers would not find this distracting. The overlapping areas can be printed in such a way that no light penetration occurs.
