Arrangement for presenting a decorative picture

Abstract

The invention relates to an arrangement for presenting a decorative picture, for example a painting, mounted on a rotating base ( 2 ) which rotation axis ( 3 ) is perpendicular and centered relative to the surface of the picture, with one or more rotating flaps ( 4 ) attached to the surface of the picture and which rotation axis ( 5 ) are perpendicular but off-centered relative to the surface of the picture ( 1 ) and to the surface of the flaps ( 4 ), with the said rotating flaps ( 4 ) hiding different parts of the picture depending on the relative position of the flaps and the picture to create visual effects, wherein the rotation ( 6 ) of the picture is either manual or commanded and the rotation of the rotating flaps ( 4 ) is only the result of the gravity.

1 . Arrangement for presenting a decorative picture, in particular a painting, comprising: 
 a rotating base picture ( 1 ) mounted on a rotating base ( 2 ) which rotation axis ( 3 ) is preferably perpendicular and preferably centered relative to the surface of the rotating base picture ( 1 ),    characterized in that the arrangement comprises:    one or more rotating flaps ( 4 ) attached to the surface of the rotating base picture ( 1 ) and which rotation axis ( 5 ) are preferably perpendicular but off-centered relative to the surface of the base rotating picture ( 1 ) and to the surface of the rotating flaps ( 4 ), said flaps ( 4 ) are able to hide different parts of the rotating base picture depending on the relative position of the rotating flaps ( 4 ) and the rotating base picture ( 1 ) to create visual effects.    
   
   
       2 . Arrangement according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the rotating flaps ( 4 ) are able to rotate freely around the axis ( 5 ) as a result of the gravity.  
   
   
       3 . Arrangement according to  claim 1  or  2 , characterized in that the rotating base picture ( 1 ) is turning freely on 360° and has means for staying in some preferential positions, e.g. two or four, for ensuring the leveled position of the rotating base picture ( 1 ).  
   
   
       4 . Arrangement according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the rotation ( 6 ) of the rotating base picture ( 1 ) is either manual or commanded.  
   
   
       5 . Arrangement according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the rotation of the rotating base picture ( 1 ) is commanded by an automatic system comprising, for example, a light sensor, a presence sensor, a temperature sensor, a clock, a calculator, a driving motor for the rotating base picture and activation means for the motor.  
   
   
       6 . Arrangement according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least part of the rotating flaps ( 4 ) comprise a picture such as a painting and play a role in the visual aspect of the picture.  
   
   
       7 . Arrangement according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least part of the rotating flaps ( 4 ) are translucent or transparent and preferably colored.  
   
   
       8 . Arrangement according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the rotating flaps ( 4 ) are continuous objects, without holes and of any shape.  
   
   
       9 . Arrangement according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the rotating base picture ( 1 ) has, on its backside some pads ( 8 ) for making the rotation easier and avoid to scratch a wall ( 7 ).  
   
   
       10 . Arrangement according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the rotating base picture ( 1 ) is covered by a protection coating or a protection layer, specially in the zone where the rotating flaps ( 4 ) are turning, to avoid that the repetitive rotations of the flaps ( 4 ) would scratch the picture.
