Revolving Ticket Display

Abstract

An apparatus and method for displaying lottery tickets consisting of a housing, rotatably installed display arms, a single motor able to synchronously rotation all the display arms and tension holders that allow for a multitude of tickets to exert tension on the tension holders thereby securing the position of the tickets.

1 . A rotating ticket display comprising:
 a. a housing with an at least one transparent panel;   b. an plurality of display arms rotatably mounted inside said housing;
 wherein the said plurality of display arms each contain an at least two tension holders spaced less than the a longest length of a display ticket; and 
   c. a single motor means for synchronously rotating said plurality of display arms.   
     
     
         2 . The rotating ticket display of  claim 1  wherein the said plurality of display arms include a plurality of driving gears and a plurality of free spinning hub plate wherein all the said plurality of driving gears are rigidly connected to each other and wherein only one driving gear is connected to the said motor. 
     
     
         3 . The rotating ticket display of  claim 2  wherein the said plurality of display arms contain index tabs. 
     
     
         4 . The rotating ticket display of  claim 3  wherein the said plurality of display arms are flat whereby producing two display surfaces per said display arm and require the said motor to synchronously rotate the said driving gears in 180 degree intervals. 
     
     
         5 . The rotating ticket display of  claim 3  wherein the said plurality of display arms are prism shaped whereby producing three display surfaces per said display arm and require the said motor to synchronously rotate the said driving gears in 120 degree intervals. 
     
     
         6 . The rotating ticket display of  claim 3  wherein the said housing and the said plurality of display arms are made of a plastic material. 
     
     
         7 . The rotating ticket display of  claim 1  wherein the said tension holders consist of rods of equal length with the said plurality of display arms. 
     
     
         8 . The rotating ticket display of  claim 1  wherein the said motor deactivates when the front or back panel of the said housing is opened. 
     
     
         9 . The rotating ticket display of  claim 1  wherein the said motor has a time delay switch with multiple time settings to synchronously rotate said plurality of display arms automatically. 
     
     
         10 . The rotating ticket display of  claim 1  where in the housing is shaped to sit on top of a counter. 
     
     
         11 . The rotating ticket display of  claim 1  wherein the housing is shaped to be installed inside a counter. 
     
     
         12 . The rotating ticket display of  claim 1  where in the housing is mountable to a wall. 
     
     
         13 . The method of displaying multiple lottery tickets consisting of:
 a. Providing a housing with an at least one transparent panel and a motor consisting of a time delay switch, battery, power converter and power interrupter switch;   b. rotatably mounting a plurality of display arms with a driving gear and a free spinning hub plate inside of the said housing wherein the said display arms are parallel of each other, the said driving gears are rigidly connected to each other and the said display arms each contain an at least two tension holders wherein the distance between the tension holder is less than the length of the plurality of lottery tickets;   c. placing a plurality of lottery tickets between the said at least two tension holders wherein the said lottery ticket forms a curvilinear shape that provides constant tension towards the said tension holders thus holding the said plurality of lottery tickets in place;   d. connecting the motor to a gap gear wherein the motor can rotate the gap gear which then synchronously rotates all the driving gears whereby displaying all sides of the said display arms to allow said plurality of lottery tickets to be visible in a set time interval.   
     
     
         14 . The method of displaying multiple lottery tickets in  claim 13  wherein the said set time intervals can be adjusted via the said time delay switch. 
     
     
         15 . The method of displaying multiple lottery tickets in  claim 13  where in the said housing is shaped to sit on top of a counter. 
     
     
         16 . The method of displaying multiple lottery tickets in  claim 13  wherein the said housing is shaped to be used as an in counter display. 
     
     
         17 . The method of displaying multiple lottery tickets in  claim 13  wherein the said housing is mountable to a wall. 
     
     
         18 . The method of displaying multiple lottery tickets in  claim 13  wherein the said housing and display are made entirely of a plastic material. 
     
     
         19 . The method of displaying multiple lottery tickets in  claim 13  wherein the said plurality of display arms contain a flat, two surfaced display and is rotated in 180 degree intervals. 
     
     
         20 . The method of displaying multiple lotteries tickets in  claim 13  wherein the said plurality of display arms are prism shaped with three display surfaces and is rotated in 120 degree intervals.
