Time and temperature display sign

Claim 1

A TIME AND TEMPERATURE DISPLAY SIGN COMPRISING A DISPLAY PANEL HAVING A PLURALITY OF NEON STRIPS EACH BEING CONNECTED TO A SEPARATE ENERGIZING TRANSFORMER, SAID TRANSFORMERS BEING CONNECTED TO A PLURALITY OF SEPARATE ENERGIZING CIRCUITS FOR ENERGIZATION IN VARIOUS COMBINATIONS TO PROVIDE A VISUAL DISPLAY OF TIME AND TEMPERATURE INCLUDING A PLURALITY OF UNI-DIRECTIONAL ROTARY STEPPING SWITCHES OPERABLE FOR SELECTIVELY ENERGIZING SAID TRANSFORMERS TO DISPLAY A VISUAL INDICATION OF TIME, A PLURALITY OF BI-DIRECTIONAL ROTARY STEPPING SWITCHES OPERABLE FOR SELECTIVELY ENERGIZING SAID TRANSFORMERS TO DISPLAY A VISUAL INDICATION OF TEMPERATURE, TRANSFER SWITCHING MEANS FOR ALTERNATELY INTERCONNECTING SAID UNI-DIRECTIONAL ROTARY STEPPING SWITCHES AND SAID BI-DIRECTIONAL ROTARY STEPPING SWITCHES TO SAID TRANSFORMERS, A POWER SOURCE, A CLOCK MECHANISM CONNECTED TO SAID POWER SOURCE INCLUDING A MOTOR DRIVEN DAM AND A SWITCH ARRANGED FOR ACTUATION BY SAID CAM IN A PREDETERMINED TIMING SEQUENCE, MEANS CONNECTING SAID UNI-DIRECTIONAL ROTARY STEPPING SWITCH TO SAID LOWER SOURCE WHEREBY ACTUATION OF SAID SWITCH ESTABLISHES A SIGNAL WITH RESPECT TO TIME FOR SETTING SAID UNI-DIRECTIONAL ROTARY STEPPING SWITCHES, TEMPERATURE SENSING MEANS CONNECTED TO SAID BI-DIRECTIONAL ROTARY STEPPING SWITCHES FOR SETTING SAID BI-DIRECTIONAL ROTARY STEPPING SWITCHES WITH RESPECT TO TEMPERATURE INCLUDING A TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE ELEMENT FOR MEASURING TEMPERATURE, A MAGNETIC ELEMENT CONNECTED TO SAID TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE ELEMENT AND MOUNTED FOR MOVEMENT IN RESPONSE TO CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE, A PAIR OF MAGNETICALLY ACTUABLE SWITCHES MOVABLY SUPPORTED ADJACENT SAID MAGNETIC ELEMENT AND ACTUABLE IN RESPONSE TO MOVEMENT OF SAID MAGNETIC ELEMENT, RELAY MEANS SERIALLY CONNECTED IN CIRCUIT WITH SAID SWITCH MEANS FOR ENERGIZATION IN RESPONSE TO ACTUATION OF ONE OF SAID PAIR OF SWITCHES AND A STEPPING MOTOR ARRANGED TO BE ENERGIZED UPON ACTUATION OF SAID MOTOR DRIVEN CAM TO POSITION SAID PAIR OF SWITCHES SUCH THAT SAID MAGNETIC ELEMENT IS DISPOSED BETWEEN SAID PAIR OF SWITCHES IN A NEUTRAL POSITION, AND MEANS CONNECTING SAID TRANSFER SWITCHING MEANS TO SAID POWER SOURCE INCLUDING A CHANGE-OVER SWITCH ARRANGED TO BE ACTUATED BY SAID MOTOR DRIVEN CAM FOR ESTABLISHING A PREDETERMINED TIMING SEQUENCE OF INTERCONNECTION OF SAID UNIDIRECTIONAL ROTARY STEPPING SWITCHES AND SAID BI-DIRECTIONAL ROTARY STEPPING SWITCHES.
