US Patent 9972227 Wind-driven display device

A wind-driven spinner is provided. The wind-driven spinner embodies a rotatable display that enables customizable, holographic effects to capture the eye, while also providing adjustable stability and wind capturing controls. The wind-driven spinner may include a plurality of panel assemblies rotatably mounted to an axis shaft by means of two hub bearings. Each panel assembly may be paraboloid shaped so as to provide a leading edge and a trailing edge. Relative to the axis shaft, the leading edge of each panel assembly has a radial outer diameter greater than the radial outer diameter of its trailing edge and an adjacent panel assembly so as to provide at least one, adjustable wind-driven capture profile. Each panel assembly may include a customizable design sheet for providing graphic display area and holographic fabric.
