Abstract:
A device including a first clip portion including a bottom section having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, a first leg section extending from the first end of the bottom section, a second leg section extending from the second end of the bottom section, and a pole adaptor attachment portion; an arm projecting away from the first leg section; and a light string attachment portion located on the first leg section, the light string attachment portion including a substantially C-shaped clip defined by the arm, the first leg section, and the pole adaptor attachment portion.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a panel support including a block and a slide. The block has an aperture therein into which the slide can be inserted and the slide has a flange at or adjacent its distal end. A locking unit is provided actuable to substantially lock the slide in a desired position relative to the block so as to clamp a planar member between the slide and the block. Also described is a mounting system utilizing a plurality of panel supports carrying a planar member.
Abstract:
A sign holder system having a back plate and a front plate. The back plate is mountable to a wall surface, and the front plate is removably secured to the back plate. The front plate has a forward-facing surface for displaying indicia, such as a room number or a person's name. The back plate includes at least one recessed opening for receiving a clip attached to the back of the front plate. The recessed opening also includes a recessed pocket. The clip can be slid into the recessed pocket to secure the front plate to the back plate. The recessed pocket can have a ridge which engages with an elevated portion of the clip having similar or matching geometry. The ridge can have a wall that abuts the clip to lock the clip over the ridge. The back plate can additionally include a keyway for permitting a key to pass therethrough. The key has an end that, when inserted through the keyway, deflects the clip away from the ridge, thereby releasing the clip from the ridge and permitting the front plate to be released from the back plate.
Abstract:
A support system for tensioned fabric is provided comprising two or more elongated frame members, each having an outer surface with a plurality of spaced-apart, axially-extending recesses. At least one elongated clip is associated with each elongated frame member. Each clip has a first segment configured to be received in one of the axially-extending recesses of its associated elongated frame member and a second segment configured to hold an edge of the tensioned fabric. Each elongated clip is configured to be slidably received in its associated axially-extending recess in the frame member. To this end, the first segment of each elongated clip has a cross-sectional shape complementary to a cross-sectional shape of the axially-extending recesses. In another aspect, the second segment of each clip comprises at least one pair of first and second spaced apart planar portions defining a track or slot for receiving the edge of the tensioned fabric.
Abstract:
An improved system for simply assembling, installing, and customizing a signpost. In one exemplary embodiment, the assembled signpost may define a semi-modular post-with-arm structure configured to receive one or more signs via one or more attachment components. The attachment component(s) may be adjustably attached/positioned at any length along the extended arm component. Moreover, the extended arm component, and any signs engaged thereto, may be supported by the post component. Moreover, the post component, the extended arm component, and any signs engaged thereto, may be rigidly yet detachably engaged to a supporting substrate via an anchoring component. The anchoring component may be specifically designed to engage discreetly with the supporting substrate under cover of the post component. Moreover, the assembled signpost may comprise a decorative add-on sub-system intended to make the over-all system more aesthetically pleasing to the intended audience.
Abstract:
A method for making a modular realty signpost comprises providing a first vertical sign component made from extruded vinyl tubing and a second horizontal sign component made from extruded vinyl tubing, said horizontal component sized and designed to intersect and connect within the vertical component. The method makes angled cuts into one end of the vertical component and at least one end of the horizontal component, heats the angled cuts and then folds them together to form tapered tips to at least one end of said components.
Abstract:
An information display includes a plurality of panels and a plurality of corresponding pockets. The plurality of are planar panels. Adjacent panels are coupled to one another and oriented at angles relative to one another so as to define a self-supporting structure. Each pocket is associated with one of the panels. Each pocket includes a front side, top and bottom sides, a lateral closed side and a lateral open side, the front side parallel to the associated panel. The top and bottom sides are perpendicular to both the front side and the associated panel. The closed side and the open side are perpendicular to the front side and the panel.
Abstract:
A sign holder for use with a display has a plaque having a first surface and a second surface. A mounting bracket is coupled to the second surface. A first and a second support arm are pivotally coupled to the mounting bracket. A catch is coupled to the mounting bracket and is positioned intermediate the first and the second support arms. In some embodiments, the first and second support arms are pivotable between a first position in which the first and second support arms are substantially perpendicular to the second surface, and a second position in which the first and second support arms are substantially parallel to the second surface.
Abstract:
A method of advertising is disclosed. The method includes detachably coupling a first advertising article to a first mount coupled to an electronic visual display device located in a commercial establishment. When the first advertising article is detachably coupled to the electronic visual display device, the first advertising article is adjacent to the electronic visual display device.
Abstract:
A signage frame kit for a point of purchase interface, such as a speaker post, is provided. The signage frame kit includes frame elements that can be retrofitted to an existing point of purchase interface. The frame elements provide not only a means for attaching the frame to the point of purchase interface but also provide a means for receiving signage which can be prominently displayed at the point of purchase interface.
