Patent number: 5555659Abstract: A banner display comprising a flexible, stretchable banner, a fixed mounting bracket and a hinged mounting bracket. Rigid support tubes are inserted in hems formed at the ends of the banner. The rigid support tubes are attached to mounting rods in the fixed and hinged mounting brackets. The hinged mounting bracket includes a spring mechanism which tensions the banner as the hinged mounting bracket is closed. To mount the banner, the banner is first attached to the fixed mounting bracket. The other end is attached to the hinged mounting bracket which is in the open position. As the hinged mounting bracket is closed, the banner becomes taut. The spring mechanism maintains tension in the banner when the hinged bracket is closed. As the hinged mounting bracket is closed, the mechanical advantage increases allowing the banner to be mounted without additional tools or manpower.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 1994Date of Patent: September 17, 1996Assignee: Dinaco, Inc.Inventor: Conrad Hade

Patent number: 4262439Abstract: A free-standing display system comprising a base, an upright post supported from the base and a plurality of shelves mounted on the post, is described. Each of the shelves has an opening dimensioned and shaped to fit freely around the post. The shelves are securely mounted on the post at desired height by means of wedges releasably held on the post by lugs which engage corresponding holes in the post. With the wedges in place, the shelf is moved downwardly around the post until the walls of the shelf opening, which are inclined to match the wedging surface of the wedges, snugly engage the wedging surfaces. Differently shaped and dimensioned shelves may be employed in the system and the shelf opening may be at the shelf centers or adjacent an edge. No tools are required to assemble or disassemble the shelves to the post. A header may be fastened to the upper end of the post, after the desired number of shelves are in place, to carry product identifying indicia or an advertising message.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 1979Date of Patent: April 21, 1981Assignee: Dinaco, Inc.Inventors: James M.
