Abstract: Sign mounting and tensioning apparatus, method and system for beadles signs comprises fired and floating rails adapted to removal y receive and hold elongated locks having sign edges wrapped around non-rotating inserts, and tensioning means for tensioning signs locked in the rails, which tensioning means may be a series of short levering mechanisms spaced along and connectable to the floating rails.

Abstract: A framing system for mounting flexible or bendable signs to side panels (20) of cargo vans without piercing the panels includes framing members (2) with open U-shaped channels (10) adhesively applied to panels and cover members (6) pressingly engageable in said channels to hold signs (30) within a frame defined by the framing members.

Abstract: An attachment and tensioning system for a planar structure, including a flexible structure, for use with a sign, awning, mural, painting canvas, or roll-up door. One variation includes a first fixed portion for attaching one edge of the structure, such as via an opening for receiving a beaded or otherwise lockable structure edge, a moveable portion attachable to a second structure edge, and a tensioning device coupleable to the moveable portion and a second fixed portion. In one variation, the tensioning device attaches to and tensions the planar structure via levering. In another variation, the planar structure includes pairs of opposite edges, the first fixed portion and the moveable portion being located on an opposing pair of edges, and a second fixed portion and second moveable portion being located on another opposing pair of edges. Another variation includes two fixed attachment sections, and the planar structure has a stretchable section.
