Abstract: An improved corner guard assembly is provided for use in attaching suspension cords to the edgefold surface of a bonded nonwoven polyolefin film-fibril banner. The corner guard assembly comprises a pair of isosceles triangular plates, namely a front plate and a back plate. The two plates clamp a corner of the banner and are secured to each other by projections on the back plate which engage corresponding receptacles in the front plate. The projections have a generally tubular configuration in order to receive a detachably mounted locking peg for prohibiting relative movement of the projections in the receptacles. The improvement comprises mounting the locking pegs on the front plate so that they extend partly into the cavity defined by the receptacles. During use, the pegs can be driven into the projections without danger of bending or breaking.

Abstract: A banner including a bonded nonwoven polyolefin film-fibril sheet having front and back surfaces and having two side edges intersecting top and bottom edges to define four corners. The side edges are generally linear and are folded-over onto the back surface of the sheet and secured with double-faced adhesive tape to form a laminated edgefold with the double-faced adhesive tape sandwiched between two layers of the sheet. The front surface of the sheet has at least a first coating of surface-sealing polymer and means are provided adjacent each corner for attaching cords to the edgefold for hanging the banner.
