Patent number: 8376581Abstract: A large size display is transportable, being construed of multiple rigid segments containing light emitting diodes (LED's). The rigid segments are linked by hinges or cables so the display is flexible and can be rolled up for storage and transport. The display can be unrolled upward or downwards such as from a protective container, such as a canister or truss. The weight of the display on the linked hinges or the tensioned cables provides sufficient rigidity. Such cables, like a signal and power distribution bus, are connected to the rear of each rigid element. The display can be repaired by removing and replacing selected rigid segments from the front thereof.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2009Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: PIX2O CorporationInventors: Lynton W Auld, Leo Stearns, Darin Parnell Smedberg, Matthew Kengi Meeker

Patent number: 8272659Abstract: A bicycle frame for employment in a bicycle for riding by a user in a substantially vertical as-used position. The frame has a shape which defines an aperture within the interior surface of a surrounding frame. The frame is preferably formed of planar material which has ends which do not block the view into the aperture when the bicycle is ridden. Whereby space for indicia on an inserted vertically disposed planar member is maximized. The planar member has a perimeter defining a shape that is complimentary to the shape of the aperture and when engaged therein provides support to the frame to prevent deformation thereof when in the as-used position under a load. The indicia positioned on the planar member may be advertising which can easily be changed using removable planar members with different indicia.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2011Date of Patent: September 25, 2012Inventor: Jeffrey Owen Meredith

Publication number: 20070137078Abstract: The apparatus of the present invention is a customized non-rotatable decorative displaying image mechanism wheel assembly. The wheel assembly comprises a wheel mount supportable by of the wheel of a vehicle. A protective cover is affixed to the wheel mount to form a housing with an interior cavity therein. The display holder can be transparent or translucent with any image, logo, emblem, insignia or hologram covering affixed thereto. A display holder and member is positioned behind the protective covering within the cavity of the housing. The display holder is bolted with predefined weighted members and ball bearings such that the display holder and member remain stationary during within the interior cavity as the vehicle's wheel turns. Alternatively, predefined weighted members may not be used for certain design, since shaft members may stabilize image. The display member can be illuminated by a light source which is powered by an electromechanical power source utilizing the Faraday Effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2005Publication date: June 21, 2007Inventors: Ronald Sinette, Patrick Massie
