Abstract: An emergency guidance and alerting system comprising an organizer located in a room having a door, wherein the organizer is capable of holding a slip sign and a window placard. The slip sign is capable of being placed under a door so that the slip sign can be viewed outside of the room, alerting rescue personnel that an occupant is in the room. The window placard is capable of being attached to a window alerting rescue personnel outside of the room that the occupant is in the room.

Abstract: A fire door installation auditing/verification system includes a label that is adhered to a fire door in use. The label has a first portion adhered to the fire door, and a second, removable, portion, said second, removable, portion carrying detailed installation instructions for the fire door. The second, removable, portion is attached to the first portion such that, when the second portion is removed during installation, the first portion of the label is retained adhered to the fire door and provides a visual indication, post installation, that the installer has removed the second portion carrying the detailed installation instructions.

Abstract: A safety sign for a shooting shed or building at a shotgun range is disclosed. The safety sign is mounted on the building and moveable between an exterior warning position wherein a warning sign is displayed and visible exterior of the building, warning shooters that it is not safe to shoot, and an interior warning position wherein the warning sign is visible inside the building and provides warning to occupants that it is not safe to exit the building. Preferably, the safety sign is mounted near the exit door of the building and partially obstructs the exit when in the interior warning position so as to provide further warning to occupants not to exit the building.

Abstract: A safety gate system having an electronic display for seamless integration into a barrier with electronic display capabilities. The safety gate system includes a post and a gate hinged to the post. The gate face and post carry electronic display modules which appear when the gate is closed, as continuous with and seamlessly integrated into the display of the barrier. Preferably, the hinges are four-bar hinges, most preferably two sets of paired four-bar hinges. The safety gate also includes a lower chase or sill which allows both signal wiring and power to pass under the gate. Braced rear legs compensate for the cantilever forces of the gates when open. A latch, preferably an electromagnetic latch, auto-releases in response to a pre-set sufficient force level, such as arising crowd surge forces, being applied to the gate, as well as being remotely releasable.

Abstract: A barrier for use in a barrier system is described. The barrier is movable to control access past the barrier, and said barrier comprises a media support means arranged to support a removable media to be displayed. The support means defines a media receiving path along which the media is movable to an inserted position in which the media is displayed.

Abstract: It is intended for being able to adapt advertising elements related to the doors in relation to their opening and closing, in such a way that normally, when the door is closed, the advertising is displayed in its entire extent, and when the door is open the advertising is hidden. It is characterized in that it includes means for linking the advertising elements to the door, in such a way that when the door is closed, the advertising is displayed in its entirety in correspondence with the front surface of the door, hiding the same, while when the door is open the advertising elements leave the space for the door free, with the advertising being normally hidden.

Abstract: A self-returning horizontal sign system mounts to an associated structure. The system sign includes an upper rail having front and rear, parallel, spaced apart tracks and a lower rail having front and rear, parallel, spaced apart tracks. A pair of panels extend between and span the upper and lower rails. Each panel has a carrier assembly mounted to an upper region thereof for cooperation with a respective front or rear track of the upper rail. The carrier assemblies have at least two rollers that are carried in the upper rail. The panels each move between an open position and a closed position. A closure formed as a pull box is associated each panel and includes a spool having a cable wrapped around it. The spool is rotatable to retract and extract the cable from about the spool. The closure includes a tension bias element operably connected to the spool to bias the spool to retract the cable.

Abstract: The display panel has an outer surface to which a sign may be attached and an inner surface having a fastener composed of resiliently deformable material. An end of the fastener is separated from the display panel by a slit which is adapted to receive an outer plate of a conventional door handle The outer plate is held in the slit by the resiliently deformable composition of the fastener. The plate may however be removed from the slit by the application of a force opposed to the bias of the resilient material in order to widen the slit.

Abstract: A system for mounting signage onto the door area of a vehicle is disclosed. The system includes a mounting assembly, a display pan, and one or more inserts removably received within the display pan. The fastener assembly permits the selective reorientation of the display pan from a first position, in which the pan is oriented along the rear face of the cargo area, to a second position, in which the display pan is oriented away from the rear face of the cargo area. The inserts may include an indicia panel, a backing panel, an electroluminescent panel, and/or a support or cushioning panel. In operation, the system is mounted onto the rear facing surface of a cargo vehicle containing overhead or swing-open doors.

Abstract: A sign for use with a restroom stall having a mounting plate that is detachably mounted to the inner surface of the bathroom stall. Connected to and extending from the mounting plate is a flexible or rigid cord. Connected to the opposite end of the flexible or rigid cord is a signage plate that is formed to fit between the spacing in the stall door and has a groove or notch that is formed to fit over the latch in the stall door.

Abstract: An advertising system and method in which an advertising mural is segmented and portions of the advertising mural are formed on each one of a plurality of laterally aligned overhead stowage bin doors in a commercial aircraft. Each segment of the advertising mural is formed on an independent, strippable laminate panel that is secured to its associated stowage bin door so as to be generally non-removable therefrom without the aide of a heat gun or like implement. Changing the advertising mural involves using a heat gun or like implement to remove each laminate panel from its associated bin door. New laminate panels collectively forming a different advertising mural can then be individually applied to the bin doors. Accordingly, the same bin doors can be re-used to present a different advertising mural.

Abstract: A decorative door covering for a door, the door having a first door side, a second door side, a top side and a bottom side. The decorative door covering includes a first cover panel having a first exterior side, a first interior side, a first top edge and a first bottom edge; the first interior side for covering the first door side; and a second cover panel having a second exterior side, a second interior side, a second top edge and a second bottom edge; the second interior side for covering the second door side. The decorative door covering also includes a connector strip for connecting each of the first and second top edges of the first and second cover panels, respectively, in order to allow the connector strip to be placed on the top side of the door in order to hang each of the first and second cover panels on the opposed first and second door sides of the door.

Abstract: A contiguous emergency exit path lighting system that includes the peripheral lighting of a hollow doorframe at an egress point using a set of electroluminescent illuminators integrally formed within or upon the doorframe, an electrical bypass doorframe to reroute wiring around doorways that are not points of egress, electroluminescent illuminator strips mountable on walls, floors, and other pathway surfaces, and flush mount exit signage on the egress door to enhance visibility in high smoke and high heat applications. An integrally formed U-shaped channel within the egress doorframe secures a transparent or translucent raceway tube that encloses the electroluminescent strips.
