Abstract: A panel fastening assembly comprising a frame member securable to a beam, an advertising track, a rod mating the frame member and the track, and a carrier for retaining an advertising panel therein. The carrier is secured to the track to display the advertising panel. A method of displaying an advertising panel comprising the steps of engaging an advertising panel with a carrier, attaching a frame member to a beam, attaching a rod to the frame, coupling an advertising track to the carrier, and securing the advertising track to the rod. The frame member comprises a cylindrical base which is securable to the beam. The rod extends through an aperture in the base and into the track. Upward movement of the rod locks the track and carrier together and tensions the panel. Downward movement of the rod releases the carrier from the track and the tension in the panel.

Abstract: A flexible, scalable multiple frame topology system capable of a wide range of multiple frame geometric topologies. Specifically a series of photographs, a series of photographic letters, or any series of flat, semi-flat, or three-dimensional display objects are displayable in a wide variety of display geometries: a horizontal line of frames, multiple, stacked, horizontal lines of frames, a vertical array of frames, multiple vertical arrays of frames, staggered arrays of frames, diagonal arrays of frames, crossword arrays of frames, and any combinations thereof. Also the disclosed display method is capable of displaying three-dimensional objects on shelves, or glass display cases, shadow boxes, on hooks, interlocking into the display cases—and the geometric display can mix a number of different display frames, for instance, a series of flat framed items with a three dimensional objects at each end of the array.

Abstract: A stable cable system and method are disclosed. The stable cable system comprises at least two stakes, at least one cable, wherein the at least one cable is coupled to the at least two stakes, wherein the at least one cable has at least one loop and at least one connector, wherein the at least one connector is inserted through the at least one loop and around an object.

Abstract: A sign system is disclosed in which a flexible sign panel is supported by light weight frame numbers such as fiberglass ribs joined together with a pivot connection. A sign panel of flexible material has a center section disposed between a pair of opposed sign panel portions. The center portion of the sign panel engages a cross member with the sign panel portions being folded over on either side of an upright support member. Free ends of the sign panel member are secured with a stretchable elastic cord, ribbon or the like, to a mounting member having a socket for receiving one end of the vertical support member. By engaging the mounting member and stretching the elastic cords, the mounting member is disposed over one end of the vertical support and one released, engages the vertical support holding the sign panel portions in a display position.

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: Enhancements for moving displays in general, and in particular, dynamic signage and kinetic sculpture. More specifically, the present invention relates to improvements on moving banners (18) for use within entertainment, advertising, signage, art, theater, performance visual instruments, and attraction contexts. Improvements are cost-saving computer controlled torque friction brakes (16), substantially inelastic reinforcing cable (20) to allow elastic banners (18) to handle relatively higher wind loads, and reusable removable printed image banner sleeves (22).

Abstract: Apparatus for displaying a visual image includes a device (10) having an inflatable main body (14) and a base portion (12). The main body (14) is formed from tubular members (17) which define a predetermined shape when inflated, providing at least one display face for displaying a visual image. The base portion (12) stabilises the device (10).
