Abstract: A display module for attachment to the framing members adjacent a lighting fixture. The module is comprised of a light transmissive trough which is suspended beneath the lighting fixture and receives its light from the fixture without substantially impairing the illumination available to the area beneath the light fixture. The modules may be used individually or combined with other modules to create different geometric patterns of display.

Abstract: A message display boot is provided for a fuel dispensing nozzle. The display boot comprises a flexible plastic boot in close conforming fit over at least the front valve housing of the nozzle. At the top of the boot is a message platform upon which a message placard can be rested. A skirted flexible cover conforming to the contour of the platform has a pattern of scalloped expansion folds, such that the cover is held on the platform by the close conforming fit of the skirt along and under the sides of the platform but can be easily pried off the platform to change the placard. The cover can be optically clear to hold a message placard on the platoform, or it may have a message imprinted on its top surface. A bellows portion at the bottom of the boot provides a conforming fit over nozzles of various height. In a preferred embodiment, the boot, platform and bumper are integrally molded of plastisol vinyl.

Abstract: A display frame for a sign, poster, or the like. The frame comprises a plurality of frame sections each comprising a rear structure, a front structure, and tensioned spring means. The rear structure has a cylindrically shaped portion and an opposing channel spaced therefrom, while the front structure comprises a forward panel portion and a semi-circularly shaped portion, and with the latter being rotatably mounted on the cylindrical portion of the rear structure to thereby permit movement of the front structure from an open to a closed position. A spring means is disposed between the channel and the cylindrical portion of the rear structure, with the end thereof adjacent the cylindrical portion being circularly shaped. Said end biases against the leading edge of the semi-circularly shaped portion of the front structure when said structure is in the closed position, and against the solid section of the semi-circular portion when the front structure is moved toward or maintained at the open position.
