Patent number: 10359148Abstract: An accessory mounting system for an inflatable display. The accessory mounting system includes a cuff selectively positionable onto the inflatable airframe members of the inflatable display. The cuff remains on the airframe member when the inflatable display is in a deflated state. The cuff includes a mounting mechanism to which an accessory connector removably attaches over the exterior cover of the inflatable display. The accessory connector is adapted to support the accessory.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2015Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Skyline Displays, LLCInventors: Curtis H. Lindblom, John Elliott, Jim Sommerville, Nathaniel J. Nelson

Patent number: 8322060Abstract: A retractable double-sided banner stand has a base, two upright posts, a crossbar, and a single banner with graphic image(s) disposed on both sides of the banner. The base generally includes a housing, two housing end cap assemblies, a single core, and a retracting mechanism. The banner is wound around the core, and the retracting mechanism unwinds and winds the banner with respect to the core. The leading edge of the banner is attached to the crossbar, which is wider than the width of the banner. The banner stand has an erect upright mode for displaying the images(s), and a collapsed mode for transporting the banner stand. In the erect mode, the upright posts are retained in the base by means of a quick-release locking mechanism, the banner extends upwardly from the base, and the crossbar engages with, and is supported by, the upper portion of each of the upright posts.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2010Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: Skyline Displays, Inc.Inventors: Scott Parizek, Curtis H.

Publication number: 20120132603Abstract: An exhibit or display for tradeshows or the like having a plurality of support members and an axial connection assembly. The support members include opposing ends and a body portion, and further include an exterior channel and a central bore, the channel defining a flange portion and the bore being in communication with a retention feature. The axial connection assembly is configured to releasably couple an end of a first support member to an end of a second support member such that the two support members are axially aligned. The axial connection assembly includes a collar releasably coupled in the bore of each member, with each collar including at least one locator portion to interact with the retention feature, and a pin having a mid portion and two ends, the mid portion configured to be rotatably selectively restrained within the collar.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2011Publication date: May 31, 2012Applicant: SKYLINE DISPLAYS, INC.Inventors: Dixon Gimpel, Joe Skull, Curtis H.

Publication number: 20090205286Abstract: A display framework connection system comprising a plurality of frame members, preferably tubular, a plurality of end flanges, and a hub system. The hub system can comprise a hub plate assembly and/or a hub casting assembly. In addition, at least one clamp assembly, preferably cylindrical, can be included for circumferential attachment to the outer surface of the frame members to provide for selective removable fastening of various attachments and accessories at positions along the length of the frame members. The hub plate assembly and the hug casting assembly can be connected individually to the frame members, or in combination, to enable selective angular configuration of the frame members to construct a frame construction, such as those commonly utilized in display frame systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2009Publication date: August 20, 2009Inventors: Dixon S.
