Patent number: 8984781Abstract: A configurable large-depth panel display uses a number of frame members and a number of corner brackets coupled to one another to create an flexible and easily customized display device. The frame members relatively uniform, having a substantially constant cross-sectional configuration which is easily coupled to the frame members. The corner brackets can be configured in a number of different ways to produce a display product with a desired configuration. More specifically, the corner brackets can be configured to attach to frame members in a manner which produce an overall framework having multiple shapes and orientations, depending upon the desired design of the overall display. To complete the display panel, a removable face panel is attached to the frame using an interference fit caused by a ridged tab inserted into a channel that has a supporting recess. Various face panels, can be easily attached to the frame members using integral portions of the constant cross-sectional configuration.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2013Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Skyline Displays, Inc.Inventors: Dixon Gimpel, Mark Fritsche, Scott Parizek, John Elliott

Further, more complex displays can be easily created by simply attaching different framework components to one another thus creating a single structure with multiple panel members.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2013Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: Skyline Displays, Inc.Inventors: Dixon Gimpel, Mark Fritsche, Scott Parizek, John Elliott

Patent number: 8468956Abstract: To provide a usable workspace for use at tradeshows, conventions and similar events, a collapsible transaction table is uniquely designed to provide transportability and flexibility regarding its setup. In its collapsed condition, the transaction table itself is contained and thereby easily transportable. In its expanded condition, components are provided to provide a usable transaction table which preferably sits at a countertop height but with which also may be modified to further extend into a countertop configuration. To achieve the counter top configuration, a pair of transaction tables are coupled with one another utilizing specifically configured bridging elements to thus create a stable and usable countertop. The transaction tables themselves include a collapsible base unit and tabletop elements which are removably attachable to the base units in an interlocking manner to provide additional stability.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2010Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Skyline Displays, Inc.Inventors: Scott Parizek, Dixon Gimpel

Patent number: 8272156Abstract: Retractable banner stands each comprises a base including a housing containing an extendable and retractable banner, the housing having a slot through which the banner is extended and retracted. The base includes sockets for receiving vertical poles for attachment of accessories. Such accessories can include banner support structure for an additional banner to be positioned intermediate two of said retractable banner stands whereby a three banner interconnected display may be provided with each of the banners visually separated. Such a display is highly suitable for a backwall for a tradeshow display area. Further accessories include shelves, literature holders, lighting, and electronic display screens. The base may include a housing with a pair of floor engaging saddles, each saddle with a pair of feet portions extending forwardly and rearwardly from the housing on two ends of the housing, the feet having the sockets for receiving said vertical poles.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2009Date of Patent: September 25, 2012Assignee: Skyline Displays, Inc.Inventors: Dixon Gimpel, Scott Parizek

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.
