  • Patent number: 9192255
    Abstract: A multi-component frame assembly for the display of at least one illuminable graphic panel. The frame assembly includes a frame made of at least one single frame member and at least one split rail frame member, which are joined together by a plurality of connecting brackets. The split rail frame member is comprised of an elongated first side split rail and an elongated second side split rail separated apart by a mid rail member disposed therebetween. The at least one single frame member has a cross-sectional configuration of ā€œUā€ shape, and is comprised of an exterior bridge member and an interior bridge member for supporting strips of light emitting diodes. The interior bridge member has a bracket channel on one side of the interior bridge member and a graphic receiving channel on the other side of the interior bridge member to enable receipt of one or more graphic display panels.
