Abstract: A rib-engaging support is made from a unitary web having four panels, including two inner panels and two outer panels, with each panel having the shape of an isosceles trapezoid. Each panel includes a base side and a top side parallel to each other, and a pair of equal sides extending between the base side and the top side. The inner panels have a smaller size and are joined together at their bases. The outer panels have a larger size, with their top sides joined to the top sides of respective inner panels along respective fold lines. The web is folded such that the inner panels are folded one on top of the other and the outer panels are folded one on top of the other, with the inner panels on top of the outer panels. A rib-receiving pocket is formed between the inner panels and the outer panels.

Abstract: A receiver for a sign panel having a vertical rib defines upper and lower spaced-apart internal cavities, one of which receives the vertical rib and the other of which receives a vertical support from a sign stand, for example. A catch extends into the upper cavity so as to engage the rib. The invention finds particular application with sign panel supporting ribs which have plastic pockets fitted thereto to reduce wear and tear on the rib end.

Abstract: A lighting apparatus includes a lens assembly with mating first and second lens members forming a hollow interior, and an internal assembly including an inner housing. The inner housing is generally triangular-shaped and includes an upper corner, a pair of lower corners and hollow leg portions between the corners. An LED lamp is mounted in the hollow interior of the inner housing, at an upper corner thereof. A circuit board carrying at least one switch is disposed in the hollow leg portion extending between the lower corners of the inner housing, and electrical wiring is disposed in a leg portion, connecting the LED lamp to the circuit board. The base includes a base housing defining a hollow interior and a battery holder received within the hollow interior.
