  • Patent number: 11915619
    Abstract: A self-laminating rotating cable marker label is constructed of a transparent film having a first adhesive area, an adhesive-free smooth area, and a second adhesive area. A print-on area forms one side of the transparent film, the print-on area adapted to receive indicia identifying the cable about which the marker label is applied. A perforation extends across the transparent film providing a line of separation of the transparent film. When wrapped around a cable, the second adhesive area overlies the print-on area such that the cable identifying indicia is visible through the transparent second adhesive area. As the transparent film is wrapped around the cable, the first adhesive area adheres to the cable. The remainder of the transparent film is rotated, breaking the perforation, whereby the smooth area of the film in contact with the cable provides smooth rotation of the label around the cable.

  • Publication number: 20150027014
    Abstract: A system and method of covering a bollard with removeable advertising. The bollard cover comprises a sock that has graphics printed on it which has a retention mechanism near an open end to releaseably couple the sock to the bollard. Preferably the sock is made of a flexible, stretchable fabric and the retention mechanism is made of elastic. In a preferred embodiment, the fabric sock is longer than the bollard is tall and is made of flexible material that stretches in both directions. When the fabric sock is used in combination with a rigid sleeve over the bollard, the excess sock is caught between the sleeve and the bollard such that, as the sleeve and sock are pushed down over the bollard, the sock is tightened, presenting a smooth graphic design that looks as if it is painted on the bollard.

  • Patent number: 4584950
    Abstract: A display rack for video tape containers and other similar articles includes a support rack which is fixed to a support surface. A plurality of bracket members are connected to the support rack utilizing a combination of two opposing channels and two projections. The projections fit into the channels to join the bracket members to the support rack. Friction engaging elements are located on both the support member and the bracket members allowing for sliding of the bracket members along the support member but locking of the position of the bracket members on the support member by the frictional engagement of the frictional elements. The bracket members include opposing side flanges connected by a web with the flanges attaching to a back plate at an angle of, for instance, 45.degree. for optimum display of the articles supported by the display rack.
