  • Patent number: 10104989
    Abstract: A planar display assembly is provided with a planar display pane. A frame is provided with a dado sized to receive the planar display pane. A plurality of retainers mounts to the frame about an inner periphery of the frame to retain the planar display pane within the frame. At least one of the plurality of retainers is elastically deformable to deform during installation of the planar display into the frame, and to expand to retain the planar display pane within the frame. A plurality of apertures or a channel may be formed in the frame about the dado. The plurality of retainers may mount to the frame within the plurality of apertures or the channel of the frame to retain the planar display pane within the frame.

  • Publication number: 20170224133
    Abstract: A retail display system is provided with a point-of-sale display unit sized to be received in a retail store aisle. A first and a second plurality of mirror panes are oriented within the display unit, which are formed from different material compositions. A mirror display assembly is provided with samples from the first and second pluralities of mirror panes to visually demonstrate the material composition difference between the first plurality of mirror panes and the second plurality of mirror panes. The mirror display assembly is provided with a support with a base. An image surface is mounted upon the base. A first sample mirror pane is mounted to the support and oriented at an angle relative to the image surface to reflect the image surface. A second sample mirror pane is mounted to the support and oriented at an angle relative to the image surface to reflect the image surface.

  • Publication number: 20170105554
    Abstract: A planar display assembly is provided with a pane with a front reflective surface and a rear surface. An array of mounting plates is provided, each with a first fastener, and a polygonal mounting plate adhered to the rear surface by an adhesive. A plurality of second fasteners is each engaged with one of the array of first fasteners for linear adjustment relative to the pane in a direction generally perpendicular to the pane to support the planar display assembly upon an upright support surface. Each mounting plate is oriented upon the pane rear surface such that at least one vertex extends away from the corresponding first fastener in a direction toward another sequential first fastener within the array of first fasteners. A metal bracket is adapted to be mounted to the upright support surface. The bracket has at least one enclosed cleat to receive two of the second fasteners.
