  • Patent number: 10051961
    Abstract: A modular table system having a base assembly, a pedestal and a top member. The base assembly includes a plurality of base members. The pedestal includes a plurality of adjacent wall panels, each supported by a corresponding one of the base members. The member engages with upper panel mounts on at least some of wall panels, whereby the base assembly, the pedestal and the top member define an enclosure.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8984781
    Abstract: 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.

Various panels, brackets and supports can be easily attached to the frame members using integral portions of the constant cross-sectional configuration. 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.

  • Publication number: 20080105797
    Abstract: A banner stand having a banner having generally opposed major surfaces, the banner having graphics presented with at least one of the major surfaces. The banner stand further includes a base and a post extending upwardly from the base, the post operably supporting the banner when the banner is in an upright mode. The banner stand also including a curved form having a curved surface for operably supporting the banner in a curved shape, and a retaining portion presented with the curved surface, the retaining portion having an operable surface engageable with at least one of the major surfaces to retain the banner in the curved shape. The operable surface provides a coefficient of friction between the banner and the operable surface that is greater than a coefficient of friction between the banner and the curved surface without the retaining portion.

  • Publication number: 20080005945
    Abstract: A retractable banner stand has a banner, a support base, a mast, a retracting mechanism, and a means for imparting a curvature in the horizontal plane on the banner. Typically a cross member will be provided for supporting the banner in an extended upright position and typically the base will be a housing that included the retracting mechanism. The means for imparting a curvature may comprise a pair of elongate forms each with a banner engaging area that has a curved surface. The elongate forms can be resiliently flexible to repeatably provide and release the curved surface upon set-up and take-down. Various means for holding the resiliently flexible form in place include hinged spacers, slidable spacers, hinged form, or slidable form connected to the base. Alternatively, the curved surface may be rigid and insertable into engagement with the banner.

  • Publication number: 20050034409
    Abstract: The elongated box frame structure of the present invention comprises a plurality of frame segments attached to at least one end piece. Preferably, two end pieces are attached, one at each end of the plurality of frame segments. The plurality of frame segments are attached to the end piece such that a column-like structure is formed. The inner space defined within the frame segments can be substantially free of webbing. Structural strength and stability is generally achieved by the bridging support of the attached end pieces.
