  • 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 “U” 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.

  • Patent number: 8286380
    Abstract: An elongated abuttable snap frame arrangement for biasably, removably, capturing a display graphic support and for display thereof, the arrangement comprising: an elongated base panel, an elongated cover that is flexibly attached to the base panel at its upper edge, and an elongated hinge member flexibly attached to the elongated base panel and the elongated cover, the cover able to rotate from a parallel closed position to a generally perpendicular open position without interfering with adjacent objects or other abutting snap frame arrangements.

  • Patent number: 8196325
    Abstract: A thin, graphic support assembly comprising an elongated base rail and an elongated cover rail which come together around a board to form four sides of a frame. A spring mechanism is fully captured after the base rail and cover rail are assembled together, and the angle and position of the spring channel allows the hinge location to be at the top/outer edge of the frame. The elongated base rail and elongated cover rail can be oriented in a parallel relationship when closed for capturing a display panel or a perpendicular relationship when open for inserting or removing a display panel.
