Abstract: A kiosk includes, among other things, a pair of displays each including a display panel hinged at opposed longitudinal curved edges to a pair of side panels oriented generally parallel. The display panel includes a pair of opposing display reinforcing panels hinged to the display panel and connected to an inner surface of the display panel. Each of the side panels includes a pair of opposing side reinforcing panels hinged thereto and connected to an inner surface of each side panel. An elastic element extends between a pair of generally laterally aligned apertures formed in a one side panel and an other side panel for maintaining the side panels oriented generally parallel. The one side panel includes a series of longitudinally aligned notches formed therein.

Abstract: An assembly for supporting a sign and adapted to engage a pole includes a pair of mounting plates disposed contiguously with a pole. Each mounting plate comprises a second aperture through which a band is inserted to connect each mounting plate to the pole. A crossmember is fed through a first aperture to support a sign or banner. The crossmember is receptive to an alignment device to prevent unwanted lateral movement. Additionally, the crossmember is receptive to two stops on either of its two ends. Each end stop prevents the sign or banner from sliding off the crossmember under adverse conditions.

Abstract: An adjustable-length cane with a grasping apparatus includes a trigger at one end of the cane and a finger at the other end. The trigger and the finger are pivotally mounted within the body of the cane and have portions extending out of the cane body through slots. A cord and pulley system within the cane body connects the trigger and the finger so that when the trigger is activated, the finger closes or opens to either grasp or release objects. The finger includes a locking clip or similar device which holds the cord at a preselected point. This feature allows the user to vary the amount that the finger opens, and it allows the grasping apparatus to operate optimally irrespective of the length of the cane. The grasping apparatus may be locked in the closed position by appropriately sliding a sleeve into a locking zone on the trigger.
