  • Publication number: 20070220794
    Abstract: A curved stand display panel arrangement for supporting a curved display panel in an attractive and easily exchanged manner. The display panel arrangement comprises a first shelf and a second shelf spaced parallel and apart from one another. The first and second shelves having curved peripheries and corners. A support arrangement is secured between the shelves at their respective corners, wherein the support arrangement comprises a position-locked sleeve with panel engaging channels therein. A display panel has a pair of parallel edges inserted against a shoulder on the curved periphery of the shelves, and a pair of its edges are inserted into the parallel spaced apart channels in the sleeves.

  • Publication number: 20070209261
    Abstract: A support arrangement for supporting a poster from an adjacent or overhead member. The arrangement comprises an elongated first extruded housing on at least one side of the poster. The housing comprises three chambers defined by opposing sidewalls with a perpendicular connecting bridge and one set of opposing lips. The first and second elongated lips and the lower edge of the sidewalls define an elongated holding third chamber having tapered sidewalls comprising a wedge-shaped elongated chamber. The substrate to be supported may be inserted longitudinally through an elongated space between the tapered sidewalls. A pair of elongated, flexible rollers are arranged within that elongated wedge-shaped holding third chamber. The rollers are of non-linear configuration in at least two planes. The non-linear shape to the rollers ensures contact with the substrate even when the housing is used upside down on the bottom of a substrate.

  • Publication number: 20060005442
    Abstract: A snap frame assembly for engagably supporting a one or double sided planar display panel, comprising an elongated extruded carrier frame having an elongated housing with a central opening therein, an elongated extruded front plate slidably mounted on an elongated rigid member extending from the housing. and an elongated pivotable member flexibly attached to the housing by an elongated commonly extruded hinge. The front plate has an upper channel member which rotatively pivots on an arm extending from the housing and has a lower channel member which pivots together with a curved housing plate which comprises a portion of the housing of the carrier frame.

  • Publication number: 20050205747
    Abstract: An elongated poster support arrangement comprising an elongated extrusion having an uppermost wall, a tapered sidewall. The sidewall angularly extends from the uppermost wall. A support wall is arranged adjacent said tapered sidewall to define a longitudinal chamber between the tapered sidewall and the support. A plurality of flexibly connected gripping members are loosely disposed within the longitudinal chamber, the chamber arranged to receive a poster therein for pinched securement between the gripping members and the support wall. The gripping members comprise a plurality of generally cylindrically shaped roller links connected longitudinally together by a flexible connecting line. The roller links are formed of resilient material.

  • Publication number: 20050055862
    Abstract: An elongated poster support arrangement comprising an elongated extrusion having an uppermost wall, a first tapered sidewall and a second tapered sidewall. The first and second sidewalls angularly extend from the uppermost wall. A central support wall is arranged between the first and the second tapered sidewalls to define a first longitudinal chamber between the first tapered sidewall and the central support wall and also to define a second longitudinal chamber between the second tapered sidewall and the central support wall. An arrangement of gripping members is loosely disposed within the second longitudinal chamber. The second chamber is arranged to receive a poster therein for pinched securement between the gripping members and the central support wall.

  • Publication number: 20050005560
    Abstract: An elongated poster support arrangement comprising an elongated extrusion having an uppermost wall and a tapered sidewall which extends angularly from the uppermost wall. A central support wall is arranged between the tapered sidewall to define an elongated longitudinally disposed chamber between the tapered sidewall and the central support wall. The longitudinal chamber has a slot which is arranged to receive a lift tool to permit the poster support to be lifted to and removed from a ceiling rail. The tapered sidewall has a distal edge flange arranged to facilitate sliding engagement of a blade of the lift tool. The blade of the lift tool has a tapered lock member thereon for wedging between the flange and the support wall.
