Patent number: 8136282Abstract: A display adapted for use indoors and outdoors includes a stand adapted to secure a first screen. The stand comprises a first part which supports against an underlying supportive surface and comprises a first bobbin in the first part. The first screen can be wound onto and withdrawn from the first bobbin. The stand also comprises at least one support which in a support mode supports against the surface. The support is arranged to provide a turning moment which is anti-twisting in relation to the turning moment created by a wind pressure acting on the first screen, wherein Mt?Mp. The stand also comprises at least one foldable pole, or telescopic pole. The stand also includes a number of springs arranged in connection to the at least one pole, and operable to make the display bendable in windy conditions, and to withstand twisting of the springs in windy conditions.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2007Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Expand International ABInventors: Thomas Valeij, Jari Kekkonen, Björn Sao

Patent number: 6520725Abstract: A holder for connection to a first unit has a locking device designed for insertion, in a first position, into a receiving part in the first unit and, in a second position, for locking the holder to the first unit, is described. The holder's locking device has a threaded locking shaft arranged for axial movement in the holder, a handle with a threaded hole for admitting the locking shaft and a locking element rigidly connected to the locking shaft. The holder also has at least one beveled shoulder against which the locking element is axially movable, the handle axially pulling the locking shaft, as well as the locking element, against the beveled shoulder when rotated for locking, thereby inducing simultaneous rotation of the locking element to lock the holder to the receiving part.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2001Date of Patent: February 18, 2003Assignee: Siemens-Elema ABInventor: Thomas Valeij
