A composite material for use as a billboard sheeting material includes a scrim coated on only a single side with PVC. The composite weighs about 5 ounces per square yard.

A portable wind resistant target and sign stand, that is lightweight, wind resistant and can be stored in a relatively small container approximately two feet tall and five inches in diameter. The stand is made of rigid pipes that can be rapidly and easily assembled and disassembled without tools, The stand can accommodate target or sign panels of varying height or width, as the backdrops can be secured at any position along the vertically adjustable, horizontally disposed, rigid crossbars by a plurality of spring clips or, alternatively, a plurality of magnets if said crossbar is made of ferrous metal. Wind resistance is enhanced by a novel three-way-tee fitting assembly developed for this application.

A connection assembly for connecting a banner to an upper support line, a lower support line, and a first tensioning line of a banner support system supporting a banner, the connection assembly comprising first and second lateral lines attached to the first tensioning line of the banner support system, an upper support line connection portion connecting the first lateral line to both an upper corner of the banner and the upper support line, the upper support line connection portion being slidably coupled to the upper support line, and a lower support line connection portion connecting the second lateral line to both a lower corner of the banner and the lower support line, the lower support line connection portion being slidably coupled to the lower support line, and the lower support line connection portion being operable to allow the lower corner of the banner to rotate away from the lower support line and to return back toward the lower support line

A weighted unit is provided. The weighted unit includes an enclosed shape, the shape having horizontal channels running along the entire base of the unit from one side to an opposing side, such that the horizontal channel is open to each opposing side, the weighted unit being placed over a horizontal and/or vertical member of an object to be held down with the channel engaging the horizontal member to hold the object in place. Protrusions or other features are integrally formed in the weighted unit to allow the weighted unit to hang from the object to be weighed down without the weighted unit touching the ground. The weighted unit may be placed directly over the top of a horizontal member of the object to be weighed down without also engaging, or being placed around, a vertical component of the same object.

A reusable and washable bulletin board may include a rear frame at least partially disposed around a reusable, washable adhesive layer disposed on a backing substrate constructed and arranged to secure items thereto. The reusable, washable adhesive layer does not require the use of a fastening mechanism to attach items such as paper, photos, notes, or the like thereto. The rear frame or backing substrate removably and replaceable and may be magnetic such that items may be magnetically attached to the rear frame or the layer. The reusable and washable bulletin board may further include a removable and replaceable cover substrate and front frame constructed and arranged to be fastened to the rear frame to cover at least a portion of the rear frame and the layer.

A display device is disclosed. The display device includes a base display panel, a back cover supporting a rear portion of the base display panel, sliding frames sliding with respect to the back cover, a driving unit configured to drive the sliding frames to slide, and a rollable display panel being extendable in response to the sliding of the sliding frames. The rollable display panel can be extended as needed by a user when widescreen images are displayed.

The current invention may include an improved canvas wrap frame mount having an upper and a lower display support that may be secured along the top and bottom surfaces of a canvas wrap picture by a plurality of low profile adjustable couplers. In another embodiment, the invention may include an extendable canvas wrap frame mount having an upper and a lower display support that may be independently expandable along the length of a leading edge of a canvas wrap.

A suspended system with orientation control. The system may have a frame, a sign attached to the frame, a plurality of sensors, at least two thrusters, and a microcontroller operatively coupled to the plurality of sensors and the thrusters. The frame is configured to be suspended from a support, and the sign is configured to display a graphic. The plurality of sensors is configured to track an orientation of the frame. The thrusters are configured to adjust the orientation of the frame. Each of the thrusters may have an axis oriented in a direction perpendicular to the frame. The microcontroller is configured to receive a selected orientation of the frame, receive the current orientation of the frame from the sensors, compare the orientation of the frame with the selected orientation, and control the thrusters to adjust the orientation of the frame into the selected orientation.

Provided is an assembled body assembled by splicing frames through male joint and female interface. The male joint includes a stopping edge and a locating protrusion, where the stopping edge extends in a first direction and the locating protrusion extends in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The female interface includes a first U-shape recess, and an inner surface of the recess is provided with a stopping groove and a locating slot adapted for retaining the stopping edge and the locating protrusion respectively.
