Modular poster print stretch frame
A modular poster print stretch frame for displaying a variety of sizes of poster prints. The modular poster print stretch frame may comprise a plurality of modular frame sections, each having a section body and two or more connectors disposed on at least two faces of the section body, each connector being configured to link the modular frame section to at least one other modular frame section. Modular frame sections may also include a plurality of retaining structures which may be used to retain a fabric sheet, such as a poster print. Some or all of the modular frame sections may be substantially identical to and interchangeable with each other, allowing for simple and easy assembly of the modular poster print stretch frame to a variety of sizes.
TRIPOD SYSTEM AND METHOD
A tripod system including clamp assembly, rod assembly, rod-hub, plurality of spoke-rods, plurality of corner-joints, plurality of screen-rods, plurality of storage-assembly-rods, plurality of storage assembly rods, and plurality storage assembly corners. Each of spoke-rods and screen-rods are adjustable in length. The tripod system configured to hold and maintain a screen. The clamp assembly is removably affixable to a tripod. The rod assembly includes first-end and a second-end, with rod assembly removably affixable to clamp assembly at first-end in a substantially horizontal plane. The rod-hub includes plurality of spoke-apertures, with the rod-hub affixable to second-end of the rod assembly and rotatable in relation to rod assembly. The plurality of spoke-rods insertable into the plurality of spoke-apertures of the rod-hub and the plurality of corner-joints removably affixable to the spoke-rods where the plurality of screen-rods removably affixable between two corner-joints.
Locking clamp
A locking clamp for use in a cable system for stretching a sheet across a surface and maintaining it under tension, the locking clamp having a base member defining a first grasping surface; an elongate tongue member rotatively coupled to a first portion of the base member and defining a second grasping surface, and a locking member that is rotatively coupled to a second portion of the base member and that is configured to selectively rotate the tongue member to urge at least a portion of the second grasping surface of the tongue member into engageable contact with the first grasping surface of the base member. The base member of the locking clamp also has a hook configured to removably engage a cable of a tensioning system.
SHEET STRETCHING DEVICE
A sheet stretching device is provided which is capable of preventing a sheet from being slacked, with the sheet stretched over a frame, by possibly preventing unnecessary motions of a retaining member for fixedly drawing the sheet into the frame.
A retaining groove (2a) is formed along the length direction of the frame on the front surface side of a frame (2). Retaining plates (4), with a rectangular cross section, to be fitted into the retaining groove are attached to the peripheral edge portion of a sheet (3). The retaining plate is formed of an elastic material and substantially equal in thickness to the width of the retaining groove. A plurality of projections (4a) at certain intervals in the depth direction of the retaining groove are formed on at least one of the inner wall surface of the retaining groove and the side surface of the retaining plate.
MODULAR AND FREELY COMBINABLE TENSION FABRIC POPUP DISPLAY
The invention discloses a popup display, including at least one freely combinable tension fabric popup display, wherein the tension fabric popup display includes an exhibit grid frame, and aluminum grooved straight rods The eight sides on the two planes of the exhibit grid frame are connected to the aluminum grooved straight rods. A popup display with a preset size and shape is provided by combining a plurality of tension fabric popup displays as needed. The aluminum grooved straight rods for the adjacent tension fabric popup displays are locked by a plurality of fasteners. The display before or after the combination is formed by inserting the silicon strips at the edges of the display into the grooves of grooved straight rods. The tension fabric popup displays of the invention can be combined freely to form various shapes, which are seamlessly attached by the fasteners.
Self tensioning mounting frame for sheet media
A media frame assembly for displaying a sheet of media against a mounting surface comprising a base plate and a cover plate. The base plate has multiple features so as to minimize contact with the mounting surface, space for rivet nuts, adhesive strip to secure media prior to mating with cover plate, and a channel and groove to mate with legs and protrusion from cover plate. The cover plate has multiple features so as to mate with base plate, simplify installation, and legs and protrusion to mate with channel and groove located in the base plate. The channel and groove located in the base plate operate in conjunction with legs and protrusion in cover plate to provide some tensioning of the media when the cover plate is mated to the base plate.

The tension fabric popup displays of the invention can be combined freely to form various shapes, which are seamlessly attached by the fasteners.
ADAPTABLE TENSIONED-FABRIC FRAMING SYSTEM
A support system for tensioned fabric is provided comprising two or more elongated frame members, each having an outer surface with a plurality of spaced-apart, axially-extending recesses. At least one elongated clip is associated with each elongated frame member. Each clip has a first segment configured to be received in one of the axially-extending recesses of its associated elongated frame member and a second segment configured to hold an edge of the tensioned fabric. Each elongated clip is configured to be slidably received in its associated axially-extending recess in the frame member. To this end, the first segment of each elongated clip has a cross-sectional shape complementary to a cross-sectional shape of the axially-extending recesses. In another aspect, the second segment of each clip comprises at least one pair of first and second spaced apart planar portions defining a track or slot for receiving the edge of the tensioned fabric.
Portable collapsible fabric-tensioned sign assembly
A portable collapsible sign assembly including a fabric covering and support frame which is adjustable between a collapsed and expanded position. When the sign assembly is expanded, or in its deployed state, the fabric covering and support frame possess a connective tension relationship with respect to one another which creates and supports both the sign assembly display sign and base in a stable manner. The fabric covering engagement with the support frame enables the entire sign assembly, including both the display sign and assembly base, to be simultaneously deployed in one user-initiated motion.
Modular sign assembly
A modular sign assembly includes a perimeter frame including an upper support, a lower support, a first lateral support and second lateral support. Each of the upper and lower supports is removably engaged with each of the first and second lateral supports. The first and second lateral supports each include a housing having a top end, a bottom end and a perimeter wall. A light emitter is mounted in the housing and emits light outwardly from the perimeter wall when the light emitter is turned on. A rechargeable battery is mounted within the housing and is electrically coupled to the light emitter. Each of the first and second lateral supports has a receivers attached thereto and each receiver receives two legs. A flexible panel is positioned within the perimeter frame. A plurality of couplers releasably couples the flexible panel to the perimeter frame.
