Pseudo-volumetric display apparatus and methods
A pseudo-volumetric display apparatus includes a first inwardly facing image display surface having a continuous geometry, with an open upper end, for presenting an interior panoramic image, and a second upwardly facing image display surface, located at a lower end of the first image display surface, for presenting a second image. The images may be generated optically or electronically. The second image is correlated and synchronized to the first image, and the first image display surface is sized and positioned to facilitate simultaneous viewing of both images from outside of the first surface via the open upper end. The same or coupled information may be simultaneously presented as a continuous Cartesian representation on the first image display surface and as a polar representation on the second image display surface, and content of one representation may be synchronized in accordance with a selected position in the other representation.
Wet surface indication
A product (20) for use on a surface or as part of a surface, the product comprising: a first layer (22) which carries an indication; and a second layer (26) which overlies at least a portion of the first layer (22), the second layer (26) comprising a porous polymer; wherein the second layer (26) is opaque when dry such that the indication is masked and transparent when wet such that the indication is revealed.
Apparatus and method for attaching signs to foundation members such as road barriers
A support system for a sign mountable on at least two spaced apart foundation members, the system comprising: i) a base, preferably a length adjustable base, having a first end and a second end; ii) a vertical sign support having a first end and a second end wherein the second end is connected to the base; iii) a first foundation member bracket for connection to a first foundation member, the first foundation member bracket proximate the first end of the base; and iv) a second foundation member bracket for connection to a second foundation member distant the first foundation member, the second foundation member bracket proximate the second end of the base.
Yard sign frame
A yard sign frame comprises an injection molded universal base, the base comprising a pair of vertical frame members and at least one horizontal frame member interconnecting the vertical frame members, and a frame mounted on the base, the frame comprising a pair of extruded vertical frame members and at least one extruded horizontal frame member interconnecting the vertical frame members. The frame is adapted to receive a main sign panel.
DECORATIVE STONE PANEL
A decorative stone panel is provided, which comprises a natural stone panel (1), a ceramic tile (4), a light source (2) and curable transparent adhesive resin (3). The ceramic tile (4) is bonded to the inner surface of the natural stone plate (1). Counter-relies (9) are provided on the inner surface of the natural stone plate (1). The stone thickness at the bottom of the counter-reliefs (9) is 1 mm to 3.5 mm. The counter-reliefs (9) form a counter-relief figure. A cavity is provided between the counter-reliefs (9) and the body of the ceramic tile (4). The light source (2) is provided within the cavity. The cavity is also filled with curable transparent adhesive resin (3) on the side of the counter-reliefs (9) The decorative panel has good light transmitting properties and the light-transmitting surface is less prone to damage.
Modular floor mat
This invention relates to a modular floor mat comprising a plurality of interconnected thermoplastic trays with textile substrate inserts. The textile substrate inserts contain visual images, such as printed logos or advertisements. The modular floor mat is advantageous for use by businesses in entryways and other locations where advertising or messaging is desirable.
Decals for sports floors
A decal assembly applied to a finished wood floor comprising a visible layer, a clear layer adhered to the visible layer, and a floor finish layer, wherein an outer surface of the floor finish has a coefficient of friction similar to the finished wood floor. The floor finish may be water-based or oil-based and the decal assembly may include an adhesion promotion layer disposed between the clear layer and the floor finish layer. The decal assembly may also include the clear layer having a roughened outer surface. The decal may be installed on a wood floor by laminating a clear layer to a visible layer, roughening an outer surface of the clear layer and applying a floor finish to the outer surface of the clear layer after the roughening step. An adhesion promotion layer may also be applied between the clear layer and the floor finish layer.
Display structure applicable with ice and outdoor conditions
The present invention discloses a display structure comprising at least one display module, wherein the display structure comprises at least one substrate layer comprising polymer, glass, ceramic or composite materials and integrated electrically conductive circuitry with electronics, where applicable, and light emitting devices; at least one electrically conductive layer, enabling intelligent control of the light emitting devices; wherein a display module comprises at least one coating or molded layer protecting the display structure from moist and other environmental effects; the display structure further comprises, when applicable, a number of structured, through-holes reaching through the whole display structure; the display structure is configured to be constructed from smaller, manufacturable sized display modules by interconnecting suitable amount of display modules into rows and columns; and the display structure is applicable to harsh environments comprising ice and outdoor conditions. Various coating layers and materials can be selected for the ice application use and for the outdoor use. The corresponding manufacturing method is also part of the inventive concept.
LIGHTED IMAGE DISPLAY ASSEMBLY
Disclosed herein is an image display assembly comprising a frame configured with a groove system comprising one or more grooves or channels of varying depths and thicknesses, for securing a plurality of image sheets, wherein the image sheets may be of like or varying materials and thicknesses. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing an image display assembly, comprising, etching an image onto a first acrylic sheet; applying a painted layer to at least one of a second and third acrylic or Plexiglas sheet, wherein the first, the sheets are commensurate in size; assembling the plurality of layers of sheets into a frame, wherein the frame has a series of channels disposed within the interior of the frame, so that each of the layers is secured within a channel; and a light source secured within the first channel of the frame in order to light the image display.
