10672308 · 2020-06-02 · ·

An apparatus and related methods includes a base attached to an upright structure (such as a street light pole), a mounting bracket that releasably engages the base while supporting a hanging banner, and an install adapter that releasably holds the mounting bracket and banner until the mounting bracket attaches to the base. A removal adapter facilitates disengaging the mounting bracket and banner from the base. The mounting bracket and install adapter (and removal adapter) are attached to a pole and engage (and disengage) remotely and without using separate fasteners, thus allowing a worker to install (or remove) banners high on the upright structure while standing on the ground. The base and mounting bracket have tapered shapes that wedgingly engage, secured by a spring-biased friction retainer. The install adapter and removal adapter have structures that facilitate remote install and removal of the mounting bracket from the base.

Foldable outdoor panel assembly
10577764 · 2020-03-03 ·

A foldable outdoor panel assembly is provided including an outdoor panel and a rotating mount assembly for maintaining the outdoor panel in a desired first orientation. The rotating mount assembly includes a first mount assembly connected to the panel and including a first mount, a first magnet having a first polarity and a second magnet having a second polarity. The rotating mount assembly further includes a second mount assembly having a second mount ratably connected to the first mount and including a third magnet having the first polarity. The second mount is connected to a post or other structure attached to the ground. The position of the first magnet adjacent to the third magnet maintains the panel in the first orientation or in an un-deflected condition while the position of the second magnet adjacent to the third magnet biases the panel from a second orientation or deflected condition back to the first orientation or un-deflected condition.
