Unit consisting of the combination of a frame having at least one lateral slot and an image, the image being formed by—a first portion, referred to as the ‘intra-frame portion’, with a surface that is same as or smaller than the surface defined by the frame, and by—at least one second portion, referred to as the ‘extra-frame’ portion, forming an extension of the first portion that emerges out of the frame, the image being designed to be removably inserted into the frame through the slot in such a way that the intra-frame portion is arranged in an area defined by the frame and the extra-frame portion is arranged in an area outside the frame.

The enlargement of photographs for mounting in a graphics display apparatus including a plurality of rectangular modular supports, a plurality of planar covers each releasably engageable over a front side of a support, and a plurality of connectors for releasably connecting adjacent supports. A customer supplies the photograph to a vendor and specifies a required size for printing of the photograph. The vendor prints the photograph as rectangular portions corresponding to a support of the graphics display apparatus. The vendor provides to the customer the supports, the portions of the photographs and/or covers, and the connectors for assembly by the customer of the display apparatus.

A frame assembly including a first elongated frame section and a second elongated frame section connected by a corner connector. The first elongated frame section has a first mortice channel, and the second elongated frame section has a second mortice channel. The corner connector includes a first tenon that fits with the first mortice channel and a second tenon that fits within the second mortice channel. The first tenon and/or the second tenon may provide a spring bias and may interact with the respective first and/or second mortice slots to apply a spring force that holds the elongated frame sections to the corner connector and thereby connects the elongated frame sections together.

An adaptive billboard frame mount system, and methods of use thereof, that is configured to mount to a plurality of fixedly positioned pre-existing poles. The billboard frame mount system includes a frame assembly and a plurality of mount assemblies configured to be coupled to the plurality of fixedly positioned pre-existing poles and the frame assembly such that a formed frame of the frame assembly can be positioned in a display plane that is oriented at a desired angle relative to vertical.

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 lock retainer for facilitating the secured connection of an adjacent pair of wall frame elements to one another by way of a lock cassette having an actuatable grip portion is disclosed. The lock retainer may comprise a flange portion disposed between a proximal portion and distal portion. A cassette compartment may retainingly engage a portion of the lock cassette with the grip portion remaining outward the lock retainer. The proximal portion is configured to be mounted in a retainer mounting aperture in a frame segment of a wall frame element. The lock retainer may include a retainer detent moveable between a securing and releasing positions. The detent may be resiliently biased toward the securing position. The detent may be on a detent lever having a release actuation portion enabling a user to manually overcome the resilient bias. Also disclosed is a modular wall frame system incorporating the lock retainer.

An advertising sign comprises a main housing to accommodate an upright passing therethrough and configured to affix to the upright at a desired height. The main housing presents forward and rearward facing, generally planar, primary advertising surfaces. Retaining assemblies extend along opposite sides of the main housing. Each retaining assembly is configured to releasably retain a secondary advertising insert that presents forward and rearward facing advertising surfaces. Forward and rearward facing upper support panels extend upwardly from the main housing and are configured to support forward and rearward facing advertising onserts thereon. Forward and rearward facing lower support panels extend downwardly from the main housing and are configured to support forward and rearward facing advertising onserts thereon.

A portable advertising platform system for store front, street side and indoor promotions. The platform can elevate signs and products above obstacles. Items are fastened at their tops only allowing them to freely swing; wind resistant. This rugged, lightweight platform is made from plastic or aluminum and consists of several joints interconnected by square shaped insert tubes; thumb screw fastening. Tubes can couple together to form longer members. Joints can rotate 90 degrees to create perpendicular branches. The platform consists of a lower cart with several vertical mounts, supporting an upper web with multiple tiers and overhanging arms. The platform can substantially stretch horizontally, vertically and in width providing numerous configurations. The 4 leg levelers telescope multiple feet both horizontally and vertically to level the cart on rough uneven terrain. Leg levelers also act as durable brakes; friction with ground. Detachable large 8 inch wheels swivel for easy maneuvering.

There is provided a display apparatus, including: a display module; a first side frame and a second side frame on two sides of the display module in a width direction of the display module; a fixing structure on a non-light-emitting side of the display module and detachably connected to the first side frame and the second side frame, the fixing structure being configured to fix the display module; and an adapter, including a first connection part and a second connection part which are fixedly connected. At least one of a first side surface of the first side frame facing the display module or a second side surface of the second side frame facing the display module is detachably connected to the first connection part, and the second connection part is detachably connected to the fixing structure.

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.
