The present disclosure provides various embodiments of an apparatus configured to receive and hold signage, such as advertising and/or marketing content, and to increase visibility of such signage in order to free up space on a surface, such as a tabletop. The apparatus may be portable and/or modular. The apparatus may include a body having an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface may at least partially circumscribe a gap configured to receive a support structure. The apparatus may further include at least one extension extending from the outer surface of the body and having a first finger and a second finger separated by a groove. At least the first finger may be deformable away from the second finger to increase the separation by the groove and at least the first finger being configured to exert force toward the second finger when deformed.

A sign post mounting apparatus having a stake coupled to a carrier. The carrier has a sidewall with a plurality of sections, each section is adjacent to two other sections. A first pair of the plurality of sidewall sections are seamlessly coupled to each other and are formed from a seamless sheet; a second pair of the plurality of sidewall sections are seamlessly coupled to each other and formed from a seamless sheet; the first pair of sidewall sections are coupled to the second pair of sidewall sections along a first seam and along a second seam.

A system and method for displaying advertisements on utility poles is provided. In one aspect, the system allows users to generate revenue by placing advertisements on utility poles. The system generally comprises a display, display mount, processor operably connected to the display, power supply, and non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the processor and having instructions stored thereon. The user interface allows users to choose content that may be presented via the displays. Chosen content is transferred to the displays by the processor over a network. The displays may be grouped in ways that allow users to control multiple displays at once. Various permission levels may be used to limit which displays users have access too, allowing various degrees of control for each display of the system.

An adjustable mount, including a front portion, including a handle receiving groove disposed along at least a portion of a length of the front portion to receive at least a portion of at least one door handle therein, and a rear portion removably connected to the front portion to mount the front portion and the rear portion to a door pull.

A safety apparatus having a first half-shell component, a second half-shell component and at least one strip of reflective material affixed to both half-shell components. The first half-shell component has a first interior surface and a first exterior surface and defines a first c-shape cross-section. The second half-shell component has a second interior surface and a second exterior surface and defines a second c-shape cross-section. The first half-shell component and the second half-shell component are configured to form a cylindrically shaped housing when connected to each other. The cylindrically shaped housing allows the apparatus to be attached to a power pole, post or other obstacle. At least one strip of reflective material is affixed to the exterior surfaces of the half-shell components in a manner to provide high visibility.

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.

A multi-position mounting system is provided for securing a wall panel or hanging to a vertical wall, the wall panel or hanging having a front surface facing away from the wall, a back surface opposite the front, and one or more side surfaces connecting the front and back surfaces. In one embodiment, the multi-position mounting system includes a notch disposed in the back surface of the wall panel, the notch having at least three edges, each edge defining a separate sidewall surface. The notch is configured to secure to a bracket affixed to the vertical wall, the bracket configured to separately mate with each sidewall surface of the notch, wherein mating the bracket with an adjacent sidewall surface of the notch slightly rotates the wall panel with respect to the vertical wall.

A repair component for historical markers, and the like, comprises a metal casting including an upper channel dimensioned to receive the lower bottom portion of the original plaque, and a lower collar dimensioned to fit onto the existing post. The plaque may be fastened, welded, glued or otherwise secured within the channel of the repair component. Alternatively, the upper groove of the repair component may include a moveable member forming a jaw that clamps onto the lower edge of the existing plaque. The collar may also be fastened, welded, glued or otherwise secured to the upper end of the pole. Also disclosed is a method of repairing a marker including a plaque with a lower bottom portion that has broken away from a collar fitted to a post.

The invention describes a modular display assembly that may be coupled with a pole or other structure or surface, and secured at an elevated position to be more easily viewed by potential consumers. The assembly may be modular in nature allowing it to support and display one or more customized advertising or marketing displays such as signs, flags and/or helium-free balloons as well as various support apparatus for the same.
