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.

The invention discloses a backlit tension fabric popup display, including an exhibit grid frame, backlit grooved straight rods and a plurality of roller-shutter-style LED light bars. A plurality of roller-shutter-style LED light bars are suspended on the light bar hooks between the upper and lower X-shaped pull rods. Four sides on one plane or eight sides on two planes of the exhibit grid frame are all connected to the backlit grooved straight rods by the corner grooved plastic parts at both ends. A display is formed by inserting the silicone strips at the edges of the display into the corresponding grooves of the backlit grooved straight rods. The backlit tension fabric popup display and the LED light bars are perfectly combined, without the black rim, folds or a light leak. In addition, single or double planes are chosen as needed.

A ribband for a stretched fabric three-dimensional structure comprising at least one light source incorporated in the ribband, wherein the ribband comprises two adjacent recesses separated by a tongue designed to receive the fastening elements of the stretched fabrics, wherein each recess comprises a bottom, an inner side wall forming the tongue and an outer side wall, wherein each outer side wall defines a peripheral wing of the ribband.

A winch for a poster hoarding comprising a cable management system, the cable management system comprising a plurality of spaced cable guides spaced around a perimeter portion of the poster hoarding, a primary length of cable having a portion that will extend around cable guides around that perimeter when a poster is fitted and tightened within the hoarding, and a cable tightening mechanism for tightening the poster when fitted. The cable tightening mechanism comprises the winch by which a cable tensioning part can be pulled, either directly or indirectly, for tightening the primary cable length between the adjacent cable guides.

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.

The invention constitutes a device in which flat artwork, like drawings, woodblock prints, photos and posters can be mounted, having the properties that the artwork easily can be circulated from archives into and out of the device without being damaged by mounting. It is, basically, a frame with a back support in the form of a board that can be opened and closed like a door whereby the artwork is mounted by pressure from this board without using tape, photo corners or glue or any other potentially harmful methods.

A sign waving machine platform for street side promotions that incorporates a base frame, a sign waving apparatus plus an upper web to attach accessories including mannequins and electric signs. The sign waving apparatus includes a motor housing, battery, electric motor and bracket assembly that couples the motor drive shaft to a sign frame which moves relative to the housing as the motor drive shaft rotates. Signs can be attached to all sides of the sign frame. The platform attaches at the top only to posts, carts and other so it can freely swing in many directions with the wind. This rugged, lightweight platform has a primary structure made from 2 aluminum tubes; one slides inside the other and telescopes. Fastening occurs using thumb screws attached to the outer tubes and joints that when twisted, pinches the inside interconnecting tubes. The platform stretches in many directions providing numerous configurations.

A marquee banner assembly includes one or more lightweight molding(s) that may be bowed under tension, at least one or more channels configured for the insertion of a flexible sign, and attachment brackets attachable to a substrate which may any vertical surface. The attachment brackets are angled to provide a curvature to the molding when the molding is attached to the brackets. The assembly may employ natural light alone, or any combination of natural light, artificial light.

A banner unit has a retractable storage position and a display position. The banner unit includes a pair of elongated rigid support posts, and a banner sheet that is comprised of a pair of one and other banner segments that each have opposed one and other side edges. The one side edge of each banner segment is secured to respective elongated rigid support posts. The banner unit also includes an elongated tubular sleeve constructed and arranged to be disposed in parallel with both of the pair of elongated rigid support posts, with the other side edge of each banner segment being secured to the elongated tubular sleeve. Each banner segment is constructed and arranged with a re-coil or retractable characteristic providing a tendency to form into a closed coil configuration when the elongated rigid support posts are brought together.
