Filed:

Sep 16, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/397467

Inventors:

Daniel A. Griesemer - Sandy UT
Paul F. Bauer - Layton UT

Assignee:

Mobile Impact, Inc. - Layton UT

International Classification:

G09F 1700

US Classification:

40603, 40590, 160378

Abstract:

A mounting assembly includes an elongated mounting bracket and an elongated retention bracket. The mounting and retention brackets are configured for ridged attachment to the side of a structure, such as by bolts. A coupling channel extends along the length of the mounting bracket and communicates with the exterior through a narrow mouth. The coupling channel is configured to slidably receive and retain the top edge of a display sheet. The retention bracket has a plurality of spaced apart holes transversely extending therethrough. Each hole is configured to receive a corresponding spring. Each spring has a first end configured for attachment to the bottom edge of the display sheet. Once the spring is attached to the display sheet, the second end of the spring is passed through the corresponding hole on the retention bracket. A pin is then secured to the second end of the spring, thereby securing the display sheet between the mounting bracket and the retention bracket under the biased tension of the springs.

Abstract:

An assembly for mounting a flexible display sheet to a structure includes an adjustment bracket having a first end and an opposing second end, the display sheet being secured to the first end of the adjustment bracket. A brace is rigidly attached to the structure, the brace having an opening extending therethrough. A coupling pin has a first end and an opposing second end, the first end of the coupling pin being mounted to the second end of the adjustment bracket, the second end of the coupling pin extending through the opening on the brace. An advancing nut is threadedly mounted on the second end of the coupling pin, the advancing nut being configured to bias against the brace so as to advance the coupling pin through the opening on the brace as the advancing nut is threaded onto the coupling pin.
