Definitions

  • This invention relates to a display device.
  • the invention relates particularly to a display device for displaying advertising matter.
  • a known form of a display device for displaying advertising matter is a display flag, such a flag generally comprising a display sheet that is attached to a flag pole. Particularly when used outdoors, wind determines the orientation of the display sheet with respect to the flag pole and also the general visibility of matter applied thereto. In order to enhance visibility of matter applied to the display sheet, it is known to hold the display sheet under tension by the location of elongate elements, secured to and projecting from the flag pole, in seams provided therefor along the operative top and bottom edges of the display sheet.
  • the display flag Is secured to or mounted on the flag pole either in a configuration wherein the flag pole is supported for rotation about its axis, or in a configuration wherein the display flag is rotatable about the axis defined by the flag pole while the flag pole is not rotating about Its own axis, thereby, in both configurations, providing for the tensioned flag to project from the flag pole In a direction determined by the wind.
  • wind direction thus determines the orientation of the display sheet of a flag of the type at any particular time, It will be understood that in certain orientations, the display sheet will only be partially visible or possibly not visible at all from certain spaced locations with respect thereto.
  • WO 2007/022547 A discloses a device for advertising which includes a shaft to be vertically mounted, in use, with an upper connection means proximate the upper end of the shaft for connecting to one end of each of at least two resiliently flexible rods.
  • DE 199 14 220 A1 discloses a flagpole comprising a floor stand and a crossbeam for placing the flag.
  • a rotary bearing (4) is provided in the floor stand of the flagpole and a rotation bearing (10) is provided in the crossbeam on the flagpole.
  • US 2005/000130 A1 discloses a breakaway banner support assembly for mounting to a vertical support structure having at least one mounting member connected to a support structure, a support rod extending along a generally horizontal plane for supporting a flexible banner, and a breakaway and return hinge interconnecting the support rod and said mounting member.
  • DE 100 12 614 A1 discloses a light flag comprising a textile material on which a pictorial representation can be displayed.
  • the first and second display sheets may be flexible, with the respective support arrangements of the first and second display structures, being configured to support the relevant display sheets in a tensioned flag configuration on the support pole.
  • the support pole may be an elongate pole which, in the operative configuration of the display device, can itself be supported for rotation about a longitudinal axis defined along the length of the pole.
  • the support arrangements of the first and second display structures may be mounted to the support pole.
  • the support arrangements of the first and second display structures may be mounted to the support pole in a configuration wherein the display structures are rotatable about the longitudinal axis defined by the support pole while the support pole is not rotating about its own axis.
  • each display structure may include at least one resiliently flexible slender element located in a seam defined therefor by the display sheet for holding the display sheet, in a tensioned flag configuration.
  • the first and second display sheets may be flexible, with the respective support arrangements of the first and second display structures, being configured to support the relevant display sheets in a tensioned flag configuration on the support pole.
  • the support pole may be an elongate pole which, in the operative configuration of the display device, can itself be supported for rotation about a longitudinal axis defined along the length of the pole.
  • the support arrangements of the first and second display structures may be mounted to the support pole.
  • the support arrangements of the first and second display structures may be mounted to the support pole in a configuration wherein the display structures are rotatable about the longitudinal axis defined by the support pole while the support pole is not rotating about its own axis.
  • each display structure may include at least one resiliently flexible slender element located in a seam defined therefor by the display sheet for holding the display sheet, in a tensioned flag configuration.
  • the display sheet of at least the first display structure may have a conventional rectangular perimeter configuration.
  • the support arrangement of the rectangular display sheet may include two elongate resiliently flexible slender elements located in seams defined therefor respectively along the operative top and bottom edges of the display sheet, one end of each slender element being secured to the support pole so that the elements project from the pole in a substantially parallel, spaced configuration in which they hold the display sheet in a tensioned flag configuration.
  • the second display structure may include a substantially rectangular display sheet, with the general plane defined by the first display sheet being perpendicular to and intersecting the second display sheet along a substantially vertical line midway between opposite sides of the second display sheet.
  • the display sheets of the display structures may have a substantially equal vertical height, whereas the horizontal width of the second display sheet may be substantially less than the horizontal width of the first display sheet.
  • the support arrangement of the second display structure may provide for the second display sheet to be curved about an operatively vertical axis defined between opposite sides of this display sheet, wherein the second display sheet defines a convex outer display face.
  • a display device in accordance with the invention, is designated generally by the reference numeral 10.
  • the display device 10 includes a support pole 12, the pole 12 comprising a conventional-type flag pole of any suitable material that can be supported in an operative upright position with respect to the ground, in a configuration in which it is rotatable about a longitudinal axis along its length.
  • the configuration and mode of support with respect to the ground of the flag pole 12 are essentially equivalent to that of any conventional flag pole, this is not described in any further detail herein.
  • the display device 10 includes also a first display structure 14, the display structure 14 including a flexible display sheet 16 and a support arrangement that supports the display sheet in a tensioned flag configuration on the support pole 12.
  • the support arrangement particularly includes two resiliently flexible L-shaped support rods 18 of which the short sections are secured within sockets 19 fixedly attached to the support pole and the long sections project from the pole 12, the long sections being located within seams defined therefor along the respective operative top and bottom edges of the display sheet 16, the location of the support rods 18 with respect to the pole 12 being such that the display sheet 16 is held under tension by the support rods 18, as shown.
  • the display device 10 includes still further a second display structure 20, the display structure 20 again including a flexible display sheet 22 which is held under tension in the configuration shown by a support arrangement.
  • the support arrangement includes two slender elements 24 that are located within seams defined therefor along the respective operative top and bottom edges of the display sheet 22, the elements 24 being curved as shown and are each secured to the flag pole 12 by two resiliently flexible L-shaped support rods 26, the short sections of the support rods being secured with sockets 28 fixedly attached to the support pole and the long sections of the support rods being secured to the two slender elements 24.
  • the location of the second display structure 20 with respect to the first display structure 14 is such that the general plane defined by the display sheet 22 of the second display structure 20 is intersected by the general plane of the display sheet 16 of the first display structure 14 along an operatively vertical line disposed between opposite side edges of the display sheet 22.
  • the width of the display sheet 16, as defined by the operative top and bottom edges of the display sheet 16 is between two and three times wider than that of the display sheet 22, as defined between its opposite side edges, the significance of this width relationship being explained in more detail hereafter.
  • the display device 10 essentially includes five separate display faces to which printed matter can be applied for advertising or other purposes, two of these display faces being defined by the respective opposite faces of the display sheet 16, a third display face being defined by the external display face of the display sheet 22 and two further display faces being defined by the respective internal faces of the display sheet 22 on opposite sides of the flag pole 12.
  • all the display faces can have required advertising, or other matter, applied thereto as determined by the requirements of the display device.
  • the orientation of the display device 10 will be determined by the direction of wind acting thereon, the particular configuration of the first display structure 14 and second display structure 20 being such that the orientation of the display sheet 16 will coincide essentially with the wind direction.
  • the display device 10 illustrates two display structures that each have a substantially rectangular display sheet associated therewith, it must be appreciated that the respective configurations of the display structures and, particularly, of the display sheets thereof, are greatly variable, while still providing for a display device that incorporates the general principles of the device 10 as described.
  • Display sheets of different perimeter profiles may be associated with different support arrangements for holding the display sheets in a tensioned flag configuration and support arrangements clearly may be secured to a support pole in different configurations.
  • a suitable flag pole for the device also can comprise a pole which is configured to allow the respective display structures to be rotatable about the axis defined by the flag pole while the flag pole is not rotating about its own axis, in order to provide for the required rotational displacement of the display device as herein envisaged.
  • the display device of the invention can be associated with one or more additional display structures including a display sheet and a support arrangement that can be supported either on the support pole thereof or on any other display structure, while still providing for the orientation of the display device to be determined by wind direction and by the configuration of the first display structure of the device which incorporates the display sheet that defines the dominant display faces of the display device.
