Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a modular sign system, i.e. a sign system which consists of one or more sign elements, any one or more of which can be easily replaced.
  • GB 2255433 discloses a sign board comprising a wall mountable magnetic sheet fitted to a base board.
  • the magnetic sheet accommodates indicia removably mounted onto the magnetic sheet by magnetic attraction.
  • a rigid transparent cover sheet is fitted to the base board by a series of spacers. In use, the cover sheet stands proud of the base board and therefore, does not prevent the ingress of dirt onto the indica via the gaps generated by the spacers.
  • GB 2003640 discloses to all intents and purposes a magnetically attractive screen capable of accepting magnetised indica. The absence completely of a cover sheet will inevitably mean that the indica will become grubby very quickly.
  • WO94/09470 discloses a sunken floor type advertising apparatus whereby a transparent cover sheet of thickness "H" placed over an advertisement placed into the sunken area of depth substantially equal to "H" of the floor effectively raises the sunken floor back up to ground level.
  • a transparent cover sheet of thickness "H” placed over an advertisement placed into the sunken area of depth substantially equal to "H" of the floor effectively raises the sunken floor back up to ground level.
  • Such an arrangement can only be used for floor mounted advertisements and not for upright or wall mounted advertisements. The problem is thus to provide a modular sign system that is not laid flat onto or within a floor and in which individual parts of the sign can be easily and inexpensively replaced without compromising the quality of the signage.
  • a sign for use with one or more replaceable sign inserts comprising a chassis, a continuous border attached to the chassis, and at least one replaceable sign insert within the continuous border is characterised in that the continuous border is a raised border of magnetic material and in that there is also provided a flexible light transmitting cover sheet covering the sign insert; the flexible light transmitting cover sheet comprising a magnetically attractive coating along the edges of its undersurface adapted to hold the flexible light transmitting cover sheet against the continuous raised border of magnetic material under magnetic attraction.
  • the magnetic backing sheet comprises magnetic tape which is attached to the chassis so as to form a frame for the sign insert(s), and the undersurface of the flexible light transmitting cover sheet contains a coating of a magnetically attractive material which conforms to the magnetic tape.
  • the magnetic attraction between the magnetic tape and the magnetically attractive material on the flexible light transmitting cover sheet retains the sign insert(s) in position.
  • the flexible light transmitting cover sheet itself may function as the sign insert, for example, if the sign indicia is printed on the undersurface of the flexible light transmitting cover sheet.
  • the protective sheet may be laminated to a paper, plastic or other light weight carrier which contains the sign indicia.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show a free standing sign having a chassis 100 configured as shown so that it can rest on a horizontal surface with a curved, slightly inclined supporting surface.
  • a flexible magnetic backing sheet 102 is supported on the curved surface of the chassis 100.
  • the flexible magnetic backing sheet 102 in may be uniform in cross section throughout, but in this embodiment, it possesses a raised border 104.
  • the flexible magnetic backing sheet 102 may be held in place by means of an adhesive or the flexible magnetic backing sheet 102 may be made of double sided magnetic tape in which case it can be magnetically adhered to the chassis 100 if the chassis is made of a ferrous material.
  • the flexible magnetic backing sheet 102 comprises a commercially available magnetic tape sold by Flexmag under the trademark ULTRAMAG.
  • This material may be about .05 mm thick and can easily be embossed with alignment ribs without affecting the magnetism of the flexible magnetic backing sheet 102.
  • the alignment ribs may be formed by conventional hydroforming processes. Hydroforming is an inexpensive way of forming ribs to enable the flexible magnetic backing sheet 102 to accept an insert 103 of any configuration. In addition to a rectangular insert 103, circular, triangular and other unusual shapes can be defined in the flexible magnetic backing sheet 102 by the moulded alignment ribs.
  • a single sign insert 103 is magnetically retained on the flexible magnetic backing sheet 102.
  • the sign inserts 103 are "disposable" and, preferably, made of or include a material which is magnetically attracted to the flexible magnetic backing sheet 102.
  • These inserts may comprise a thin sheet or veneer, for example paper, plastic, wood, Formica (egistered Trade Mark), aluminium, etc. having an inexpensive magnetically attractive coating on the side facing the flexible magnetic backing sheet 102.
  • the term "magnetically attractive coating” is intended to include any substance which can be coated or spread onto a supporting surface, e.g. paper or film, and which is magnetically attracted to a magnetic surface.
  • the magnetically attractive coating may be a ferrous material comprising 60% conventional clear silk screen ink (NazDar type 9700) mixed with 40% hydrogen reduced iron powder (325 grit).
  • This ferrous ink may be silk screened or screen printed onto the back of the sign inserts 103.
  • the quantity of iron powder and the thickness of the coating can be adjusted to control the magnetic attraction between the backing sheet and the sign inserts.
  • Sign indicia can be printed electronically on the sign insert 103 using laser or inkjet printers, or electrostatic copiers. Other conventional printing processes may also be used. A large substrate may be precut to conform to the desired sign insert specifications so that the sign inserts 103 can be separated after printing. Since they can be printed quickly and on short notice, even perhaps at the user's facility, despite their low cost and interchangeability, the sign inserts 103 nevertheless give the impression of professionally produced signage. After printing the sign inserts 103 may be laminated with a transparent film to protect the image and background.
  • a wide variety of different types of sign inserts 103 can be used with the invention.
  • a laser printed paper insert may have the magnetically attractive coating screen printed on its back surface.
  • a protective gloss or matte laminate may be applied to the front surface of the sign insert 103 before or after the coating is applied.
  • the flexible magnetic backing sheet 102 is embossed to include a raised magnetic border 104 which retains the sign insert 103.
  • Heat forming (taking care that the heat does not destroy the magnetism) and cold die stamping may also be used to emboss the flexible magnetic backing sheet 102.
  • the sign is covered by a flexible, light transmitting cover sheet 106 having a ferrous coating 107 along its edges.
  • the ferrous edge coating 107 is magnetically attracted to the raised magnetic border 104 to retain the transparent sheet 106 and provide a seal as well as a vandal resistant "lock".
  • This arrangement it is possible to retain a paper or plastic sign insert 103.
  • This arrangement is particularly useful with curved signs since it enables the flexible light transmitting cover sheet 106 to conform to the shape of the sign
  • the flexible light transmitting cover sheet 106 provides protection from the environment and scratch resistance. If a matte acrylic is used, glare is eliminated and the appearance enhanced.
  • the flexible light transmitting cover sheet 106 may extend over the entire sign or any portion thereof. Two or more flexible light transmitting cover sheets 106 may be provided if desired. In Figure 1, the flexible light transmitting cover sheet 106 is physically mounted in an upper frame member 108, but it may also be supported in either of the vertical members or in a bottom frame member 110.
  • Figs 3-5 show an embodiment of the invention similar to the embodiment of Figs. 1 and 2, used to retain a paper or plastic sign insert 103 which contains no magnetically attractive material.
  • the same numbers are used in describing the elements of this embodiment as were used to identify the corresponding elements shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
  • the sign is concave and the magnetic tape 102, again, forms a raised border 104 around the periphery of the chassis 100.
  • the sign insert 103 does not include a magnetically attractive coating on its back, but is cut to fit within the raised border 104 formed by the magnetic tape 102.
  • the undersurface of the transparent cover 106 contains a ferrous coating 107 on its edges which conforms to the magnetic tape 102, whereby the attraction between the ferrous coating and the raised border 104 retains the sign insert 103 within the raised border 104, between the rear surface of cover 106 and chassis 100.
  • the upper edge of the cover sheet 106 is adhesively retained or pressure fit within a slot (not numbered) in upper frame member 108.
  • a border 111 is printed on the upper surface of the cover 106 to hide the ferrous coating 107.
  • the protective cover 106 may be made of many different light transmitting materials.
  • a preferred material is Lexan® polycarbonate sheet, the thickness of which may be selected depending on the size of the sign.
  • a second magnetic tape 112 may be adhesively attached to the upper surface of transparent cover 106 at the top of the sign.
  • the header 114 is similar to the sign inserts previously described and includes a magnetically attractive coating on its rear surface which is attracted to the magnetic tape 112.
  • the chassis 100 includes the curved face on which the magnetic tape is mounted and an integral base 118 which supports the sign.
  • the base has the same radius as the sign face which permits the entire chassis 100 to be rolled in a single piece.
  • the base 118 is then formed by brake-forming with a single bend.
  • FIGs. 6 and 7 Another embodiment of the invention is shown in Figs. 6 and 7.
  • the chassis 100 is flat and the header is printed directly on the exposed surface of the flexible light transmitting cover sheet 106.
  • the magnetic tape forming the raised border 104 conforms in shape to the outer periphery of the sign, including the upper portion of the header. Again, the magnetic tape provides the raised border 104 for the sign insert which is not magnetically attracted to the chassis 100.
  • the shaded portions of Fig. 6 represent the printed material 111. Printing in this case can be done, for example, by ink jet or screen printing.
  • Figs. 8 and 9 illustrate a sign insert in which the sign is printed directly on the transparent cover 106.
  • the sign indicia, shown at 120 are printed in reverse on the back of the sheet 106.
  • the background 122 is then printed and the magnetically attractive coating 107 applied to the background 122. Any suitable printing process, including screen printing, roller coating or spraying may be used to apply the indicia 120 and background 122.
  • a large transparent cover sheet 106 may be printed with a multiplicity of different sign inserts at a single time.
  • the individual sign inserts may be separated by "kiss cut” die cuts. This would enable the user to easily separate the individual sign inserts at the time of use.
  • Fig. 10 shows another structure similar to the sign shown in Figs. 8 and 9.
  • the sign background 122 and indicia 120 are printed in customary fashion on a paper or plastic carrier 124.
  • the back of the carrier 124 may be coated with vinyl 128 to which, in turn, is applied the magnetically attractive coating 107.
  • This element is then laminated to the transparent cover sheet 106, for example, adhesively.
  • the purpose of the vinyl 128 is to isolate the carrier 124 and ferrous coating 107 and the vinyl may not be required in all cases.
  • the chassis 130 shown in the form of a surfboard, includes a shaped periphery forming a series of recessed areas 132 for receiving different sign inserts 134.
  • the magnetic tape in this case, is placed in each of the recessed sections which function to automatically align the various sign inserts.
  • a cover sheet is not used and the sign inserts are therefore coated with the magnetically attractive material.
  • a transparent laminate or coating may be applied to the exposed surface if needed.
  • the chassis may be made of plastic, metal or other material.
  • the chassis is concave, it is well suited to a lighted sign with the light mounted within upper or lower trim caps, in which case the light tends to fall more directly on the contents of the sign.
  • the chassis may be also be made of a transparent material (for example acrylic) in which case it can be lit from the back. If the chassis is curved, the curve will be beneficial in that it will tend to even the illumination on the face of the sign and avoid "hot spots".
  • the invention may be in the form of a self-supporting sign or it may be in the form of a sign which is mounted on a wall or hung from a ceiling. Size, of course, is not material and indeed the principles of the invention are particularly adapted to large posters which, for example, may be mounted on individual stands.
  • FIGs 12-15 Such a version of the invention is shown in Figures 12-15 which shows a self-supporting curved stanchion 140 intended to rest on a floor.
  • the sign is supported between upper and lower bars 141 and 142, respectively.
  • the basic sign construction may be that which is shown in Figures 3-5, i.e. with the magnetic tape forming a frame for the sign insert 103, the sign insert being retained in the frame by the flexible, light transmitting protective cover 106 (see Figs. 13 and 14).
  • the arrangement shown in Figures 12-15 permits the poster holder to be divided horizontally into two or more sections with independent light transmitting protective covers.
  • the plastic or metal chassis may be made of a flexible material which is forced to conform to a curved configuration by wedging it between the upper and lower horizontal bars 141 and 142.
  • Figures 14 and 15 show a construction of the upper and lower bars 141 and 142, respectively, which has particular utility in mounting relatively large signs such as posters.
  • Each of the bars may be a metal extrusion (for example, aluminum) including lower and upper channels 148 and 150.
  • Contemplated in alternative embodiments is a laminated sign in which the magnetically attractive coating is applied to a clear laminating film.
  • the printed sign (on paper or any other medium) can then be sandwiched between the ferrous coated laminating film and a top layer of laminating film to provide a durable, laminated sign insert 103.
  • the magnetically attractive coating is printed directly onto an adhesive film, for example, ScocthcalTM ElectroCutTM vinyl film (sold by 3M Company).
  • an adhesive film for example, ScocthcalTM ElectroCutTM vinyl film (sold by 3M Company).
  • the thus coated selfadhesive film after removal of its protective coating, can be applied to the back of photographs, menu listings, or any other sign insert for magnetic application to the magnetic sheet.
  • the magnetically attractive coating could also be printed on self-adhesive paper, such as die-cut labels, letter forms, or promotional "snipes" for the same purpose.
  • a light clear protective coating e.g., a clear screen printing ink or lacquer spray
  • a clear screen printing ink or lacquer spray may be applied to the coating. This will provide a seal for the coating mixture which may be somewhat "chalky”. It will also inhibit rusting which can occur if a ferrous coating is exposed to water.
  • the invention contemplates every possible device for physically supporting the magnetic sheet(s) 102 so that the individual sign inserts 103 can be easily changed.
