The present invention relates to an improved signboard, in particular a signboard of the type in which the contents of the signboard are incorporated on a flexible material.

Until relatively recently, it was customary to make signboards made of acrylic material when it was necessary to use signboards on large signage, especially on the front of a shopping center and located on a support adjacent to an area.

The acrylic signage is very satisfactory in some respects, but it has various problems such as the limited size of the acrylic plate that can be used especially when a large signage is required, and the large acrylic plate is difficult to handle.

Over the past few years there has been a tendency to use signboard fabrics for these common types of signboards, which are made of woven materials that provide a relatively smooth surface of synthetic plastics, so long signboards can be Overcoming the major drawbacks of acrylic signage is that the material can be cut out from the rolls and made immediately, and if the need to create a signboard that is wider than the width of the roll, the fabric is easily bonded to provide the required size of cotton. .

This surface treatment can be handled by a well-known signboard production method, and in fact, its durability is as strong as acrylic signboards and may actually be more than that.

One drawback of this type of signage is that, to date, the method of adhering the flexible material to the frame of the signage is very complicated and typically uses a complicated and expensive extrusion method.

In addition, it was difficult to seal the signboard in the correct position, and when flexible materials were to be applied along the edge of the signboard, it was often necessary to attach the signboard and then insert it.

For this reason, signs that would otherwise be popular were not widely used.

An object of the present invention is to provide a signboard of this general type, the connecting device is basically simple and inexpensive, and at the same time can be easily maintained by putting the hand inside the signboard containing the lighting device.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a signboard that can directly replace the acrylic signboard surface in the same box as the original signboard.

The present invention is a signboard having a flexible surface in a broad sense, the auxiliary means which is provided at the periphery of the signboard body at or near the weave edge of the signboard and is capable of accommodating such an extension and thereby the auxiliary means. Also included in the scope of the present invention is a signboard that also has a device for moving to the signboard surface to apply tension to the fabric.

The signboard has a member sewn around it with a pocket formed of rope or other signboard material, such that the rope or member cooperates with a projecting member with open sides or a complementary member with the edge of the signboard seized therein. It is desirable to.

Alternatively, the extension may be connected to the edge of the signboard by sewing, welding or adhesive. The compact is connected to the body of the signboard or adjacent to it to provide tension to the fabric of the signboard.

The signboard of the present invention not only provides a device capable of recognizing a complete signboard right now, but also provides a device for fitting the signboard according to the present invention to a standard signboard box, and the finished signboard can have the same dimensions as the original signboard. The present invention also provides an apparatus capable of incorporating the entire signage assembly of the present invention into a conventional signage box.

In order to more easily understand and implement the present invention, three embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the frame base 10, which is an aluminum protrusion, is coupled to the channel track 11 and the tension control member 12.

The frame is basically designed for purpose and includes a downwardly extending extension 20 which has a continuous surface 21 on which the channel track is supported but against it and fits within the channel 30 of the channel track. It is supposed to be correct.

The frame includes a recessed upper portion 22 that can accommodate the trim cover 13 and a fork 23 that can be coupled to the box member as described below. The vertical recesses 24 are also provided in the frame, and the recesses 24 can accommodate studs and the like described later. In addition, there is a longitudinal recess 25 in the frame that can accommodate the extension 42 of the tension adjusting device 12.

The channel track 11 has a substantially vertical longitudinal recess 31 which is open along its inner edge 32 and cooperates with the edge of the signboard surface 14.

As shown, this edge comprises a cylindrical member 80, which is preferably a rope and is surrounded by a roll of flexible material 51 on a signboard surface that can be sewn or welded to the edge 52. . The channel track 11 also has a surface 33 adjacent to the continuous surface 21 of the frame as described above, and has a bending member 34 engaged with the recess 43 in the tension adjusting member 12.

Each tension adjusting member 12 is composed of three components: a block 40, an arm 41, and a screw 44 or bolt that is tightened into the lap opening 45 in the block 40. Therefore, by rotating the screw 44, the relative position of the block 40 and the arm 41 can be varied, which affects the tension of the signboard as described later.

In order to clarify the interaction between the components, the first embodiment of the signboard is described according to FIGS. 1 to 3 as follows.

The signboard can be seen as a double-sided cabinet, and the signboard has a frame 50 around the quadrilateral shape, and the upper member 51 of the frame is as shown in FIG.

The frame 50 can be freely adjusted according to the size if necessary, and is actually made of a metal plate, but may be any material as long as it can be tightened according to the size of the frame if necessary. The frame member 10 is formed by the edge 52 having a mitered joint so that the fork 23 is positioned on one end of the peripheral frame 50.

As shown in FIG. 2, the frame 50 and the frame member 10 are connected by a locking member 55, which has a suitable arm and recess 26 provided on the frame member. There are complementary arms and recesses 56 for.

The locking bolt 59 may pass through the opening 58 in the member 55 and the nut 57 may be tightened firmly to complete the assembly. It is a matter of course that the number of the locking assemblies described above can be varied according to the size of the cabinet to be manufactured.

The required signboard surface 14 is formed of a rope 80 which is a cylindrical member located around the edge of the periphery thereof, which is held in the signboard surface by a device that is intimately welded or welded to the rope surface 81.

This single welding can be carried out before or after the signboard is prepared, and it is also an advantage that the signboard of the present invention has a substantial advantage over the signboard having the conventional flexible surface, whereby the signboard is assembled when the signboard is assembled. It does not stumble or distort. Most of the conventional flexible surface signage had to be put in place, tensioned and then the surrounding materials must be combined.

The channel track is placed at the edge of the signboard by moving it vertically between the track and its adjacent podium, and the channel 30 can be positioned on the arm 20, which is an extension of the frame downward, and the tension adjustment at the released position. The member 12 may be fixed between the recess 25 of the frame member and the flexure member 34 of the channel track by the recess 43 and the extension 42, respectively.

By selecting the position of the tension member and tightening the tension member, the signboard surface may be pulled taut or placed in the required position with respect to the frame. By doing so, it can be tensioned in a very accurate position and can be adjusted simply by loosening the screw 44 and moving the tension adjusting member if necessary, or by installing another tension adjusting member if necessary. This adjustment is very simple because the head of the screw 44 can be easily grasped.

When the signboard surface is in the required tensioning position, it is only necessary to complete the signboard by placing the trim cover 13 on the signboard, and one arm 60 of the trim cover is engaged with the upper part 22 of the recess in the frame and (61) or the like, and another arm (62) of the trim cover (13) extends to the front of the positioning and adjustment mechanism, which has an end (63) bent inward near the signboard surface. have.

When the position of the trim cover is fixed, the signboard is completed. When it is necessary to maintain the signboard according to the present invention, by first loosening the screw 61 to remove the trim cover 13, it becomes possible to maintain or repair.

For example, if it is necessary to access the inside of the cabinet, it is only necessary to loosen the screws 44 and lift the entire signboard surface out of the cabinet. When maintenance work is necessary to completely replace the bulb, etc. simply replace the tension adjusting member 12, pull the sign again tight, and replace the trim cover.

In the case of the conventional flexible signboard, this operation could not be reliably performed. When access to the signboard was required, it was usually necessary to install a monitoring or pivot surface in the cabinet so as not to disturb the signboard surface. .

If it is necessary to simply change to another signboard or replace the flexible face due to damage, remove the trim cover, loosen the signboard, remove the signboard surface and put the channel track back on the new signboard, which is fully prepared beforehand. Simply replace the tensioning member, tension it properly, and replace the trim cover. Such work can be easily and quickly performed by one or two workers depending on the size of the signboard, and the result is very satisfactory.

In FIG. 4, the assembly is substantially the same as the assembly of the above embodiment, but is provided with a signage box or signage body 70 as shown on one surface 71 alternately in the cabinet, There is an inwardly facing flange 72. This can be done with a standard signage box or main body.

In this embodiment, the bolt can be moved along the recess 24 to the required position, and the frame member is then framed by the bolt 73 and the nut 74 as shown in FIG. It can be fastened to the flange 72 to form a signage box including a member.

Once this position fixing operation is completed, the signboard is completed by mounting the channel track and the tension adjusting device in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment and placing the trim cover in place.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 5 shows an apparatus for providing a front panel.

In this embodiment, the frame member 110 is arranged in a different direction from the frame member 10 shown in FIG. 1, and the channel track 111 is also different from the channel track 11 shown in FIG. Lies in a different position. The tension adjusting member 12 may be the same as the tensioning device of the above-described embodiment.

In this embodiment, the vertical housing member 13 is not faced down but is facing up and out, and the channel truck 111 is placed on the surface 121 facing up and out.

The recess 134 of the channel track is parallel to the surface direction as the recess 25 in the frame member shown in FIGS. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the tension adjusting member 112 can be disposed between the recesses 125 and 134 so that the channel track 111 can be pulled below the surface 121 of the frame member.

As in the outer edge, the frame member has an extension portion 170, and the extension portion has an outer curved surface 171, and the surface of the sign 14 passes through the outer curved surface 171 across the body 70, The rope 50 in the signboard is arranged to be placed in the recess 131.

Functionally, the tension regulating member 112 can function in exactly the same manner as the similar tension regulating member 12 of the above-described embodiment. In this case, however, the surface of the signboard ends adjacent to the edge of the surface, the trim cover 113 is quite long and the first member 160 is located in the recess 122 in the frame by screws or the like. There is. The front end 163 of the trim cover extends slightly beyond the edge of the signboard and is substantially parallel to the top of the curved surface of the frame 110.

In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the surface of the signboard can be completely prepared at the factory, and it is easy to mount or adjust, so that the work can be easily performed with a minimum of workers. It is equivalent to the above, and has the features of the previous embodiments.

In addition, there is a feature that the signboard can be easily removed in order to put a hand on the signboard body or replace the signboard itself. Although not shown, the frame member 110 is provided with a vertical recess 124 which can be identical to the recess 24 of the above-described embodiment, so that the connection as shown in FIG. 4 can be easily made.

This embodiment is most useful when fitting a signboard to an existing signboard body.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is similar to the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, which may be applied when it is impossible to change the outside standard of the signboard for aesthetic reasons or to comply with the requirements of various regulations of the local government. In the first can be fitted to the standard of the sign box, it is possible to replace the acrylic surface designed to fit directly to the flexible surface sign according to the present invention.

In this case, a bracket 180 is provided which is connected to the recess 122 by screws 161, which bracket extends slightly above the member 170, and has an inwardly facing flange of the disc box 17. There is an outward flange 181 facing 172. Preferably, the thickness of the flange 181 is equal to the thickness of the acrylic surface.

As shown in the drawing, a tubular member 185 connected to the frame member 110 may be provided to firmly hold the lower assembly. The entire signage is placed within the scope of the interpane box and the trim cover 186 of the interpane box is placed thereon to keep it in place.

In the illustrated embodiment, the signboard is displayed in a quadrangular shape, but may be in other forms. Signboards with curved edges can also be produced. In this case, projections that can accommodate ropes should be bent.

This can be done to make a relatively hard but deformable plastic protrusion, and to attach it to another protrusion as short as possible to provide the overall required hardness. In the embodiment, a circular member such as a rope is sewn to the edge of the signboard.

In practice, this is the simplest way to provide an extension and gives very satisfactory results but other methods are available. For example, the edges of the signboard material may be joined by welding or bonding, and may be replaced by a rope or another member (eg a plastic extrudate). In this case, the extrudate can be in a non-circular shape and it will work efficiently if it can be placed in the extension line on the channel track. The extension on the channel track is preferably complementary to the member.

Otherwise, a separate member having a tail or the like may be provided by a method such as extrusion, and the tail may be connected to the edge of the signboard material, and such a connection may be made by sewing, welding or bonding. In yet another embodiment, the connection bends the fabric end of the signboard onto the extension member and then connects the fabric to the extension member with a clip or the like.

Signboard of the present invention has a number of advantages over the conventional signboard having a flexible surface.

Firstly, the signboard according to the present invention can be produced irrespective of the frame, and therefore it is not necessary to form the frame when making the signboard surface.

Secondly, the cotton thus formed can be rolled up like a roll. This sends the entire signboard to the site, cuts it to the right size with the various components, assembles the box on site, lays the signboard and seals the signboard, knowing that the finished signboard will be correctly positioned relative to the frame. It means you can.

Third, if the signboard surface is damaged or the image needs to be changed, the signboard surface needs to be changed, so the new signboard surface can be easily manufactured at the factory because the signboard dimensions are known. It can be placed on the frame with the confidence that it will be released in the field and complete an accurate seal.
