Abstract
A system and method for installing a ground-based advertising unit is provided. The ground-based advertising unit comprises an aperture for accepting a fastener. A hole is drilled into a surface. An adhesive is applied to the hole. An anchor which is configured to mate with the fastener is inserted into the hole. The adhesive is cured. The fastener is inserted through the aperture. The fastener is mated with the anchor.
Claims15
A method for installing a ground-based advertising unit comprising the steps of:
- providing a ground-based advertising unit comprising an aperture for accepting a fastener;
- drilling a hole into a surface;
- applying an adhesive to the hole;
- inserting an anchor into the hole, wherein the anchor is configured to mate with the fastener;
- curing the adhesive;
- inserting the fastener through the aperture;
- mating the fastener with the anchor;
- and
- applying a sealant to the surface, wherein the hole is drilled into the area where the sealant is applied;
- wherein the surface is a parking lot and the sealant is an asphalt sealant or duct tape.
A method for installing a ground-based advertising unit to a surface of a parking lot comprising the steps of:
- providing a ground-based advertising unit comprising an aperture for accepting a fastener for mounting the advertising unit to the surface of the parking lot;
- cleaning an installation area located on the surface of the parking lot;
- applying a sealant at the cleaned installation area;
- drilling a hole through the sealant and into the parking lot;
- depositing an adhesive into the hole;
- inserting an anchor into the hole such that the anchor is secured to the hole by way of the adhesive, wherein the anchor is configured to mate with the fastener;
- inserting the fastener through the aperture;
- and
- mating the fastener with the anchor;
- wherein the ground-based advertising unit comprises a back unit, a cover, and a track configured to receive the cover in a sliding arrangement, wherein the space between the back unit and the cover defines a cavity configured to received on or more advertisements.
A system for installing a ground-based advertising unit to a surface comprising:
- an anchor configured to be placed within a hole in the surface;
- a fastener configured to mate with the anchor;
- an adhesive configured to secure the anchor to the hole in the surface;
- a cover;
- a back unit comprising:
- a base,
- a back ridge attached to the base,
- two side ridges attached to the base, and
- an aperture configured to receive the fastener;
- and
- a track defined by the back ridge and two side ridges, wherein the track is configured to support the cover in an elevated position, wherein the track is further configured to support the cover in a sliding arrangement;
- wherein the cover and the back unit is adapted to withstand the weight of a vehicle without experiencing inelastic deformation.
