Abstract
A printed media display system includes a media mounting surface carrying discrete male touch fastening elements arranged in a field extending across the surface, and print media in the form of a flexible sheet having a fastening side and a print side, the fastening side featuring engageable fibers in a fibrous field extending across a length and width of the flexible sheet. The system exhibits particularly good wrinkle propagation and engaged alignment properties.
Claims20
A printed media display system, comprising
- a media mounting surface carrying discrete male touch fastening elements arranged in a field extending across the surface, each male touch fastening element having a stem projecting outward and supporting a fiber-engageable head;
- and
- print media in the form of a flexible sheet having a fastening side and a print side, the fastening side featuring engageable fibers in a fibrous field extending across a length and width of the flexible sheet, such that the fastening side of the print media is releasably engageable with the media mounting surface so as to display the print side;
- wherein the media mounting surface and the fastening side of the print media together form a releasable fastening having a Peel Strength;
- and
- wherein the flexible sheet has a Bending Rigidity;
- the Peel Strength and Bending Rigidity related such that the print media display system has a Wrinkle Propagation Coefficient of between 10 and 30.
Print media in the form of a flexible sheet and comprising:
- a textile fabric extending across a major dimension of the flexible sheet;
- and
- a continuous layer forming a coating on one side of the textile fabric, leaving fibers of an opposite side of the textile fabric exposed for releasable touch fastening engagement, the continuous layer underlying a printable surface of the print media on a side of the flexible sheet opposite the textile fabric;
- wherein the flexible sheet is constructed so as to provide a peel strength when tested in accordance with ASTM D 5170-98 using HTH-830 as a hook surface;
- and
- wherein the flexible sheet has a Bending Rigidity so related to the peel strength that the print media display system has a Wrinkle Propagation Coefficient of between 10 and 30.
A printed media display system, comprising
- a media mounting surface carrying discrete male touch fastening elements arranged in a field extending across the surface, each male touch fastening element having a stem projecting outward and supporting a fiber-engageable head;
- and
- print media in the form of a flexible sheet having a fastening side and a print side, the fastening side featuring engageable fibers in a fibrous field extending across a length and width of the flexible sheet, such that the fastening side of the print media is releasably engageable with the media mounting surface so as to display the print side;
- wherein the media mounting surface and the fastening side of the print media together form a releasable fastening having a Shear Strength;
- and
- wherein the flexible sheet has a Torsional Rigidity;
- the Shear Strength and Torsional Rigidity related such that the print media display system has a Torsional Alignment Coefficient of at least 5000.
