Abstract
A method for assembling an overhead display assembly includes providing a plurality of display segments, each display segment of the plurality of display segments configured to mate with at least one other display segment. The method also includes coupling each display segment to a support stanchion of a plurality of support stanchions and coupling a first display segment to a second display segment to form the display assembly. The display assembly is then raised on the plurality of support stanchions, after coupling the first display segment to the second display segment. The display assembly is also coupled in communication with an electronic gaming machine.
Claims18
An overhead display assembly comprising:
- an overhead display including a plurality of display segments, each display segment of the plurality of display segments being configured to mate with at least one other display segment to form the overhead display, wherein a first display segment of the plurality of display segments includes an inner display panel on a first side of the first display segment and an outer display panel on a second, opposed side of the first display segment;
- and
- a plurality of stanchions coupled to the overhead display, the plurality of stanchions including a first stanchion attached to the first display segment, the first stanchion including a body that is extendable, with the first display segment attached to the first stanchion, between a first configuration and a second configuration to move the first display segment by the first stanchion in relation to one or more electronic gaming machines.
An electronic gaming machine lounge comprising:
- a bank of electronic gaming machines;
- and
- an overhead display assembly comprising:
- an overhead display including a plurality of display segments, each display segment of the plurality of display segments being configured to mate with at least one other display segment to form the overhead display, wherein a first display segment of the plurality of display segments includes an inner display panel on a first side of the first display segment and an outer display panel on a second, opposed side of the first display segment;
- and
- a plurality of stanchions coupled to the overhead display, the plurality of stanchions including a first stanchion attached to the first display segment of the plurality of display segments, the first stanchion including a body that is extendable, with the first display segment attached to the first stanchion, between a lowered configuration and a raised configuration for raising the first display segment by the first stanchion over the bank of electronic gaming machines.
A method for assembling an electronic gaming machine lounge comprising:
- providing at least one electronic gaming device;
- providing a plurality of display segments, each display segment of the plurality of display segments configured to mate with at least one other display segment to form an overhead display, wherein a first display segment of the plurality of display segments includes an inner display panel on a first side of the first display segment and an outer display panel on a second, opposed side of the first display segment;
- coupling the overhead display to a plurality of support stanchions by attaching the first display segment to a first stanchion of the plurality of support stanchions;
- and
- extending a body of the first stanchion, after attaching the first display segment to the first stanchion, from a lowered configuration to a raised configuration to raise the first display segment over the at least one electronic gaming device.
