Abstract
A modular banner kit is provided having a trainable surface support element, a spindle component configured for training of the trainable surface support element therearound, a targeted illumination feature operable to selectively increase the visibility of the trainable surface support element, and a take-up action module configured to drivingly rotate the spindle component to thereby effect winding of the trainable surface support element onto the spindle component or to effect unwinding of the trainable surface support element from a partially or fully wound-up condition. A method for operating the modular banner kit and an entertainment venue are also provided.
Claims20
A modular banner kit comprising:
- a trainable surface support element;
- a spindle component configured for training of the trainable surface support element therearound;
- a targeted illumination feature operable to selectively increase the visibility of the trainable surface support element;
- and
- a take-up action module configured to drivingly rotate the spindle component to thereby effect winding of the trainable surface support element onto the spindle component or to effect unwinding of the trainable surface support element from a partially or fully wound-up condition.
A method of deploying a banner, the method comprising:
- providing a modular banner kit having a banner, a spindle component configured for training of the banner therearound, a take-up action element configured to drivingly rotate the spindle component to thereby effect winding of the banner onto the spindle component or to effect unwinding of the banner from a partially or fully wound-up condition, and an illumination element operable to emit illumination at least a portion of which is incident upon the banner and the spindle component;
- and
- operating the take-up action element to drivingly rotate the spindle component so as to thereby drivingly raise or lower the banner;
- and
- operating the illumination element to emit illumination.
An entertainment venue comprising:
- a roof structural component;
- a plurality of modular banner kits suspended by the roof structural component, each modular banner kit comprising:
- a trainable surface support element;
- a spindle component configured for training of the trainable surface support element therearound;
- a targeted illumination feature operable to selectively increase the visibility of the trainable surface support element;
- and
- a take-up action module configured to drivingly rotate the spindle component to thereby effect winding of the trainable surface support element onto the spindle component or to effect unwinding of the trainable surface support element from a partially or fully wound-up condition.
