Display hanging system, apparatus and method

A display hanging system comprising:

• a. a suspensible unit comprising:
• i. a single motorized winder operable to wind a pair of cords simultaneously;
• ii. display holding means adapted for receiving into the unit an upper unmounted edge and peripheral adjacent portion of a display sheet;
• and
• iii. releasable locking means operable to retain said portion when received, so that in use the sheet hangs from the unit in display orientation;
• b. suspension means comprising a pair of cords having first and second opposite ends and being secured at their respective first ends to the winder, and at their distal, second ends to a support structure;
• and
• c. remote control means by which the winder is operable for releasing and winding the cord at least partially from and into the unit, whereby the unit is suspensible at a selectable level below said support structure.

A display hanging system comprising:

• a. a suspensible unit comprising cord-winding means having a single driving motor and display attachment means, by which a display sheet is attachable, so that in use it hangs therefrom in display orientation;
• b. a pair of cords attached to the cord-winding means and arranged to suspend the unit from a support structure in operative orientation;
• and
• c. remote control means by which the winding means is operable for releasing and winding each cord at least partially from and into the unit;
• wherein the display attachment means comprises:
• i. a space for receiving therein an edge-adjacent portion of a display sheet to be suspended, the space being bounded by a wall;
• ii. trapping means comprising a moveable body unsecured within the space, for trapping a display sheet portion when inserted into the space between the body and the wall, against removal;
• and
• iii. releasing means operable to release the sheet portion from the trapping means for removal from the space.

A method of suspending a display sheet from an overhead support structure, the method including:

• a. providing a housing having:
• i. a space inside into which an edge-adjacent portion of a display sheet to be suspended is receivable through an elongate gap in a wall of the housing;
• ii. unattached entrapment means within the space, moveable to entrap the display sheet portion within the space;
• and
• iii. a motorized winding mechanism mounted therein;
• b. inserting said edge-adjacent portion of a display sheet into the space via the gap;
• c. causing the entrapment means to move to a position where it traps the sheet portion against the housing wall;
• d. releasably retaining the entrapment means in said position;
• e. providing a pair of cords and attaching a first end of each cord to the winding mechanism and a second end of each respective cord to the support structure;
• and
• f. operating the winding mechanism to wind the cords for raising the housing to an elevated display position above head height, for enabling viewing of the display sheet from a relatively lower location.
