Abstract
An inflatable display system with a projection screen on two opposing sides is provided that allows a single inflatable display support to allow viewers to watch the screens on both sides, thereby doubling the number of viewers per inflatable display support without increasing the size of the display support. An opaque material may be placed between the projection screens or integrated into the back of the screens to avoid interference from light from images projected from the opposite side. In this way, a screen operator or user can accommodate viewers on both sides of the display system, essentially doubling viewer capacity without having to set up two inflatable supports or increase the size of the screen/support system.
Claims8
A device for projection images comprising:
- an air supported frame with a first viewing side and a second viewing side opposite the first viewing side, and including a top portion, a base, and a pair of side support sections, wherein the air supported frame includes at least one opening for inflating and deflating the frame;
- a first projection screen attached to the first viewing side;
- a second projection screen attached to the second viewing side, wherein the first projection screen and the second projection screen are parallel to each other and similarly sized;
- and
- an opaque material positioned such that light from images projected onto the first projection screen does not interfere with projections on the second projection screen and light from images projected onto the second projection screen does not interfere with projections on the first projection screen.

- a first projection screen attached to the first viewing side;
- a second projection screen attached to the second viewing side, wherein the first projection screen and the second projection screen are parallel to each other and similarly sized;
- a first lower panel skirt attached to the first viewing side beneath the first projection screen;
- a second lower panel skirt attached to the second viewing side beneath the second projection screen;
- and
- an opaque material positioned between the first projection screen and the second projection screen such that light from images projected onto the first projection screen does not interfere with projections on the second projection screen and light from images projected onto the second projection screen does not interfere with projections on the first projection screen.
