Abstract
An arrangement for movably supporting a display element, such that said element can be moved essentially in a universal manner relative to a stationary supporting surface. The arrangement comprises a composite rail means having a wooden portion and a metal portion connected thereto. The metal portion provides means for removably holding paper sheets and the wooden portion has an open groove extending along at least part of its length. A stirrup-like structure is provided at one end thereof with a peg having a round bottom portion, said rounded peg portion being received in the groove for axial movement therealong and pivotal movement therein. Means are provided for securing the stirrup-like structure to the display element.
Claims8
An arrangement for slidably and pivotally supporting a display element and comprising:
- a strip including an outwardly open groove along one side thereof, the groove including a wedge-shaped cross-section;
- means for securing the strip to a supporting surface with the groove substantially horizontal and upwrdly open;
- and
- at least one stirrup-like structure including a peg arranged to abut the groove so as to support the stirrup-like structure on the strip, the peg including an end portion of substantially part-spherical shape of such dimensions that the part-spherical surface abuts both the bottom wall of the groove and its side walls when subjected to the load of the stirrup-like structure and a display element carried thereby.
An arrangement for slidably and pivotally supporting a display element and comprising:
- a strip including an outwardly open groove along one side thereof, the groove including a wedge-shaped cross-section with an angle between the side surfaces of between approximately 30.degree. and approximately 80.degree.;
- means for securing the strip to a supporting surface with the groove substantially horizontal and upwardly open;
- at least one stirrup-like structure including a peg arranged to abut the groove so as to support the stirrup-like structure on the strip;
- and
- the peg including an end portion of substantially hemi-spherical shape of such dimensions that the hemi-spherical surface abuts both the bottom wall of the groove and its side walls when subjected to the load of the stirrup-like structure and a display element carried thereby, the peg including a shank portion joined to the end portion, the shank portion being substantially circular cylindrical with a diameter not exceeding the diameter of the sphere.
An arrangement for slidably and pivotally supporting a display element and comprising:
- a strip including an outwardly open groove along one side thereof, the groove including a wedge-shaped cross-section;
- means for securing the strip to a supporting surface with the groove substantially horizontal and upwardly open;
- two stirrup-like structures including a peg arranged to abut the groove so as to support the stirrup-like structure on the strip, each peg including an end portion of substantially hemi-spherical shape of such dimensions that the hemi-spherical surface abut both the bottom wall of the groove and its side walls when subjected to the load of the stirrup-like structure and a display element carried thereby;
- and
- means for attaching a display element to the stirrup-like structures.
An arrangement for slidably and pivotally supporting a display element either across a corner between two walls or along one of the walls without modification and comprising:
- two strips each including an outwardly open groove along one side thereof, the grooves including wedge-shaped cross-sections of same size;
- means for securing one of the strips to one wall and the other strip to the other wall with the grooves substantially horizontal and upwardly open;
- two stirrup-like structures on each of which there is a peg arranged to abut a groove in the strips so as to support the stirrup-like structure on the strip, each peg including an end portion of substantially part-spherical shape of such dimensions that the part-spherical surface abut both the bottom wall of a groove and its side walls when subjected to the load of the stirrup-like structures and a display element carried thereby;
- and
- means for attaching a display element to the stirrup-like structures.
An arrangement for slidably and pivotally supporting a display element without modification either across a corner between two walls or along one of the walls and comprising:
- two strips, each including an outwardly open groove along one side thereof, the grooves including wedge-shaped cross-sections of same size, the angle between the side surfaces of a groove being between approximately 30.degree. and approximately 80.degree.;
- means for securing one of the strips to one of the walls and the other strip to the other wall with the grooves substantially horizontal and upwardly open;
- and
- two stirrup-like structures on each of which there is a peg arranged to abut a groove in a strip so as to support the stirrup-like structure on said strip, each peg including an end portion of substantially hemi-spherical shape of such dimensions that the hemi-spherical surface abut both the bottom wall of a groove and its side walls when subjected to the load of the stirrup-like structures and a display element carried thereby, each peg including a shank portion joined to the end portion, the shank portion being substantially circular cylindrical with a diameter not exceeding the diameter of the hemisphere.
An arrangement for slidably and pivotally supporting a display element comprising:
- a strip member including a top surface, two downwardly projecting side surfaces and a bottom surface;
- a portion of the top surface of the strip member includes an outwardly open groove;
- said groove including a U-shaped, wedge cross-section;
- means for securing the strip to a supporting surface with the groove substantially horizontal and upwardly open;
- at least one stirrup-like structure including a peg arranged to slidably abut only the groove portion of the strip member;
- and
- the peg including an end portion shaped to engage the groove by only abutting against a bottom wall and the side walls of the groove.
