Abstract
A mount is disclosed for banners and signs having a pair of spaced-apart stands for attachment to a wall or roof parapet. A first stand of the pair includes a first transverse member for holding one end of the banner. The second stand of the pair includes a longitudinal telescopic member having a second transverse member attached thereto for holding the opposite end of the banner. A gross adjustment means in one of the stands positions the longitudinal telescopic member in a desired pre-selected position to suit the length of the banner, and a fine adjustment means moves the second transverse member to stretch and tension the banner.
Claims6
A mount for stretching and holding an elongate banner in place relative to a fixed surface, the banner having opposed ends, the mount comprising:
- first and second spaced-apart stands adapted to be attached to the fixed surface;
- the first stand including a first mounting base, and a first transverse member including means for holding one end of the banner;
- the second stand including a second mounting base, a tube, and a longitudinal member telescopically located in said tube for movement in a direction the banner is to be stretched;
- a second transverse member connected to the longitudinal member, the second transverse member including means for holding the opposite end of the banner;
- a gross adjustment means coupled between the longitudinal member and the second mounting base for retaining the longitudinal member in a desired preselected longitudinal position on the second stand;
- and
- a fine adjustment means operably connected between the second transverse member and the longitudinal member for incremental longitudinal movement of said second transverse member, the fine adjustment means being a threaded member rotatably mounted in the second transverse member to threadably engage the longitudinal member.

- first and second spaced-apart stands adapted to be attached to the fixed surface;
- the first stand including a first mounting base, and a first transverse member including means for holding one end of the banner;
- the second stand including a second mounting base, and a longitudinal member slidably mounted thereon for movement in a direction the banner is to be stretched;
- a second transverse member connected to the longitudinal member, the second transverse member including means for holding the opposite end of the banner;
- the first stand including a tube and an additional longitudinal member telescopically located therein for movement in the direction the banner is to be stretched, the first transverse member being attached to said additional longitudinal member;
- a gross adjustment means coupled between the longitudinal member and the second mounting base for retaining the longitudinal member in a desired preselected longitudinal position on the second stand;
- and
- a fine adjustment means being a threaded member rotatably mounted in the first transverse member to threadably engage the additional longitudinal member for incremental longitudinal movement of said one of the first and second transverse members.

- and
- a fine adjustment means operably connected between one of the first and second transverse members and the respective first and second mounting bases for incremental longitudinal movement of said one of the first and second transverse members, the means for holding the ends of the banner including means defining elongate C-shaped slots formed in the first and second transverse members, said slots being adapted to hold transverse retaining beads formed on the ends of the banner.
