Abstract
A bracket apparatus for mounting a cantilevered banner assembly to an upstanding pole. The cantilevered banner assembly has a cantilever strut and the pole has at least one generally planar surface. The bracket apparatus includes a generally C-shaped bracket having apertures for receiving the cantilever strut, at least one fastening strap passing through an aperture in the C-shaped bracket and encircling the pole, and a mounting bracket that is sandwiched between the pole and the C-shaped bracket. The mounting bracket has a first surface engaged with the planar surface of the pole and a second surface that secures the C-shaped bracket to the mounting bracket.
Claims16
A bracket apparatus for mounting a cantilevered assembly to a pole, said cantilevered assembly comprising a cantilever strut, and said pole comprising a first planar surface and a second planar surface, wherein said bracket apparatus comprises:
- a) a generally C-shaped bracket having opposed sidewalls, each said sidewall having a primary aperture adapted to receive said cantilevered strut, and at least one secondary aperture;
- b) at least one fastening strap passing through said at least one secondary aperture in each said sidewall of said C-shaped bracket and adapted to encircle said pole;
- c) a mounting bracket adapted to be sandwiched between said pole and said C-shaped bracket, comprising a first body portion and a second body portion, said first body portion of said mounting bracket having a first surface adapted to abuttingly engage said first planar surface of said pole and a second surface having means for securing said C-shaped bracket to said mounting bracket, said second body portion of said mounting bracket having a first surface adapted to abuttingly engage said second planar surface of said pole.
An apparatus for mounting a banner to a pole, said banner comprising a top having a plurality of loopholes, said pole comprising a first planar surface and a second planar surface, wherein said apparatus comprises:
- a) a cantilevered strut;
- b) a plurality of fastening loops for passing through said loopholes and around said cantilevered strut;
- c) a generally C-shaped bracket having opposed sidewalls, each said sidewall having a primary aperture adapted to receive said cantilevered strut, and at least one secondary aperture;
- d) at least one fastening strap passing through said at least one secondary aperture in each said sidewall of said C-shaped bracket and adapted to encircle said pole;
- and
- e) a mounting bracket adapted to be sandwiched between said pole and said C-shaped bracket, comprising a first body portion and a second body portion, said first body portion of said mounting bracket having a first surface for abuttingly engaging said first planar surface of said pole and a second surface having means for securing said C-shaped bracket to said mounting bracket, said second body portion of said mounting bracket having a first surface for abuttingly engaging said second planar surface of said pole.
An apparatus for mounting a banner to a pole, said banner comprising a sleeve and a plurality of loopholes, said pole comprising a first planar surface and a second planar surface, wherein said apparatus comprises:
- a) a cantilevered strut;
- b) an upstanding strut connected to and extending upwardly from said cantilevered strut;
- c) an upper strut for passing through said sleeve in said banner and connected to said upstanding strut;
- d) a plurality of fastening loops for passing through said loopholes and around said upstanding strut;
- e) a generally C-shaped bracket having opposed sidewalls, each said sidewall having a primary aperture adapted to receive said cantilevered strut, and at least one secondary aperture;
- f) at least one fastening strap passing through said at least one secondary aperture in each said sidewall of said C-shaped bracket and adapted to encircle said pole;
- and
- g) a mounting bracket adapted to be sandwiched between said pole and said C-shaped bracket, comprising a first body portion and a second body portion, said first body portion of said mounting bracket having a first surface for abuttingly engaging said first planar surface of said pole and a second surface having means for securing said C-shaped bracket to said mounting bracket, said second body portion of said mounting bracket having a first surface for abuttingly engaging said second planar surface of said pole.
