Definitions

  • THIS INVENTION relates to an improved method and apparatus for displaying large photographic prints or transparencies, such as those used for advertising purposes at exhibitions and the like.
  • Photographic prints or transparencies are relatively fragile products. Photographic prints are conventionally mounted on a backing board, such as blackboard or good quality hardboard, resulting in a flat, relatively rigid print for display purposes.
  • a backing board such as blackboard or good quality hardboard
  • Photographic prints or transparencies of the kind in question frequently have very large dimensions and a print size of four by twelve feet (approximately 1.22 m by 3.66 m) is not unusual.
  • the mounting of a photographic print on to its backing sheet is a specialist task involving the use of sophisticated machinery and occupies skilled operators for a considerable period.
  • the mounting of the photographic print has to be done at the factory and the composite print and backing board have then to be transported to the desired site where the display incorporating the print is to be erected. It will be appreciated that transporting these large rigid composite products is cumbersome and expensive, especially if the print is to be moved from site to site periodically.
  • the invention provides, in one aspect thereof, a method of making a display employing a photographic print or transparency, including providing attachment means along the edges of a display sheet comprising a photographic print or transparency, and mounting the display sheet under tension within a peripheral frame using resilient suspension means connected between the attachment means and support means adjustably carried by the frame.
  • a display apparatus suitable for displaying a display sheet comprising a photographic print or transparency which apparatus comprises, a peripheral frame, support means adjustably carried by the frame and resilient suspension means connectable between attachment means provided along the edges of the display sheet and the support means so as to suspend the display sheet under tension within the frame.
  • the flexible reinforcing means generally comprises a tear-resistant backing sheet to which the photographic print is mounted.
  • the backing sheet of the composite display sheet is a layer of nylon fabric or balloon silk which is tear-resistant whilst being a light-weight material.
  • the display sheet comprises a photographic transparency the edges of one surface of which are reinforced with transparent tape.
  • the attachment means provided along the edges of the display sheet comprises a line of spaced-apart apertures formed around the edge of the display sheet, each aperture being provided with a reinforcing eyelet.
  • the support means comprises runners captively received in, but movable longitudinally of, a support channel extending around the frame.
  • the resilient suspension means comprises a respec- . tive helical tension spring connected between each of the attachment apertures and a respective runner.
  • the frame of the display apparatus is demountable and comprises a plurality of frame elements each of which is connected to an adjacent element by a cleat.
  • each frame element is formed with a jointing channel adapted to align with the jointing channel of an adjacent element so as captively to receive a first cleat plate provided on each side of the joint with means for coupling the first plate to a second cleat plate disposed outside the jointing channel so as to clamp the first cleat plate in position in the jointing channel.
  • Figure I shows a display apparatus embodying the invention intended to display a very large photographic print or transparency, for example, a rectangular print or transparency having a width of the order of six feet (approximately 1.83 m)and a length of the order of twelve feet (approximately 3.66 m).
  • a display apparatus embodying the invention intended to display a very large photographic print or transparency, for example, a rectangular print or transparency having a width of the order of six feet (approximately 1.83 m)and a length of the order of twelve feet (approximately 3.66 m).
  • a photographic print I is bonded to a backing sheet 2 (made, for example, of nylon fabric or balloon silk) to form a composite display sheet 3.
  • a transparency is to be displayed
  • transparent tape is adhered to one surface of the transparency at the extremities thereof, that is at the edges of the surface, to strengthen the edges of the transparency to form a suitable display sheet.
  • the display sheet 3 formed using either a transparency or a print is suspended within a demountable peripheral frame 4 assembled from longitudinal frame elements 5 and two transverse frame elements 6.
  • four frame elements 5 are provided.
  • the number of frame elements 5 provided may be any multiple of two, depending on the size of frame required.
  • the number of transverse frame elements 6 may differ depending on size requirements.
  • each longitudinal frame element 5 has a squared end 7 and a mitred end 8.
  • Each of the transverse frame elements 6 is mitred at each end 9.
  • each pair of adjacent ends of the frame elements are connected together by a straight cleat 10 or by a pair of corner cleats 11, 45 as appropriate.
  • the frame 4 is conveniently constructed from an aluminium extrusion having the profile illustrated in Figure 3.
  • the frame presents a vertical front wall 12 formed at its inner edge with an inwardly and rearwardly extending skirt 13 whose free edge 14 defines the picture opening of the frame.
  • the front wall 12 joins a rearwardly extending horizontal side wall 15 terminated by an inwardly extending rear wall 16 having a much smaller height than the front wall 12.
  • the rear face of the front wall 12 is formed adjacent to the skirt 13 with a longitudinally extending jointing channel 17 defined by a pair of facing right-angled rails 18.
  • a similar longitudinal jointing channel 19 is defined on the inner surface of the side wall 15 and at the rear of the side wall 15 by rails 20.
  • a series of attachment apertures 26 is formed around the edge of the display sheet, each of the apertures being reinforced by an eyelet 27.
  • the apertures will, of course, be formed through the transparent tape and reinforced by the eyelets.
  • the display sheet 3 is mounted within the frame 4 by inserting one hooked end 28 of a respective helical tension spring 29 through each attachment aperture 26 and then inserting the other hooked end 30 of the spring 29 through the ring 25 of a respective runner 22.
  • the relative dimensions of the display sheet and the frame are selected so that the outer edge of the display sheet lies behind the front wall 12 of the frame above the inner edge 14 of the skirt 13 that defines the picture opening.
  • the springs 29 tension the display sheet to retain it in a flat condition with the display sheet in contact with the inner edge 14 of the skirt 13.
  • FIG. 2 shows vertical strengthening struts 32 which may be used to brace the longitudinal sides of the frame when necessary.
  • Each strut 32 may be in the form of a length of extruded aluminium tube having a cross-section dimensioned so that the end of the tube forms a close fit in the jointing channel 19 of the side walls 15.
  • the tubular strut 32 has a square cross-section.
  • the vertical strengthening struts 32 cannot be used because the struts 32 would cast shadows on the transparency when the transparency is illuminated from the back.
  • the frame may be secured to a suitable wall.
  • FIG. 5 shows a straight cleat for connecting together the two frame elements 5 constituting a longitudinal side of the frame.
  • This cleat 10 comprises a first cleat member 40 in the form of a strip of, for example, aluminium adapted to be received in the jointing channel 17 of the front wall 12 of the frame so as to span the joint between the two frame elements.
  • a pair of clamping bolts 41 extend captively through respective holes formed in the strip 40 and are passed through corresponding apertures in a second cleat plate 42 disposed outside the channel 17.
  • wing nuts 43 By applying and tightening wing nuts 43 to the bolts-.41, the rails 18 of the channel 17 are clamped between the two cleat plates 40 and 42.
  • the corner cleat I provided for connecting adjacent frame elements 5 and 6 at a corner of the frame is of essentially the same construction as the straight cleat 10, except that the first cleat plate 44 of the corner cleat has two arms extending at right angles to one another.
  • each corner joint is further strengthened by a secondary corner cleat 45 consisting of a first right-angled dihedral cleat plate 46 received in the mounting channel 19 of the top wall and a second right-angled dihedral cleat plate 47 coupled to the first cleat plate by screws 48 and wing nuts 49 so as to clamp the rails 20 of the channel 19 between the plates 46 and 47.
  • the above display apparatus with its flexible display sheet and demountable frame may be conveniently and safely transported to a site, simply erected and then, if necessary, disassembled for transport to another site.
  • the frame of the display apparatus is completely re-usable should the display sheet become damaged or be discarded for any reason, since a new display sheet of appropriate size can simply be substituted for the damaged or unwanted original display J sheet.
  • flexible display sheets for use in the display apparatus of the present invention can be manufactured more economically than the rigid display sheets employed previously, damaged or unwanted sheets can be replaced much more cheaply once a frame has been acquired.
