Abstract:
1. A system for mounting a banner, comprising: a) a first and second upright member, wherein said first and second upright members are spaced apart and each has a front and rear side; b) a first and second banner, said first and second banner having an upper and a lower edge and a left and right side, wherein said first and second banners are disposed between said first and second upright members; c) upper, lower, and intermediate collars disposed on each upright member, wherein said upper and lower collars are fixedly attached to each said upright member, wherein said intermediate collar is slidably attached to each said upright member, wherein each said collar has a front and rear side corresponding to said from and rear side of said upright members; d) a first and second substantially horizontal member being disposed on each said collar, wherein each horizontal member has left and right ends, wherein a first said horizontal member is disposed on said front side of each said collar and a second said horizontal member is disposed on said rear side of each said collar; e) wherein an upper edge of said first banner is disposed on said first horizontal member on said upper collar and a lower edge of said first banner is disposed on said first horizontal member on said intermediate collar, and, an upper edge of said second banner is disposed on said second horizontal member on said upper collar and a lower edge of said second banner is disposed on said second horizontal member on said intermediate collar so that one of the banners can always be viewed by an observer positioned on either the front or rear side of the upright member; and, f) a plurality of first elastic members configured for resilient engagement with said first horizontal member on said intermediate collar and said first horizontal member on said lower collar for absorbing shock, and a plurality of second elastic members configured for resilient engagement with said second horizontal member on said intermediate collar and said second horizontal member on said lower collar for absorbing shock, whereby said system forms a structure providing flexibility to said first and second banner contributing to structural strength resistant to forces produced by high wind conditions.
