Abstract:
1. A device to suspend articles for display from a surface comprising: a. a thin rail of high modulus of elasticity material said rail having rectangular section and indefinite length and a. a thin rail similar in shape to surveyor's tape said rail composed of high modulus of elasticity material said rail having rectangular section and six faces the least of said faces referred to as ends two of said faces greater in area than said ends described as edges the greatest of said faces described conventionally as faces one of which face may be finished to enhance its appearance the dimensions of said ends determined by the weight of said articles to be suspended and the properties of said high modulus of elasticity material said rail having length at least 2.1 times said end's major dimension said length determined by its intended use and b. a ribbon of material of low modulus of elasticity and strong adhesive properties on its faces having dimensions similar to said thin rail but of greater thickness with said ribbon matched and mated to one of the faces of said thin rail with said ribbon having its other face available to be affixed to a surface with the face area of said thin rail said ribbon commonly referred to as double stick foam tape said ribbon having sufficient adhesive strength to support said articles to be displayed and c. a protective liner affixed to the remaining face of said ribbon prior to said ribbon being mounted to said surface with the length of this combination of said rail said ribbon and said protective liner furnished straight in lengths up to about 1 meter or in coiled form in greater lengths permitting cutting of said rail-ribbon-liner assembly to a length suitable to its intended use said liner to be removed from said rail-ribbon before attachment of said ribbon of material to said surface and d. coupling means to link said articles at various and several locations along said rail.
