Patent ID: 7506466

Claim:
An improved sign/banner support assembly comprised of a generally rectangularly shaped core board and two parallel banner rods, each terminating in an acute angle with respect to a cincture dimensioned to compressibly clinch a round or polygonal pole, and formed of a single length of a springable, flexible wire material, said rods, which are spaced to include an opening allowing the improved banner support to be presented to the pole so that the rods are positioned parallel to the vertical axis of the pole and abut against the pole allowing the core board to be mounted between the rods and pole and held in place in a cinching frictional and mechanical locking manner; said cincture forming an acute angle with respect to the vertical axis of the pole and not sharing a common axis with the pole, hence defining a semi-elliptical shape, which generates a mechanical interference to rotational forces through the plane of the elliptic and provides for a more readily contactable interface between the cincture and the pole so that the installed sign/banner support assembly adopts a fixed position on the pole, allowing simultaneous manipulation of both banner rods during mounting of the core board.
