Abstract:
Banner supports and processes for making and using same. In some examples, a banner support can include at least one end connector having body which defines an aperture that is sized to allow a t-post to extend through the aperture, the end connector including at least one tab and an elongate support structure configured for connecting to a top edge of a banner and having a strength capable at least of supporting the banner, the support structure having an end with an end opening that is configured to selectively receive the end connector tab for attaching the end connector to the support structure in a locked position, and configured to selectively release the tab to at least partially detach the end connector from the support structure.

Claim (Index 18):
A banner support for supporting a banner between at least a first t-post and a second t-post that are installed at a spaced apart distance from one another, comprising:\n an elongate support structure having a first end and a second end and a length that extends between the first end and the second end, the support structure configured to attach to a top edge of a banner and having a strength at least sufficient to support the banner; a first end connector having a body with a tab, the body defining a fixed aperture that is configured to allow the first t-post to extend there through, and wherein the tab is configured to be selectively inserted into the first end of the support structure to a locked position in which when the first t-post extends through the aperture the first t-post is engaged by the first end connector and the first support structure end such that the first end connector is maintained between two studs of the first t-post and the first end of the support structure is supported; a second end connector having a body with a tab, the body defining a fixed aperture that is configured to allow the second t-post to extend there through, and wherein the tab is configured to be selectively inserted into the second end of the support structure to a locked position in which when the second t-post extends through the aperture the second t-post is engaged by the second end connector and the second support structure end such that the second end connector is maintained between two studs of the second t-post and the second end of the support structure is supported.
