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 20):
The banner support as defined in  claim 18 , the banner support for supporting the banner between the first t-post, the second t-post and a third t-post that are each installed at spaced apart distances from one another, and wherein the aforementioned support structure is a first support structure, and wherein the tab of the second end connector is a first tab and the second end connector having a second tab, the banner support further comprising:\n a second elongate support structure having first end and a second end and a length that extends between the first end and the second end, the second support structure configured to attach to the top edge of a banner and having a strength at least sufficient to support the banner, and wherein the second tab of the second end connector is configured to be selectively connected to the first end of the second support structure to support the first end of the second support structure; a third end connector having a body with a tab, the body defining a fixed aperture that is configured to allow the third t-post to extend there through, and wherein the tab is configured to be selectively inserted into the second end of the second support structure to a locked position in which when the third t-post extends through the aperture the third t-post is engaged by the third end connector and the second end of the second support structure such that the third end connector is maintained between two studs of the third t-post and the second end of the second support structure is supported.
