Abstract

The present invention provides a modular advertising system. One object of the current invention may be to provide a modular advertising system that may be secured to a pole or other external surface and elevated by a user to a desired height without the need of a ladder or lift. Another object of the current invention may also be to provide a quick-release assembly that may be used to quickly couple and de-couple the assembly from a pole or other external surface/structure. Another object of the current invention may be to provide a modular assembly that can be adaptable to a number of surfaces, such as a pole surface, ground surface or horizontal surface. An additional object of the current invention may be to provide a modular advertising display having interchangeable modular structures that may be configured to vary the position and number of advertising displays presented to consumers.

Claims (42)

7. A modular advertising flag display as described in claim 1 wherein said pole comprises a pole selected from the group consisting of: a square pole, a round pole, and an irregular shaped pole.

8. A modular advertising flag display as described in claim 1 wherein said modular flag display comprises a modular flag display having:

an upper bracket coupled to a lower bracket by at least one installation rod wherein said installation rod is positioned within a support sleeve on the vertical axis of a flag;

a stem positioned within a support sleeve on the top horizontal edge of said flag and further coupled with said upper bracket; and

a stem positioned within a support sleeve on the bottom horizontal edge of said flag and further coupled with said lower bracket.

9. A modular advertising flag display as described in claim 8 wherein said upper bracket comprises an upper bracket having one or more angled display holders.

10. A modular advertising flag display as described in claim 1 and further comprising at least one helium-free balloon configured to be coupled with said one or more angled display holders.

11. A modular advertising flag display as described in claim 10 and further comprising a balloon stem coupler configured to secure the helium-free balloon with the angled display holder.

12. A modular advertising flag display as described in claim 11 and further comprising a balloon stem configured to secure the balloon stem coupler with the helium-free balloon.

13. A modular advertising flag display as described in claim 12 and further comprising a balloon coupler configured to be coupled with either said balloon stem or said balloon stem coupler.

14. A modular multi-flag advertising display comprising:

at least one modular bracket configured to be capable of being secured around a pole;

a plurality of angled bracket each having at least one display holder and further configured to be coupled with the modular bracket through a modular insert coupler;

at least one modular flag display secured by each of said display holders of said angled brackets;

a flexible extension connector configured to be coupled with a rod coupler on at least one of the angled bracket and further coupled with at least one installation rod; and

a rod base support configured to secured said at least one installation rod and further be secured to said pole through one or more band clamps.

15. A modular multi-flag advertising display as described in claim 14 wherein said modular bracket comprises an interlocking modular bracket.

16. A modular multi-flag advertising display as described in claim 14 wherein said modular insert coupler comprises a bracket adaptor.

17. A modular multi-flag advertising display as described in claim 14 wherein said rod base support comprises a rod base support having one or more band apertures.

18. A modular multi-flag advertising display as described in claim 14 wherein said one or more band clamps comprises one or more metal band clamps.

19. A modular multi-flag advertising display as described in claim 14 wherein said pole comprises a pole selected from the group consisting of: a square pole, a round pole, and an irregular shaped pole.

20. A modular multi-flag advertising display as described in claim 14 wherein said modular flag display comprises a plurality of modular flag displays each having:

an upper bracket coupled to a lower bracket by at least one installation rod wherein said installation rod is positioned within a support sleeve on the vertical axis of a flag;
