Foldable, in-store advertising cover for security system
An in-store advertising cover for installation onto and covering an upright security fixture includes a pair of front and rear, arcuate panels joined together along side, linear edges to form a lens-shaped cross section when the fixture is covered. A crease extends transversely across the arcuate panels between the side edges. The arcuate panels are foldable about the crease when the fixture is not covered, for example, during shipping, and are unfolded during installation. A lower half of the cover is initially installed on the fixture, followed by an upper half. Advertising material is applied on one or both arcuate panels. The advertising material is visible when viewed off to one side of the respective unfolded arcuate panels.
1. A method of installing a hollow, tubular, advertising sleeve having juxtaposed panels folded about a crease line extending transversely across the panels between side longitudinal edges of the sleeve onto an upright security fixture extending upwardly from a floor, comprising the steps of:
unfolding the folded sleeve, and initially fitting unfolded lower sleeve portions of the unfolded sleeve below the crease line onto an upper part of the fixture so that the unfolded lower sleeve portions surround the upper part of the fixture, and subsequently lowering the unfolded sleeve onto the fixture toward the floor until unfolded upper sleeve portions of the unfolded sleeve above the crease line surround the upper part of the fixture;
adhering a pair of mounting tabs on lower edges of the panels together above a lower part of the fixture after said lowering step, the adhered mounting tabs resting on top of the lower fixture part to hold the panels in arcuate mirror-symmetrical shapes on the lower fixture part above the floor; and
printing advertising material on at least one of the arcuate panels to enable viewing of the advertising material off to one side of the at least one arcuate panel.
