Abstract

The invention describes a modular display assembly that may be coupled with a pole or other structure or surface, and secured at an elevated position to be more easily viewed by potential consumers. The assembly may be modular in nature allowing it to support and display one or more customized advertising or marketing displays such as signs, flags and/or helium-free balloons as well as various support apparatus for the same.

Claims (33)

1. A modular pole flag display assembly comprising:

a first modular bracket configured to be slidably secured to a pole wherein said first modular bracket has one or more modular insert positions;

a first stem coupler insert configured to be secured to said first modular bracket forming a first modular assembly;

at least one rod coupler on said first stem coupler insert configured to be coupled with a flexible extension connector;

a first spring coupler configured to be coupled with said first stem coupler insert;

a second modular bracket configured to be slidably secured to said pole wherein said first modular bracket has one or more modular insert positions;

a second stem coupler insert configured to be secured to said second modular bracket forming a second modular assembly;

at least one rod coupler on said second stem coupler insert configured to be coupled with another flexible extension connector;

a second spring coupler coupled with said second stem coupler insert; and

at least one display flag coupled with an installation rod that is configured to be coupled with at least one of said flexible extension connectors and said first and said second spring couplers.

2. A modular pole flag display assembly as described in claim 1 wherein said modular brackets comprise modular brackets having a first and second modular bracket component configured to interlock with one another around a pole.

3. A modular display assembly as described in claim 2 wherein said first and second modular bracket components are configured to interlock with one another around a pole and further be secured by at least one modular insert.

4. A modular pole flag display assembly as described in claim 1 wherein said pole comprises a circular pole.

5. A modular pole flag display assembly as described in claim 1 wherein said one or more modular insert positions comprise modular insert positions having at least one bracket adaptor.

6. A modular pole flag display assembly as described in claim 5 wherein said stem coupler inserts comprises stem coupler inserts having at least one insert adaptor configured to be coupled with said bracket adaptor.

7. A modular pole flag display assembly as described in claim 1 wherein said one or more modular insert positions comprise one or more modular insert positions having at least one insert catch.

8. A modular pole flag display assembly as described in claim 6 wherein said stem coupler inserts comprise stem coupler inserts having at least one insert latch configured to be coupled with said insert catch.

9. A modular pole flag display assembly as described in claim 1 wherein said one or more modular insert positions comprise one or more modular insert positions having at least one lock.

10. A modular pole flag display assembly as described in claim 1 wherein said stem coupler inserts configured to be secured to said modular brackets forming a modular assembly comprises a plurality of stem coupler inserts configured to be secured to each of said modular brackets.

11. A modular pole flag display assembly as described in claim 1 further comprising one or more modular inserts configured to be secured to said one or more modular insert positions on said modular brackets.

12. A modular pole flag display assembly as described in claim 11 wherein said modular inserts comprise modular inserts selected from the group consisting of: modular display inserts; modular balloon inserts; stem coupler insert and modular blank inserts.

13. A modular pole flag display assembly as described in claim 1 wherein said rod couplers comprises rod couplers having a coupler lock.

14. A modular pole flag display assembly as described in claim 1 wherein said flexible extension connector comprises flexible extension connector configured to be secured by a coupler lock.

15. A modular pole flag display assembly as described in claim 1 and further comprising a stem configured to be secured to said first spring coupler and a stem configured to be secured to said second spring coupler.

16. A modular pole flag display assembly as described in claim 15 wherein said first and second spring couplers are coupled with said first and second stem coupler inserts through spring supports.

17. A modular pole flag display assembly as described in claim 1 further comprising at least one installation rod configured to be coupled with said second modular assembly positioned below and coupled with said first modular assembly.

18. A modular pole flag display assembly as described in claim 17 further comprising at least one rod base support configured to be secured to said pole and said installation rod coupled with said second modular assembly positioned below and coupled with said first modular assembly.

19. A modular pole flag display assembly as described in claim 18 wherein said rod base support comprises rod base support having:

an external attachment surface;

at least one band apertures;

at least one band clamp configured to be positioned through said band aperture and secure said rod base support to said pole; and

at least one rod coupler configured to secure at least one installation pole.

20. A modular pole flag display assembly as described in claim 18 wherein said rod base support comprises a rod base support selected from the group consisting of: a rod base support having a magnet external attachment surface; and a rod base support having an adhesive external attachment surface.
