20150310777 | SIGN CONSTRUCTION WITH SECTIONAL SIGN ASSEMBLIES AND INSTALLATION KIT AND METHOD OF USING SAME - A method of sign construction for converting an existing signage mounting structure to an electronic comprises the steps of (1) using a modification kit that includes a plurality of display modules; a sign section assembly having a front-portion and a rear-portion, the front-portion defining a two dimensional array of bays that span a height dimension of the electronic sign and a portion of a width dimension of the electronic sign whereby a plurality of sign section assemblies are required to fully form the electronic sign; the rear-portion configured to be attached to a beam surface of the existing signage mounting structure to allow most of a rear surface of the rear-portion to be exposed for servicing individual ones of the plurality of display modules; wherein for at least some of the array of bays each bay defines a passageway opening to the rear surface to enable a display module removably supported within the bay to be removed and replaced through the passageway opening; and a plurality of power routing systems each including at least one node associated with each sign section assembly with a plurality of individual power extensions each extending from one node to one of the bays; (2) securing individual ones of the plurality of sign section assemblies to the front-facing surface area of the existing signage mounting structure; (3) wherein prior to each individual one of said plurality of sign sections being secured to said front-facing surface area of the existing signage mounting structure, individual ones of said plurality of display modules are removably mounted within an associated bay; and (4) coupling the plurality of power routing systems to a source of power. | 10-29-2015 |
20140268565 | SECTIONAL SIGN ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION KIT AND METHOD OF USING SAME - A modification kit for converting an existing signage mounting structure to an electronic sign generally includes a plurality of weatherized display modules; a plurality of sign sections each having a front-facing portion and a rear-facing portion, the front facing portion defining a two dimensional array of bays arranged in a plurality of rows along a vertical direction and a plurality of columns along a horizontal direction, each bay configured to receive one of the display modules, the rear-facing portion for mounting to a surface of the existing signage mounting structure and a plurality of wiring assemblies each having a first end for coupling to a power junction located adjacent to a rear surface of one of the rear-facing portions and a plurality of power extensions for coupling the power source to the plurality of weatherized display modules. | 09-18-2014 |
20140268562 | COMPOUND STRUCTURAL FRAME AND METHOD OF USING SAME FOR EFFICIENT RETROFITTING - Supports for plural billboard display modules include one or more structural frames mountable to existing billboard poster panels and other planar structural surfaces; each individual structural frame having a sufficient number of frame cutout areas to minimize frame weight to no greater than fifty pounds for hand lifting and mounting to the poster panels, but not such a sufficient number of frame cutout areas to compromise the structural integrity of the structural frame for resisting wind load forces in excess of 100 pounds per square foot when mounted to the poster panels while supporting the plural billboard display modules; and wherein each structural frame is arranged in an array of structural bay members defined by the cutout areas and visual separation features, the visual separation features facilitating the separating of the array into smaller array configurations, wherein the smallest array is a one bay high by one bay wide configuration. | 09-18-2014 |
20140268504 | MODULAR WIRE HARNESS ARRANGEMENTS AND METHODS OF USING SAME FOR BACKSIDE TO FRONTSIDE POWER AND DATA DISTRIBUTION SAFETY SCHEMES - A large format billboard type electronic sign includes at least one structural frame member mounted to a front side of a planar mounting structure that defines a plurality of structural bay members configured for receiving and removably supporting therein a corresponding plurality of weatherized display modules to conceal and protect at least one preformed wiring harness from wind load forces in excess of 100 pounds per square foot and degradation from the effects of ultra-violet sunlight; each individual one of said plurality of structural bay members is provided with a plurality of receptacles to facilitate mechanically and electrically coupling the at least one preformed wiring harness to the plurality of weatherized display modules; and wherein the at least one preformed wiring harness is provided with a plurality of preformed nodes which are dimensioned to be snapped or pressed into position in a wire harness node receptacle forming part of the plurality of receptacles. | 09-18-2014 |
20140267896 | Field retrofit kit for converting a static billboard into a dynamic electronic billboard, and methods of retrofitting and using same - An electronic billboard generally includes a plurality of hand mountable structural frames mounted to the poster panels of an existing in field non electronic static billboard; the hand mountable structural frames being laid out in an array; and where individual ones of the hand mountable structural frames are configured in a further array of structural bay members adapted to receive therein display modules with dual LED display panels; a plurality of preformed power and data harnesses electrically and mechanically coupled between individual ones of the bays and a universal power and data distribution system coupled to the harnesses for providing data and direct current low voltage to the display modules to facilitate the conversion of the distributed data display information into visible radiant energy which is displayed by the electronic billboard. | 09-18-2014 |
20140259645 | MODULAR INSTALLATION AND CONVERSION KIT FOR ELECTRONIC SIGN STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF USING SAME - An out of the box signage kit facilitates in field conversion of a static billboard having an anchored planar mounting structure into a large format billboard type electronic sign that includes a plurality of interchangeable weatherized display modules; a plurality of hand mountable interchangeable structural frames for supporting the plurality of weatherized display modules, each structural frame having a back portion for mounting to a frontside of the anchored planar mounting structure and a front portion defining a plurality of bay members for receiving corresponding ones of said plurality of weatherized display modules; and a plurality of interchangeable wire harnesses, each individual wire harness including a first end for coupling to a power source mounted on a backside of the anchored planar mounting structure, each individual wire harness having a plurality of power extensions for coupling the power source to at least one of the display modules. | 09-18-2014 |
20140259634 | SIGN CONSTRUCTION WITH SECTIONAL SIGN ASSEMBLIES AND INSTALLATION KIT AND METHOD OF USING SAME - A modification kit for converting an existing signage mounting structure to an electronic sign generally includes a plurality of display modules; a plurality of sign sections each having a front-facing portion and a rear-facing portion, the front facing portion defining a two dimensional array of bays arranged in a plurality of rows along a vertical direction and a plurality of columns along a horizontal direction, each bay configured to receive one of the display modules, the rear-facing portion for mounting to a surface of the existing signage mounting structure; and a plurality of power routing systems, each power routing system having a power input for coupling to a power source and a plurality of power extensions, each power extension for coupling the power source to one of the plurality of display modules. The modification kit when installed provides the electronic sign. | 09-18-2014 |
