Abstract

A three dimensional wall mounted striping system for displaying a business or a company logo, name, trade dress, colors, announcements and other types of display graphics. The system includes a wall bracket for mounting on a wall. The wall bracket has a first bracket hanger arm and a first bracket snap arm. The bracket also has a plurality of index grooves along a length of the bracket for receiving fasteners therethrough and securing the bracket to the wall. The system further includes an elongated first profile member having a flat facing with an first profile hanger arm along a length of a top of the facing and a first profile snap arm along the length of a bottom of the facing. When the profile hanger arm of the profile member is hung on top of the bracket hanger arm of the wall bracket, the profile member is suspended therefrom. Further when the profile snap arm is pressed into releasable engagement with the bracket snap arm, the profile member is securely held on the wall bracket. The profile hanger arm also includes a groove therein and along the length of the facing for receiving a hanger bracket attached to the back of a graphic display board for suspending the display board thereon. The wall bracket can also include a plurality of upper bracket hanger arms and lower bracket snap arms for receiving more than one profile members and holding the profile members parallel and in a spaced relationship to each other while giving an overall attractive three dimensional look with the profile members having different colors as desired.

Claims

1. A three dimensional striping system for mounting on a wall and displaying a graphic display board with hanger bracket attached thereto, the system comprising:

a wall bracket having a first bracket hanger arm extending outwardly therefrom and along the length of said wall bracket and a first bracket snap arm extending outwardly therefrom and along the length of said wall bracket, said first bracket snap arm disposed below said first bracket hanger arm; and

a first profile member having a first profile hanger arm extending outwardly therefrom and along the length of said first profile member and a first profile snap arm extending outwardly therefrom and along the length of said first profile member, said first profile snap arm disposed below said first profile hanger arm, whereby, when said first profile hanger arm is suspended on said first bracket hanger arm and said first profile snap arm is releasably engaged to said first bracket snap arm, said first profile member is held firmly in place on said wall bracket providing a pleasing three dimensional appearance, said first profile hanger arm having a top surface with a groove therein and extending downwardly from said top surface, said groove extending along a length of said top surface of said first profile hanger arm, said groove adapted for slidable receipt of the hanger bracket of the graphic display board therein.

2. The system as described in claim 1 wherein said wall bracket includes a plurality of parallel index grooves formed therein and along the length of said wall bracket.

3. The system as described in claim 2 further including fastener means such as screws, nails and the like for receipt in said index grooves and therethrough for securing said wall bracket to the wall.

4. The system as described in claim 1 wherein said wall bracket includes a second bracket hanger arm extending outwardly therefrom and a second bracket snap arm extending outwardly therefrom, said second bracket snap arm disposed below said second bracket hanger arm, said system further including a second profile member having a second profile arm for suspending on said second bracket hanger arm and a second profile snap arm for releasable engagement with said second bracket snap arm, said second profile snap arm disposed below said second profile hanger arm.

5. A three dimensional striping system for mounting on a wall and displaying a graphic display board with hanger bracket attached thereto, the system comprising:

a wall bracket having a first bracket hanger arm extending outwardly therefrom and along the length of said wall bracket and a first bracket snap arm extending outwardly therefrom and along the length of said wall bracket, said first bracket snap arm disposed below said second bracket hanger arm, said wall bracket further including a second bracket hanger arm extending outwardly therefrom and a second bracket snap arm extending outwardly therefrom, said second bracket snap arm disposed below said second bracket hanger arm;

a first profile member having a first profile hanger arm extending outwardly therefrom and along the length of said first profile member and a first profile snap arm extending outwardly therefrom and along the length of said first profile member, said first profile snap arm disposed below said first profile hanger arm; and

a second profile member having a second profile hanger arm extending outwardly therefrom and along the length of said second profile member and a second profile snap arm extending outwardly therefrom and along the length of said first profile hanger arm, said second profile snap arm disposed below said second profile hanger arm, said first and second profile hanger arms having a top surface with a groove therein and extending downwardly from said top surface, said groove extending along a length of said top surface of said first and second profile hanger arms, said groove adapted for slidable receipt of the hanger bracket of the display graphic board therein, said second profile member disposed parallel to and in a spaced relationship from said first profile member with a portion of said wall bracket disposed therebetween, whereby, when said first and said second profile hanger arms are suspended on said first and said second bracket hanger arms and said first and said second profile snap arms are releasably engaged to said first and said second bracket snap arms, said first and said second profile members are held firmly in place on said wall bracket providing a pleasing three dimensional striping appearance.

6. The system as described in claim 5 wherein said wall bracket includes a plurality of parallel index grooves formed therein and along the length of said wall bracket.

7. The system as described in claim 6 further including fastener means such as screws, nails and the like for receipt in said index grooves and therethrough for securing said wall bracket to the wall.

8. The system as described in claim 7 wherein said index grooves are located on said wall bracket to be hidden behind said first and second profile members when said profile members are mounted on said wall bracket.

9. The system as described in claim 5 wherein said first profile member has a different width than a width of said second profile member for providing a pleasing yet different three dimensional striping appearance.

10. The system as described in claim 5 wherein said first profile member has a different color than a color of said second profile member for providing a pleasing yet different three dimensional, multi-color striping appearance.

11. The system as described in claim 5 wherein said wall bracket has a different color than the colors of said first and second profile members and the color of said exposed portion of said wall bracket between the parallel spacing of said profile members provides a pleasing yet different three dimensional, three color striping appearance.
