Portable collapsible fabric-tensioned sign assembly

摘要

A portable collapsible sign assembly including a fabric covering and support frame which is adjustable between a collapsed and expanded position. When the sign assembly is expanded, or in its deployed state, the fabric covering and support frame possess a connective tension relationship with respect to one another which creates and supports both the sign assembly display sign and base in a stable manner. The fabric covering engagement with the support frame enables the entire sign assembly, including both the display sign and assembly base, to be simultaneously deployed in one user-initiated motion.

1. A portable collapsible sign assembly comprising:
a fabric wherein said fabric includes fabric holes, a support frame having more than one support frame member wherein said support frame is adjustable between a collapsed position and an expanded position, wherein said fabric and support frame members are in a tension relationship when said support frame is in an expanded position, wherein said fabric includes means to connect the fabric and one support frame member and the length of said means to connect the fabric and one support frame member can be adjusted, wherein an adjustment of the length of said means to connect the fabric and one support frame member when the support frame is an expanded position results in an adjustment of the tension relationship between the fabric and support frame, wherein when the support frame is in an expanded position a base of the sign assembly is comprised of three support frame members and said three support frame members contact the surface on which the sign assembly is positioned, wherein the fabric is positioned to allow and accept the placement of objects which remain stationary on the fabric when the support frame is in its expanded position and the shape of the fabric causes the weight of such objects to be distributed among the three support frame members of which the base of the sign assembly is comprised.
