Display device for transportation vehicle

摘要

Disclosed is a displayed device having a top and bottom elongate rail and a display module for displaying alpha numeric information to passengers on a mass transit vehicle. The display modules may be mounted along a top and bottom edge directly to the top and bottom elongate rails. End caps are mounted to the ends of the elongate rail forming a structurally sound frame about the display module.

主权项

1. An electronic display device comprising:
a first display module operable to produce a display, the first display module comprises a front side from which the display is viewable, a top margin and a bottom margin; and a frame about the display module, the frame comprising:
a top frame rail having a longitudinal length extending from a first end to second end, the top frame rail comprising:
a front wall in a first plane that is viewable when looking at the front side, the front wall comprises a first transverse thread receiving slot on backside of the front wall, the first transverse thread receiving slot extends the full longitudinal length of the top rail;a back wall in a second plane that is substantially parallel with the first plane, the back wall comprising a second transverse thread receiving slot on the backside of the back wall, the second transverse thread receiving slot extend the full length of the top rail;a side wall in a third plane that intersects the first plane at a first angle and intersects the second plane at a second angle, the side wall meets the front surface at a corner edge and extends a predetermined measurement toward the back wall;at least one longitudinal receptacle on the back wall, the sidewall, or the backside of the front wall, each longitudinal receptacle extends longitudinally from the first end to the second end;a first longitudinal receptacle adjacent to the corner edge, the first longitudinal receptacle extends longitudinally from the first end to the second end and is accessible from both the first end and the second end of the top rail; anda second longitudinal receptacle in the back wall, the second longitudinal receptacle extends longitudinally from the first end to the second end and is accessible from both the first end and the second end of the top rail; anda bottom frame rail having a first end and a second end, the bottom frame rail being substantially the same as the top frame rail, but is rotated about a transverse axis 180 degrees; andwherein the top margin of the first display module is attached to the first transverse thread receiving slot of the top frame rail with a first plurality of transverse fasteners; andwherein the bottom margin of the first display module is attached to the first transverse thread receiving slot of the bottom frame rail with a second plurality of transverse fasteners.
