Abstract

A plurality of lamp arrays (30A-30N) provide uniform lighting across the copy area of a billboard sign. The arrays (30) are arranged end-to-end horizontally along the length of the copy area. Each array (30) comprises a plurality of LEDs (34A-34N) and a plurality of lenses (36A-36M). The various lenses (36) direct and focus the light from the LEDs (34) at the various parts of the copy area so as to minimize dark and light spots. A 'TOP' set of LEDs preferably illuminates the top part of the copy area, a 'MIDDLE' set of LEDs preferably illuminates the middle of the copy area, and 'FILLER' LEDs preferably serve to illuminate the bottom of the copy area. The lamp arrays are preferably mounted to a catwalk (14) at the bottom of the billboard.

Abstract

A cable tensioning system for mounting a vinyl sheet to a billboard frame, comprising a cable secured on a frame at one end and secured to a spring-loaded cable tensioning device at the other end. A plurality of cable guides are mounted at intervals around the frame, each of the cable guides having a channel adapted to receive the cable. Portions of the edges of a sheet are secured within a plurality of locking clips around the perimeter, each clip also having a channel to receive the cable. The sheet with the clips affixed is secured to the frame whereby cable travels through the channels in the locking clips and is guided around the perimeter of the frame by the channel guides and secured to the spring-loaded cable tensioning device. The spring-loaded cable tensioning device is deployed to tighten the cable around the frame and secure the sheet to the frame.

Abstract

A pivotable light pole apparatus comprising a first and a second pole section, a portion of the first pole section being fittable within a portion of the second pole section, with one end of each pole section being pivotably connected to each other by a pin. The apparatus further comprises a slidable cover which fits over both pole sections and locks in place when the pole sections are collinear so that the pole sections form a single pole, yet when the cover is retracted over the second pole section the first pole section can be pivoted by a technician to be generally perpendicular to the first pole section. When in the pivoted position a light fixture mounted to the first pole section is brought closer to the technician for easier inspection or repair.
