Abstract
A frame for holding a flexible banner in tension, and a frame and flexible banner assembly in which the flexible banner is held in tension, has a frame including segments that are positioned together to define an enclosed area. Each segment has two main parts that are held together with a hinge that runs along the entire length of the outer edge of the segment. One main part is a base and the other one serves as a decorative cover. To keep the covers closed, each segment has a number of springs that secured to both the base and cover. To load the frame with a banner, each cover can be opened by hand a device inside the frame can be used to hold the covers open. Once loaded, the banner is held in place and tensioned with banner tensions, which may be springs that stretch from posts in the frame to holes in the banner. One end of a spring is secured to the post and the other end of the spring is secured to the banner such as by an end of the spring extending through the hole in the banner and 'hooking' the banner. The holding devices are then moved to allow the covers to spring shut. A frame and flexible banner assembly includes the foregoing frame and flexible banner.
