Abstract
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.
