ABSTRACT:
Any improved break-away banner rod assembly (10) is provided which includes a fixture (12) adapted for coupling to an upright support surface (14) and having a laterally extending, slotted body (30), and a coupler (16) supported by the fixture (12) with a zone of weakness (42) therein. An elongated banner rod (18) is connected with coupler (16) and extends through the slot (34) of body (30). The body (30) captively retains the inner end (44) of rod (18) in the event of load-induced fracture of the coupler (16) at zone (42), and prevents significant downward movement of the rod (18). Preferably, the slot (34) permits movement of rod (18) through a restricted arc upon fracture of the coupler (16).
