BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a publicity display having a plurality of publicity supports, which are polygonal and in particular triangular in plan view and disposed on a central tubular mast.
From German Utility Model DE 86 24 053 U1, a triangular publicity support is already known that comprises three rectangular publicity support frames, one segmented tube arch and one publicity support mast, with a wedge connection mounted on the upper end. The publicity support frames are combined to make a closed equilateral triangle, suspended vertically, which is secured to a centrally disposed publicity support mast. The individual publicity support frames each have two guide grooves for receiving one holder for a poster and a protective pane in front of it. On the lower end, the publicity support mast is provided with a flange on which it stands, which has four bores for securing it to the ground. A triangular publicity support of this kind not only requires considerable expenditure in terms of production but also complicated assembly work to construct it. Moreover, the danger exists that the protective panes of the poster holders are easily destroyed.
From German Utility Model 77 13 932 U1, an advertising device is also known that has a hollow body, disposed on a support column, for receiving publicity displays; transparent double panes, which between them have an intermediate space intended to receive the publicity supports, are disposed on the jacket face of the hollow body, and the hollow body includes a frame construction into which the double panes are inserted in watertight fashion. The base of the support column is embedded in a concrete receptacle. This advertising device is also relatively complicated in terms of its construction. Moreover, it is complicated and time-consuming to change the publicity supports on the hollow body. Moreover, if its structural height is great, it is not adequately protected against tipping over.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the invention is to create a publicity display of the type referred to at the outset, which has adequate stability even when deployed out in the open, which assures easy replacement of the publicity displays, and which is easy to assemble and disassemble.
According to the invention, this object is attained in that each publicity support comprises a flexible canvas provided with an advertisement and is fixed on two vertical support tubes, spaced apart suitably from one another and the support tubes adjacent to one another are joined on their upper end, via a transversal tube, to the tubular mast and on their lower end, via a tensioning cable, to a ground anchor.
By bracing the publicity supports at the corners, high stability of the publicity displays are attained, which is especially advantageous when the publicity display is set up in the open air, exposed to strong winds. Since the publicity supports comprises canvases that carry the advertisement, no separate frame constructions are required for their retention. The canvaslike publicity supports can easily be changed by loosening their fastening to the support tubes. Moreover, the provisions according to the invention assure rapid setup and dismantling of the publicity display.
In an advantageous feature of the invention, to facilitate transport, the tubular mast is composed of a plurality of detachably joined-together individual sections.
In another advantageous feature of the invention, to assure reliable stability of the tubular mast, the end toward the ground of the tubular mast is provided with a base that has three arms at an angle of 120.degree. from one another.
In a further feature of the invention, to allow the base to be collapsed into a small unit for transport, the base includes a bottom plate and a top plate, between which the arms of the base are supported pivotably about screw bolts that protrude past the top plate. Suitably, the protruding screw bolts of the base are each joined to a support pan that receives the tubular mast, via a cardan joint f
