연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A signage structure includes a first drum, a valance and a plurality of bracket assemblies. The first drum is suspended from a ceiling and includes a first frame supporting a first material having an outer circumferential surface for displaying indicia. The first frame has an upper frame ring and a lower frame ring. The valance is located outwardly from the outer circumferential surface of the first drum and includes at least one curved section having a plurality of spaced apart lights positioned along the interior side of the valance. The plurality of bracket assemblies include arms that couple the upper frame ring of the first drum to the valance. A first end of each arm is configured to attach to the upper frame ring of the first drum and a second end of each arm is configured to attach to the valance.

The signage structure of claim 1, wherein each light is covered by a light scattering element to illuminate the indicia on the outer circumferential surface of the first drum. 6. The signage structure of claim 1, wherein the upper frame ring of the first drum comprises an upper channel having a groove that provides the upper channel with an opening. 7. The signage structure of claim 6, wherein each arm of each bracket assembly comprises a substantially planar section extending between the first end and the second end. 8. The signage structure of claim 7, wherein the first end of each arm of each bracket assembly comprises: a recessed section integrally formed with the substantially planar section and recessed from the substantially planar section by a first height, the recessed section including an aperture; anda first lip formed integrally with the recessed section and spaced apart from the substantially planar section, the first lip extending upwards by a second height along a plane from the recessed section, the second height being less than the first height and the first lip being substantially perpendicular to a plane of the recessed section and a plane of the substantially planar section. 9. The signage structure of claim 8, wherein the recessed section and the first lip are inserted through the groove and into the upper channel of the upper frame ring and secured to the upper frame ring with a fastener. 10. The signage structure of claim 7, wherein the second end of each arm of each bracket assembly comprises: a base section integrally formed with and in plane with the substantially planar section;a pair of studs attached to and extending from the base section to a distal end; anda second lip formed integrally with the base section and extending upwards by a third height along a plane from the base section, the second lip being substantially perpendicular to a plane of the base section and a plane of the substantially planar section. 11. The signage structure of claim 10, wherein one of the pair of studs is inserted into an aperture in a first curved section of the valance and the other of the pair of studs is inserted into an aperture in a second curved section of the valance, and wherein the pair of studs are secured to the valance with a pair of fasteners. 12. A method of applying lighting to a signage structure, the method comprising: obtaining a first drum including a first frame supporting a first material having an outer circumferential surface for displaying indicia, the first frame including an upper frame ring and a lower frame ring;attaching first ends of a plurality of bracket assemblies to the upper frame ring of the first drum; andattaching a valance to second ends of the plurality of bracket assemblies to locate the valance outwardly from the outer circumferential surface of the first drum, the valance including at least one curved section having a plurality of spaced apart lights positioned along the interior side of the valance to direct light onto the outer circumferential surface of the first drum. 13.
