Flexable roller arrangement

Abstract

An elongated poster support arrangement comprising an elongated extrusion having an uppermost wall, a tapered sidewall. The sidewall angularly extends from the uppermost wall. A support wall is arranged adjacent said tapered sidewall to define a longitudinal chamber between the tapered sidewall and the support. A flexible gripping member is loosely disposed within the longitudinal chamber, the chamber arranged to receive a poster therein for pinched securement between the gripping member and the support wall. The gripping member comprises a generally cylindrically shaped roller link. The roller links are formed of resilient material.

1 . An elongated poster support arrangement comprising: 
 an elongated extrusion having an uppermost wall, at least one tapered sidewall, said sidewall angularly extending from said uppermost wall;    a support wall arranged adjacent said tapered sidewall to define a longitudinal chamber between said tapered sidewall and said support; and    an elongated flexible gripping member loosely disposed within said longitudinal chamber, said chamber arranged to receive a poster therein for pinched securement between said gripping member and said support wall.    
   
   
       2 . The elongated poster support arrangement as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said gripping member comprises a generally cylindrically shaped roller link having a bore extending longitudinally therethrough.  
   
   
       3 . The elongated poster support arrangement as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said roller link is formed of resilient material.  
   
   
       4 . The elongated poster support arrangement as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said roller link is of a constant outer diameter.  
   
   
       5 . The elongated poster support arrangement as recited in  claim 4 , wherein said roller link extends the length of said enclosure chamber.  
   
   
       6 . The elongated poster support arrangement as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said roller link is of generally cylindrical shape.  
   
   
       7 . A roller link arrangement for use with a gripping apparatus to permit a pinching of an item between a roller link and an adjacent surface, said roller link having a constant diameter, said link arrangement comprising: 
 an elongated cylindrically shaped member of resilient material having a central bore extending therethrough.    
   
   
       8 . The roller link arrangement as recited in  claim 7  wherein said adjacent surface comprises a further elongated roller link.  
   
   
       9 . An elongated poster support arrangement comprising: 
 an elongated extrusion having an uppermost wall, a pair of tapered sidewalls, said sidewalls angularly extending from said uppermost wall and each having a lowermost edge, with an elongated gap between their lowermost edges for receipt of a poster therewithin, said sidewalls comprising a longitudinal chamber therebetween;    a pair of flexible elongated connected gripping members loosely disposed within said longitudinal chamber and parallel to one another, said chamber arranged to receive a poster therein for pinched securement between said pairs of gripping members.    
   
   
       10 . The elongated poster support arrangement as recited in  claim 9 , wherein said sidewalls each have an uppermost edge spaced apart from one another to define a receiving slot for supporting said poster support arrangement.  
   
   
       11 . The elongated poster support arrangement as recited in  claim 9 , wherein said sidewalls have an end cap mounted on each end thereof.  
   
   
       12 . The elongated poster support arrangement as recited in  claim 11 , wherein at least one of said end caps has a slot arranged therein to permit a poster to be removed from said extrusion.  
   
   
       13 . The elongated poster support arrangement as recited in  claim 10 , wherein each of said gripping members comprises an elongated flexible, soft roller member which frictionally engage any posted inserted into said extrusion.
