  "claims": [
    "1. A ‘Supergraphic Display’ vertical plane structural unit, comprising one or more H-Bars, and related components which is secured to a wall or ceiling, as a means of uniting one or more separate sub planes of Indicia Units, or Elements, which may be decorated with Indicia as an entire composition, or as individual Indicia entities, or to display a large scale Graphic Motif, or presentation, as one Element, or as a composition of many Elements. 2. A ‘Supergraphic Display’ vertical plane structural unit as in claim 1 that is built upon a self standing frame to hold the vertical plane structure, that is secured to, or installed to an existing wall, ceiling, or available columns, or posts, or other secure structural units, as a permanent, or temporary display. 3. A ‘Supergraphic Display’ vertical plane structural unit as in claim 1 that is built upon a self standing frame to hold the vertical plane structure, and it would have a platform upon which the frame is placed, to hold the vertical plane structure, and the platform may have wheels or rollers or casters, and may have necessary Guy Wires, Braces, and Supports, to enable the unit to be relocated to an alternative location, indoors or outdoors, such as a convention, a concert, an outdoor theatrical stage background, or other ceremonies. a - A vertical plane structure as claimed in claim 1 and claim 2 and claim 3, consisting of one or more separate planes to contain Indicia, or a graphic presentation. b - A vertical plane structure as claimed in claim 1 and claim 2 and claim 3, where each plane may consist of one or more separate Elements or Indicia Units that contain indicia, or parts of a graphic presentation. c - A vertical plane structure as claimed in claim 1 and claim 2 and claim 3, where each plane may consist of one or more disparate shapes or sizes of Elements or Indicia Units that contain indicia, or parts of a graphic presentation. d - A vertical plane structure as claimed in claim 1 and claim 2 and claim 3, consisting of one or more shapes or sizes of Elements or Indicia Units that contain indicia, or parts of a graphic presentation, that may be animated to move in repeatable horizontal, vertical, or diagonal directions. e - A vertical plane structure as claimed in claim 1 and claim 2 and claim 3, that may be utilized with no priority as to being front, middle, or rear plane, of the indicia or graphic presentation. f - A vertical plane structure as claimed in claim 1 and claim 2 and claim 3, that may be utilized as a one plane, or multi planar, indicia or graphic presentation. g - A vertical plane structure as claimed in claim 1 and claim 2 and claim 3, that consist of an H-Bar, and a GraphicBar, and any of the selected planes, that are united with Wires or Fishlines, that enable the GraphicBar to be drawn up to, and into the recess behind the Fascia, and to abut to the horizontal center member of the H-Bar, and therefore cause the GraphicBar to become hidden when viewing the indicia, or graphic presentation. h - A vertical plane structure as claimed in claim 1 and claim 2 and claim 3, that consist of an H-Bar, and a GraphicBar, and any of the selected planes, that are united with Wires or Fishlines, to enable the GraphicBar, and Elements or Indicia Units to be lowered to the floor, base, or to a selected level to install, replace, or remove Elements or Indicia Units. i - A vertical plane structure as claimed in claim 1 and claim 2 and claim 3, where Elements or Indicia Units are suspended from the GraphicBar of any plane, with Wires or Fishlines, and Hooks. j - A vertical plane structure as claimed in claim 1 and claim 2 and claim 3, by utilizing the enclosed chart defining spacing, determine where Elements or Indicia Units may be spaced equally apart from each other, by selecting the correct series of orifices in the GraphicBar, to enable the adjustment of width of the completed indicia or graphic presentation, and also by selecting Hook and Wire/Fishline lengths, enable the adjustment of height of the completed indicia or graphic presentation. k - A vertical plane structure as claimed in claim 1 and claim 2 and claim 3, where supplied Elements or Indicia Units have two orifices vertical with each other, and two orifices horizontal with each other, and said orifices are near the outer extremes of each Element or Indicia Unit, which would enable hanging, with a looped tie, or a hook, one element to another element vertically, and also permit threading Wire/Fishline through elements horizontally, or the insertion of a clip, to alleviate exaggerated movement during conditions when installed near ventilation, or breezy areas, or outdoors, and predominately when the structure contains planes with moving, or animated Elements or Indicia Units. l - A vertical plane structure as claimed in claim 1 and claim 2 and claim 3, where supplied Elements or Indicia Units may be printed or decorated, with indicia or a graphic presentation, and which would be offered as a choice from our portfolio of selections to a purchaser of our ‘Supergraphic Display’. m - A vertical plane structure as claimed in claim 1 and claim 2 and claim 3, or subsections g, h, i, j, k, where it shall be understood that the use of Wire/Fishline', or ‘Hook’, or ‘Loop and Tie’, is of a generic nomenclature, and that the actual implementation of these or similar functioning items shall be determined within the state of the art of manufacture or performance or accessibility, and which may be amended or supplemented or improved as experience, performance, or ease, may suggest or dictate. n - A vertical plane structure as claimed in claim 1 and claim 2 and claim 3, or subsections g, h, i, j, k, where it shall be understood that the use of ‘elements’, ‘indicia’, or ‘indicia units’, is of a generic nomenclature, and that the actual implementation of these items shall be determined by size, thickness, and weight, inflexible quality, ink or coating quality, or application or adhesion quality, durability, to enable the item to be properly decorated, and withstand usage. o - A vertical plane structure as claimed in claim 1 and claim 2 and claim 3, or by other relative subsections, where the state of the art of manufacture or performance or accessibility may be amended or supplemented or improved as experience, performance, or ease, may suggest or dictate. Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the enclosed descriptions, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein by way of illustration and example, an embodiment of the present invention is disclosed."

  "description_excerpt": "This invention related to fields of display, signage, murals, wallcovering, theatrical stage backgrounds, window display, way finding, space planning, store display, outdoor displays, room decorations for residential or model homes, backgrounds behind television personalities, or simply creating aisles or corridors, or virtually rooms, where none are available.\n\nThe invention will support adding interest and/or practical information or a promotional message to a Store Wall Area above the clothing or merchandise displays, or shelving, in a store Show Window, as a Theatrical Background, or Way Finding system in a Lobby, as a Sales motivator, a Message board or a Color Coded system designed to lead a customer towards a selected goal.\n\nThe idea for the invention came from looking at a stark blank, off white, wall in my home.... I had thought about repainting the wall, or the installation of a wall covering, but both ideas consist of making a relatively permanent choice or selection. I had also noticed many times, watching TV, showing at a book signing in a store, the background is just a painted wall... how bland the setting is....\n\nWhat I thought about, was that the effect should be something of interest, colorful, and yet be flexible, changeable, and non permanent.\n\nI liked the idea of a tapestry, in that it showed a theme or a scene, and need not be a permanent installation.\n\nAn idea came to mind...",
