Montreal, QC, Canada – Art display products manufacturer, AS Hanging
Systems, North America’s leading provider of art and wall object
hanging systems for residential, commercial, municipal and gallery
artwork presentation, announces that the trade name of a recent new
product, Footprintless® Easel, has recently received registered
trademark status from the US Patent and Trademark Office.

Footprintless
Easel is a clever product that serves the objective task of a
conventional easel without the shortcomings. The challenge of use with
conventional easel designs is that they have large footprints. When
deployed, a common easel may consume as much as six or more square feet
of floor area and commonly protrude into available space by as much as
four feet or more. This makes use of common easels something that must
be considered when planning presentation areas, meeting rooms and
conference spaces.

A second consideration when using
traditional easels is their storage when not in use. They are difficult
to store. Because the one rear leg of most easels is considerably
longer an easel does not ‘behave’ well when one attempts to store it in
a closet or other storage. Easels often become entangled, fall over and
become damaged or damage other items and their surroundings. AS Hanging
Systems’ Footprintless Easel overcomes all these deviances.

Footprintless
Easel is a wall-mounted device. It consists of an upper and lower track
with a pair of cables stretched between. These cables, along with other
supplied hardware, can support large boarded items such as mount
boards, foam core, etc. up to 40-inches tall, four or more feet wide
and up to five-eighths of an inch thick. These boarded items are
grasped at four points and at both top and bottom edges. It can also
suspend un-mounted paper items such as poster prints, computer
printouts, illustrations and blueprints, etc. more than 40-inches tall
and up to 3-feet wide. Lastly, this clever easel will also adapt to
suspend common easel pads.

Most importantly, this easel is never
out of place and is always ready to assist with the next presentation.
It awaits its next task right there on the wall. However, the cables
and hooks may, but do not need, be removed and stored in a drawer or
other small space. Re-deployment takes mere seconds.

Footprintless
Easel is available in one and two meter widths and may be combined in
any number in a continuous run to create a hard working presentation
wall in conference rooms and the like. It is ideal for creative pitch
sessions where common presentation ledges have been used in the past.
Pitch boards will not fall from the Footprintless Easel as they do from
common ledges when someone walks by or from other air movement such as
an open window. Both sizes are available in recyclable aluminum rails
with Silver or Black finish. The included cables are of stainless steel.
