20100011640 | NON-INTERACTIVE ADVERTISING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USE WITH GOLF CARTS - A non-interactive advertising display is provided for use by golfers in their golf carts, which supplies useful advertising information to the cart occupant(s). In some cases, the display holds print advertisements protected under a clear removable film. Furthermore, the system is free from being unduly obtrusive in comparison to some interactive advertising methods due to its static, printed delivery—which can be free from animation, video or sound—and its unique placement, mounting under the front of the roof of the cart as opposed to the roof mounting poles. The advertising display can be used to attach to many commonly occurring golf cart roof shapes. This is due to a universal design and removable mounting brackets. Furthermore, the non-interactive advertising display can be maintained without the use of tools. Because the display can be manufactured in a way that purposefully matches cart roof colors this further minimizes the display's obtrusiveness. | 01-21-2010 |
