Filed:

Aug 18, 1986

Appl. No.:

6/896321

Inventors:

Kenneth R. Farmer - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

G09F 1500

US Classification:

40607

Abstract:

A display sign has a panel supported on a horizontal arm which is cantilevered on a vertical post. A slot is formed in the horizontal arm and the panel is supported in the slot. The horizontal arm includes a pair of parallelly extending, spaced-apart channel members and a pair of spacers, one of which is inserted at each end of the channel members. The spacers span the channel members and join them together. The slot in the horizontal arm is formed by a gap between the spaced apart channel members. One type of panel which has an upper portion with a width greater than the width of the lower portion is supported in the slot by the spacers. Another type of panel having a lower portion greater in width than in its upper portion and a neck portion with a pair of cutouts is supported in the slot by pivotably mounted plates which engage in the cutouts. In one embodiment, the horizontal arm is pivotally mounted on the vertical post so that it may be pivoted upwardly and over the post into substantially parallel, side-by-side relation with the post for storage or transportation. In another embodiment, the horizontal arm is removably supported on the vertical post by brackets.

US Classification:

40606

Abstract:

A safety display sign includes a wire post member having spaced apart wire legs extending from a rounded end portion. The wire legs extend through the channels of a corrugated polyethylene sign panel, and project therefrom a sufficient distance to permit secure fixation in the ground. An extruded polyethylene base member is provided with two slotted passages integrally formed at opposite side edges of the base member to receive and grip the wire legs in a unitary assembly which prevents the sign panel from sliding along the length of the wire legs. The polyethylene base is positioned along the length of the wire legs and is urged against the edge of the sign panel by the ground or other supporting surface to secure the sign panel at the top portion of the post.

Inventors:

Kenneth R. Farmer - Smyrna GA

International Classification:

G09F 1500

US Classification:

40606

Abstract:

A display sign in which a panel is supported in cantilever fashion is disclosed. The display sign generally comprises a corrugated panel which may be mounted to a vertical post by a pair of rods which pass through the corrugation channels of the panel and extend through holes in the vertical post. The rods are shaped in a manner to engage the corrugation channels of the panel so as to prevent horizontal sliding or pivoting of the panel relative to the rods.
