Abstract: A multipurpose sign base suitable for supporting temporary signs includes an upstanding mast supportable atop a support surface by a substantially horizontally extending, elongate, support member connected to a lower region of the mast, and by a plurality of elongate leg members of adjustable length each having an upper portion movably connected to a central region of the mast, and each having a lower portion movably connected to a different foot adapted to engage a different area of the support surface at locations arrayed about the mast. An upper region of the mast is connectable to a sign to support and display the sign. The legs and feet have retracted positions near the mast. A rearwardly extending formation of the horizontal support member can be coupled to a vehicle hitch so the sign base also can be supported on a vehicle for transport while displaying a sign.

Abstract: A multipurpose sign base suitable for supporting temporary roadway safety signs and the like includes an upstanding mast supportable atop a ground or support surface by a substantially horizontally extending, elongate, support member connected to a lower region of the mast, and by a plurality of elongate leg members of adjustable length each having an upper portion movably connected to a central region of the mast, and each having a lower portion movably connected to a different foot adapted to engage a different area of an underlying ground or support surface at locations arrayed about the mast. An upper region of the mast is connectable to a roadway safety sign or the like, to support and display the sign. The legs and feet have retracted positions near the mast. A rearwardly extending formation of the horizontal support member preferably can be coupled to a vehicle hitch so the sign base also can be supported on a vehicle for transport while displaying a sign carried by the mast of the sign base.
