  • Patent number: 6688027
    Abstract: A selectively reversible message board has a first face of the message board which displays one or more message cards, either preprinted, containing common messages such as “OUT OF GAS”, “FLAT TIRE”, etc., or hand written. The message board may be reversed and the second face is adapted to receive a hand written message. Reversible suction cups are retained in keyhole shaped openings so as to minimize damage to the suction cup tabs when they are reversed. A flashing signal lamp is reversibly mountable on either face of the message board and serves to call attention to the message board and the stopped vehicle. The message board and accessories are provided in a kit contained in a reclosable bag. Storage inside the passenger compartments allows convenient configuration and deployment of the message board without need for any vehicle occupant to leave the vehicle.
