  • Patent number: 5577336
    Abstract: A display with rearrangeable characters, for instance for price display at sales points, has a front plate with recesses for mounting rearrangeable digital, rod-shaped elements in the plate and displaying digital characters. A removable rear or locking plate is affixed to the plate. In their unlocked position, the elements are rotatable in the front plate about a transverse axis in each recess for the display of a desired digital character. Each element is self-locking in its resting position and secured so as to avoid further rotation in this position by the rear plate, thus together with adjacent elements showing the desired character as an unbroken whole.
