  • Patent number: 4108560
    Abstract: A specialized sign fitting together with the process of using said sign fitting to install signs on sign supports, such as walls, is disclosed. The specialized sign fitting includes a threaded male member having a protruding attachment member, such as a wood screw, for fastening to the back of the sign. The fitting has an overlying female member having the external configuration of a bolt. This mounted bolt configured female member is used to rotate and fasten the male member at the protruding attachment member into the sign. With a plurality of fasteners installed on the back of the sign, the female members are removed to expose male member mounted scribes. In the shop, these male member mounted scribes are then impressed with the sign itself onto a sign mounting templet. In the field, the templet containing both the scribed locations of the sign fasteners as well as typically an outline of the sign is first hung on the sign mounting location.
