  • Publication number: 20170186344
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus including a support member, a sign, and a repositioning mechanism. The sign is supported by the support member. The sign has a generally planar shape and extends in a plane. The repositioning mechanism is coupled to the sign. The repositioning mechanism is to fixedly position the sign in a first static position displaced at a first non-zero angle from a horizontal position.

  • Patent number: 9607532
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system that includes a support member and a sign supported by the support member. The sign may have a generally planar shape and may extend in a plane. The system also includes a repositioning mechanism coupled to the sign and the support member. The repositioning mechanism rotates the sign substantially in-plane. The system may further include a controller for controlling rotation of the sign. In one implementation, the repositioning mechanism is retrofitted on an existing sign and an existing support member. The repositioning mechanism may include a power source attached to the support member that provides power to the repositioning mechanism. The repositioning mechanism may further include a linkage attached to the sign and a transmission for transferring rotational power to the sign, wherein the transmission is interconnected between the power source and the linkage.
