  • Patent number: 8720090
    Abstract: This disclosure is concerned with a readily changeable sign display system which facilitates easy alteration of the sign indicia displayed but is also resistant to unauthorized tampering so that it can be deployed where it is not under continuous surveillance when exposed to the general public. It comprises vertical frame members which provide tracks for the insertion of horizontal frame members. In some embodiments the vertical frame members are joined to each other with a backing member while in other embodiments intermediate channel members are placed between the vertical frame members and adjacent members are joined by a backing member. The horizontal frame members carry grooves for the insertion of sign panels which carry indicia. The tracks for the horizontal frame members carry removable obstructions which hold these members in the tracks. The obstructions at the upper end of the tracks are readily removable.

  • Publication number: 20090172985
    Abstract: A single or double post sign structure that is configured to accommodate the attachment of panels to one or both sides of a vertical upright. The sign panel is provided with keyed indentations that are located at the top and bottom edges of the panel to permit capture and rigid securement of the sign panel by a pair of retaining buttons that are used to anchor the sign panel to the sign post. Each retaining button is provided with protrusions corresponding to the keyed indentations of the sign panel. As a result, when the protrusion of the retaining button is engaged and seated in the keyed indentation of the sign panel, it becomes locked in place so that there is no room for lateral movement or removal of the panel. As a result, vandals or thieves are prevented from laterally sliding the sign panel to improperly remove it.

  • Publication number: 20080256836
    Abstract: A decorative slip over frame comprises a first and second upright post each having at least one adjustment slot running substantially along opposing facing sides. An upper horizontal support has an insertion slider on each end that moveably slides in the adjustment slot. At least one lower horizontal support also has an insertion slider on each end. The upper horizontal and lower horizontal supports move independently to provide adjustability when concealing a sign frame or edge. In one embodiment, two lower horizontal supports are used where each lower support is independently adjustable. In one embodiment, a decorative final tops each upright post and has a slot to accept additional signage. In one embodiment, the slip over decorative frame slips over the top of a metal frame sign. In another embodiment, the sign slides in from the top, side or is sandwiched or hinged between the frames.
