Abstract: An information-bearing and direction indicating sign is described having at least one rectangular information carrier provided with printing, a pictogram or a direction-indicating symbol and a frame holding the exchangable information carrier releasably. The frame includes at least two longitudinally-extended members running parallel to each other, which are provided with a plurality of opposing longitudinally-running receiving grooves, in which the information carrier or carriers are held edgewise and are easily removable. The longitudinally-extended members can have a connecting piece at each end for attachment to a wall surface. Means for easily holding or releasing one or more of the information carriers may be provided in the opposing receiving grooves in adjacent pairs of longitudinally-extending members. The longitudinally-extended members can be rods or bars and the connecting pieces can be formed by angular pieces which engage in mounting pieces permanently attached to the wall surface.
