  • Patent number: 6178678
    Abstract: A menu board offering quick and easy changes thereto by a user is disclosed. The menu board comprises plural channels defined by T-shaped flanges, and which are sized to slidably receive and retain a plurality of inserts in the channels thereof in an operative or display position. The inserts are sized to be readily removed and replaced on the menu board by being lifted within the respective channels and to be freed therefrom, such that the user can selectively replace an insert with new or updated sales information graphics, as desired, without disturbing an adjacent insert or inserts in the menu board. The sales information graphic is not limited to the size of the channels on the menu board, but may transversely span any desired number of channels, and be of various lengths to provide relatively large non-linear graphic display areas.
