Abstract: An information sign, especially name plates, door plates or notice signs, comprising a base body made of frame parts and optionally a base plate, and a cover plate or decorative plate which can be inserted in the base body, wherein the cover plate or decorative plate can be lifted off by means of a lifting tool, preferably a suction pad, acting upon the outside surface, so that a forward bulging of the cover plate or decorative plate is produced and the same can be removed. Two opposite longitudinal or narrow sides of the preferably rectangular or square cover plate or decorative plate and the adjacent frame parts are provided with a groove-and-tongue latching connection which ensures a secure holding of the cover plate or decorative plate in the base body.
