  • Patent number: 5042183
    Abstract: A composite support stake for holding a corrugated sign in an upright position, includes a pair of spaced apart, longitudinally extending wire post members of a first diameter and a transverse cross beam connecting the lower end portions of the pair of post members to define a step for driving the posts into the underlying soil foundation. A pair of elongated wire pins connect respectively to the pair of post members and the outer surface thereof so that the top of each post acts as a stop for defining the penetration of the pins into the corrugated portion of the sign. The posts can be much greater in diameter than the pins, preferably having a diameter of at least twice the diameter of the pins. The wire posts can thus be made much heavier as they do not have to fit into the corrugated sign, so that the posts carry the load of a users foot in penetrating the soil.
