Bezel flashing sign

Description

FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a bezel flashing sign incorporating my new design. The face has channels for movable letters.

FIGS. 2 and 3 are top plan and side elevational views thereof, taken in the directions corresponding to arrows 2 and 3 in FIG. 1. The Bezel flashing sign is symmetrical top and bottom, side to side. Hence, the bottom is the same as FIG. 2 and the opposite side is the mirror of FIG. 3. The back of the sign is flat and unornamented.

FIG. 4 is a top plan view of a modified form of a bezel flashing sign which is the same as the sign of FIGS. 1 to 3 except that it is two-sided.

FIG. 5 is a side elevational view of the sign taken in the direction of the arrow 5 in FIG. 4,

FIG. 6 is a front elevational view of another modified form of a bezel flashing sign which has a square rather than rectangular configuration and a different face for adhered rather than movable letters. In all other respects, the sign of FIG. 6 is similar to that of FIGS. 1 to 4 . The back of the sign is flat and unornamented.

The characteristic features of my design are the exposed flashing lamps and their outwardly sloping bezel mounting.
