Abstract: A sign utilizing interchangeable, replaceable magnetic displays adhering to a ferromagnetic layer. The information, printed on the magnetic layers, retains their original freshness and crispness until removed and their replacements installed in their stead. Installing the new magnetic displays proves very facile and only requires removing the old magnetic display from its smooth, ferromagnetic panel and placing the new magnetic sign in its stead. The ferromagnetic panels can sit on top of regular signs which may include translucent panels with information visible through the panels. The ferromagnetic panel can clamp onto the regular sign since it requires no internal lighting. This arrangement avoids the need to penetrate any surface of the nonmagnetic sign. The ferromagnetic panel may have a nonflat configuration, and the magnetic sheet a flexibility to adhere intimately to the panel. The magnetic sign may, in fact, include several sections for flexibility in the sign's installation and content.

Abstract: Disclosed is a display structure in which an insertion opening, slide grooves, a first fitting portion and a ridged portion along which the display plate bends when the display plate is bent arranged in the loading sections of a support body in a suitable manner to ensure that when the display plate is inserted into or removed from the loading unit, a force is exerted on both sides of the display plate in either the direction from the display surface side to the rear surface side thereof or the direction from the rear surface side to the display surface side thereof, and a force is exerted in another direction at the center region of the display plate. As a result of configuring in this manner, the display plate deforms so that the entire display surface side comes to have a convex or concave shape, thereby allowing the display plate to be attached to or detached from the support body without forcible localized deformation of the display plate.
