Abstract: An illuminated display device includes an upper horizontal mount and a lower horizontal mount supported by a vertical pole with two opposite-facing translucent banners suspended between the mounts. The upper mount supports an enclosure which includes illumination means for projecting light downwardly. Two banners of substantially equal length are suspended between the supports and are disposed at an angle to each other, being spaced apart a greater distance at the top than at the bottom. The inside angled surfaces of each banner receive light projected downwardly from the enclosure. The enclosure may also include translucent side surfaces which can carry an advertising display or other printed communication to supplement the information provided on the outside surfaces of the banners. The banners are suspended between the mounting means by rod-and-hook attachments so that the banners can be easily removed and replaced.

Abstract: A hanging sign is provided for displaying messages. The sign may include a pair of walls that face in generally opposite directions so that messages can be displayed in two general directions, and a hook for hanging the walls from a support, such as a handrail assembly or other stanchion. The sign also may be configured to hang from a door handle and include a single display panel angled to face a pedestrian approaching the door. The sign may have a cavity to provide for nesting of a plurality of similar signs. A method is disclosed for hanging a sign to provide information to pedestrians.

Abstract: A visual display mounting assembly has first and second vertical metal plate legs and transverse stop plates extending in cantilever manner from opposite sides of the vertical legs at a position spaced above the lower ends of the leg. A visual display support means is attached to the upper ends of the legs and includes pivotal clamp frame means for clamping a display sign, poster or other visible sheet in position on each side of the display means so that the device can be positioned between rows of vending or gaming machines to provide visible access of the display to users of either row. In a second back-lit embodiment fluorescent rubes are provided between translucent plastic support panels.

Abstract: A display sign having a frame with a jointed hinge which allows the two display boards to be rotated 360 degrees to double the usable display area, the display boards can be removed and replaced, providing an unlimited array of sign combinations. The frames are opened via geared hinges until retainer straps are fully extended, this allows display boards to be viewed in an upright position, a strap socket is removed from a strap pivot post, and one frame is rotated approximately 360 degrees via a geared hinge. The retainer straps are then reattached to strap pivot posts, additional stability can be obtained by replacing end caps with ballast holders and ballast rods, alternately, the device can be mounted firmly atop a car via suction cups.
