ABSTRACT:
A display sign includes a translucent, planar back panel attached to a front, open portion of a generally rectangular housing which contains a light source. Disposed on a front surface of the back panel in a vertically spaced manner are a first plurality of parallel, linear, horizontally aligned tracks, or rails. The display sign further includes a plurality of front panels each having a respective second plurality of horizontally aligned, vertically spaced, linear tracks on an aft surface thereon. Each of the second tracks is adapted to engage a respective one of the first tracks on the front of the sign's back panel for securely and removably attaching the front panels to the back panel. The depth of each of the second tracks, or the extent each of the second tracks extends outwardly from the aft surface of a front panel, is the same for all tracks on a given front panel, with the depth of the tracks on adjacent panels being different. This difference in the depth of the support tracks on adjacent front panels allows the front panels to be positioned in an edge-overlapping manner on the back panel where the overlapping portions of an adjacent pair of front panels prevent light leaks between the panels. The alphanumeric or graphic display on the front panels may be disposed over the sets of interlocking tracks and may extend to the edges of the front panels to provide a continuous full view image on the front of the sign.
