ABSTRACT:
A signage system includes a frame including a vertical support plate having horizontal sign mounting flanges on at least one side of the plate. Removable plate-shaped lettering inserts are mounted on the frame by mounting flanges on the back surface of the lettering inserts that mate with the mounting flanges on the support plate. The flanges are engaged by fitting the mounting flanges of the lettering insert endwise on the ends of the mounting flanges for the support plate and sliding the lettering inserts horizontally onto the frame. Removable end caps cover the ends of the frame and lettering inserts, with the end caps including at least two opposed resilient fingers that fit over and press resiliently against the opposite sides of the support plate to hold the end caps on the frame. The end caps are formed by joining together two identical halves. The end caps include a central alignment tab that fits between two horizontal mounting flanges on the frame in order to position the end cap in proper vertical position on the frame. The frame includes T-shaped channels on the upper and lower surfaces of the frame for joining sections of frame together and attaching the frame to various mounting devices for displaying the sign.
