ABSTRACT:
An illuminated sign structure is fabricated from a plurality of individual components. A main frame, box or housing includes top, bottom and side members which define an enclosure for a light source. The top member of the body defines a peripheral face flange which forms a semicircular hinge groove and an elongated, generally U-shaped drain channel. A face frame includes a top frame member having a horizontally extending hinge flange which terminates in a hinge bead. The bead is disposed within the hinge groove. A plurality of fasteners positioned through apertures in the hinge flange capture the hinge bead within the hinge groove. Either a rigid or flexible sheet signal face is supported on the face frame. A plurality of elongated tension rails disposed within tension channels defined by the face frame support the flexible sign face. Adjustable fasteners contact the tension rails and stretch the sign face over sign face lips defined by the face frame structure.
