ABSTRACT:
A display sign has a panel supported on a horizontal arm which is cantilevered on a vertical post. A slot is formed in the horizontal arm and the panel is supported in the slot. The horizontal arm includes a pair of parallelly extending, spaced-apart channel members and a pair of spacers, one of which is inserted at each end of the channel members. The spacers span the channel members and join them together. The slot in the horizontal arm is formed by a gap between the spaced apart channel members. One type of panel which has an upper portion with a width greater than the width of the lower portion is supported in the slot by the spacers. Another type of panel having a lower portion greater in width than in its upper portion and a neck portion with a pair of cutouts is supported in the slot by pivotably mounted plates which engage in the cutouts. In one embodiment, the horizontal arm is pivotally mounted on the vertical post so that it may be pivoted upwardly and over the post into substantially parallel, side-by-side relation with the post for storage or transportation. In another embodiment, the horizontal arm is removably supported on the vertical post by brackets. A foot fixed to the bottom of the vertical post receives the sharpened bottom end of the post and has a pointed tooth disposed thereon. The bottom end of the post and tooth are implanted in the ground to support the display sign in an upper position.
