ABSTRACT:
A sign holder (10) is disclosed which has a professional appearance but allows the sign insert (16) therein to be readily removed and replaced. An integrally molded spring assembly (34) including cantilevered springs (38, 40) is formed on the backplate (12). A frame (20) is mounted on the backplate (12). The sign insert (16) is placed on the inner surface (14) of the backplate (12) and a clear lens (18) is inserted so that a first edge (46) of the lens deflects the springs (38, 40). With sufficient deflection, the opposite edge (50) of the lens can clear the edge (52) of the frame to permit the lens to fit within the space (54) between the back plate and frame. The lens is released, permitting the springs to be released and push the lens so that the opposite edge (50) of the lens moves underneath the edge (52) of the frame to hold the sign insert and lens within the space between the backplate and frame.
