ABSTRACT:
A house number display system that includes at least one illumination source for illuminating the numbers identifying the building or house and that is rapidly adapted to display a specific house number. The house number display system includes a front housing portion and a rear housing portion that are connected by a hinge and that are sealable together to define a housing compartment therein; a plurality of number panels; at least one low voltage light assembly installed within the housing compartment; a clip support rod secured across the rear housing portion and positioned within the housing compartment, and a plurality of identical spring loaded number panel support clip assemblies slidably mounted on the clip support rod. The clip support rod has a longitudinal guide channel formed along the length thereof. Each of the spring loaded number panel support clip assemblies has a tube shaped clip mounting flange defining a support rod insertion opening and a guide channel follower extending from the mounting flange into the support rod insertion opening. A horizontal clip extension portion extends radially away from the clip mounting flange and terminates in connection with a spring biased number panel clip including a biasing spring, clamping jaws, and a jaw opening tab. Each number panel includes an opaque portion surrounding a transparent character portion.
