ABSTRACT:
A modular digit carrier for a sign system having a sign face upon which a plurality of digits can be secured. In a preferred embodiment, the digit carrier includes a rear surface and a front surface, and outwardly extending flanges for securing the digit carrier with its rear surface adjacent the sign face. The digit carrier further preferably includes a substantially frame-like body portion which defines a support channel and which provides access to an interchangeable digit supported by the carrier from the front surface of the digit carrier. The support channel slidingly supports the indicia digit and includes an open slot through which the digit can be inserted and removed in a direction which is oriented so as to allow the insertion and removal of a digit from the carrier without removing the carrier from the sign face. The digit carrier can also be configured to allow backlighting of the indicia digit supported. In one preferred embodiment, the sign system includes a plurality of vertically spaced longitudinal slots defined between pairs of longitudinal tracks within which the digit carriers are slidably received, and the distal portions of the tracks are covered with opaque material to prevent leakage of backlighting.
