ABSTRACT:
A multi-message sign includes a frame having a recessed front panel adapted to releasably mount a primary sign by use of double-stick tape or other suitable fasteners. A plurality of additional secondary signs disposed in overlying relation within the frame selectively drop through a slot in a bottom portion of the frame for display. The primary and secondary signs each preferably include indicia for sighted persons and corresponding braille indicia for blind persons. The inventive sign includes a hidden pivotal release mechanism operated by insertion of a coin into a slot to release and drop the secondary signs. The sign includes several decoy slots to deter tampering. In order to facilitate convenient change of the secondary signs while deterring tampering, the frame includes a bottom cover detachably secured by concealed latch members.
