ABSTRACT:
Sign mounting apparatus including a tubular post member is adapted to be mounted in a vertically oriented position. A horizontal member is attached to the post member and a mechanism is provided for removeably attaching the horizontal member to the tubular post member. Loops are on the horizontal member for attaching a sign to the horizontal member. A post driving mechanism is attached to the post member for securing the post to the ground by reciprocal movement of the post member and includes a closure member secured to the bottom end of the tubular post member and having a central opening therein, a shaft reciprocally mounted in the opening and moveable between a first position extending a substantial distance into the tubular post member and a second position substantially outside of the tubular post member, a first stop member on an upper end of the shaft for preventing the shaft from dropping downwardly out of the opening, a second stop member secured to a central portion of the shaft for preventing the shaft from entering the opening beyond the second stop member and a locking mechanism for holding the shaft in the first position thereof whereby it cannot slide to the second position thereof, thereby rendering it safe to carry from place to place.
