ABSTRACT:
A frame member for a sign assembly for use with flexible signs comprises an elongated body having an outer side having a front edge which defines a lip for engaging a back side of an edge portion of the sign and applying a tensile force to the sign. The channel extends longitudinally of the body and inwardly of the outer side thereof and opens in the outer side for receiving in edgewise fashion an elongated tensioning bar having an edge portion of the sign folded thereover and secured thereto by a plurality of spring clips. The channel is formed with a plurality of transversely spaced, inwardly facing shoulders which are engageable with the spring clips for securing the edge portion of the sign within the channel and enabling the sign to be tensioned by urging the tensioning bar inwardly of the channel to enable the material clamping means to successively engage successive shoulders.
