ABSTRACT:
An electrically illuminated sign has a box-like frame with a front face opening and encloses a message plate displaying a message unit through the opening. A separate opaque border strip circumscribes the message unit of the message plate forwardly overlying the same and being forwardly engaged by a frame flange. Opposite side parts of the border strip have directional signal openings formed therethrough normally exposing a contrasting coloration of the message plate therethrough and selectively slidably removable cover strips are positioned between the message plate and border strip covering the border strip directional signal openings with a coloration matching the border strip. The sign may be attached to a mounting surface by a two-piece mounting bracket having a first part secured to the frame and a second part securable to the mounting surface with the bracket parts having slidably interfitting dove-tail portions securing the parts. The bracket may also include selectively separable electrical connector parts on each of the bracket parts which are automatically brought into electrical connection upon the bracket parts being brought into slidable securement, thereby directing electrical power from the mounting surface through the mounting bracket into the sign.
