ABSTRACT:
A specialized sign fitting together with the process of using said sign fitting to install signs on sign supports, such as walls, is disclosed. The specialized sign fitting includes a threaded male member having a protruding attachment member, such as a wood screw, for fastening to the back of the sign. The fitting has an overlying female member having the external configuration of a bolt. This mounted bolt configured female member is used to rotate and fasten the male member at the protruding attachment member into the sign. With a plurality of fasteners installed on the back of the sign, the female members are removed to expose male member mounted scribes. In the shop, these male member mounted scribes are then impressed with the sign itself onto a sign mounting templet. In the field, the templet containing both the scribed locations of the sign fasteners as well as typically an outline of the sign is first hung on the sign mounting location. The female members are then mounted through the templet in precise registry with the male members on the back of the sign. The sign is then confronted to the mounting and the female members rotated in the narrow interstices between the sign mounting and the sign back. Such rotation is preferably made by wrapping a wound thread around the female member and rotating the female member onto the male member by pulling and unwinding the thread. A firm sign mount attractively spaced from the wall by the depth of the female members results.
