ABSTRACT:
An illuminated exit sign having at least one chevron-shaped opening on its outer surface and a replaceable directional arrow cover that is substantially similar in shape to the opening and removable from the opening in order to selectively indicate an exit direction. A shoulder which is formed in the cover is adapted to abut with a shoulder formed at the opening. At least two snap tabs located on opposite sides of the arrow cover fit securely within corresponding notches disposed in the shoulder formed at the opening. The opposing configuration of the shoulders and the corresponding configuration of the snap tabs and notches facilitate the removal and replacement of the arrow by a single, quick snapping action which secures the cover in a snug, flush fit.
