Description of an embodiment of the invention

Following is a description of a example of the invention with reference to numbering Adopted in the figures.

Thus, device 1 of this example of the invention, provides a protected informational message and interchangeable that is applied to provide information additional or complementary in a traffic signal 8, as is represented in figure 4. However, in other examples of the invention, the application can be of another nature.

Device 1 of the present example consists of in a flattened box 5 with hinge 4 on a lid transparent 3 provided with a lock 2, as it can can be seen in figure 1.

Said lock 2 is in the present example a  key lock, although in other embodiments it may be used Another type of closure.

The aforementioned flattened box 5 is provided with fixing means 6 which in the present example are located in the back and consist of holes and grooves in the that clamps, flanges, screws, rivets or analogous, said means 6 being seen in Figures 2 and 3. Obviously, in other embodiments of the invention, use different fixing means.

Between the flattened box 5 and its transparent lid 3 incorporates an internal information plate 7 equipped with the aforementioned informative or complementary message, as can be seen in Figure 3. Said plate 7 may be replaced as many times as want, allowing to vary the corresponding message.

Thus, the realization of the present example provides a large interchangeable signaling device constructive simplicity, easy applicability and adjusted to characteristics of the invention.
