Description

The sign stand shown in the drawing consists of a part 1 mentioned for ground contact, which in the embodiment shown has the shape of a rectangular room.

From its long sides emerge upwards converging supports 2, which are connected at the top and between them support a horizontal shaft 3, around which a mast 4, which in the exemplary embodiment consists of two mutually parallel elongate elements, which at the top support a sign 5 between them, is pivotable stored nä, that it from it in fíg. The position shown in Fig. 1 can be lowered to the position shown in Fig. 2.

The mast carries in its part located in Fig. 1 below the storage shaft 3 a container 6, which has a certain minimum volume. 7 denotes the container's suspension point.

The sign stand now described is transported to the intended installation location and can then either be assembled or have the parts completely or partially disassembled.

During installation, the support is placed in the desired location and the mast with applied bracket is mounted on the pivot shaft 3 in cases where the sign stand is not already mounted. By pumping in water in the container 6, the mast 4 is caused to rise gradually. However, the capacity of the container is such that an additional amount of water can be pumped into it after the mast has reached its vertical position; In this way, the sign stand will be able to absorb the stresses to which the construction is exposed.

Because the mast 4 is not firmly clamped but in case of overload e.g. by irwer-kzin of throwing villages on the sign 5, simply performing a pivoting or tilting movement, it is further achieved that it can be dimensioned considerably smaller than would otherwise be lalloi.

Erection and precipitation take place in relation to conventional methods very quickly and because water is normally available on site, the transports become considerably easier and cheaper than with conventional methods where all parts of the display rack, often very heavy, have to be transported to the fïæäíßil stream site.

It is further realized that it is very easy to lower the sign stand, since then only the water introduced into the container needs to be removed. Both erection and felling take place under fully controllable conditions with successive movements that are harmless to the workers.

Claims (3)

8506341-2 3 PATENT REQUIREMENTS: 1. l. A device for sign stands and the like, characterized in that it comprises an elongate element such as a mast (H), which at its one end can support a sign (5) e.d. and which in the vicinity of its other end is pivotally mounted at a support (1,2) and so balanced that it, by its own weight, strives to assume a pivoted-down, substantially horizontal position, but which in connection with said other end has a container ( 6) which is arranged to be able to absorb such an amount of a substance that the container, after the introduction of a certain amount of said substance, is able to raise the mast (H) from its substantially horizontal, pivoted position (Fig. 2) to a substantially vertical position. A position (Fig.l). 2. Z: Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the container (6) has such a capacity that the weight of the substance introduced therein also suggests to accommodate those acting on the sign stand, e.g. of the wind power caused by the forces. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the substance consists of water and that institutions are taken to pump water into resp. pump water out of the container (6) for the mast (4) traveling resp. conviction. Device according to Claim 1, characterized in that the support consists of a relatively elongate part (I) which can be applied to the ground surface, from which two upwardly directed parts (2) located at a distance from each other emanate, which between them support a horizontal shaft (3) in relation to which the mast (4) is pivotally mounted.
