T he device as shown in the modii'ied form in Fig. 6, embodies the bracket arm 3l o'l the ordinary type, the beveled bar 32, with the curved portion 33 and slots 34 for bolts 34, rThe sign-plate 35 is bent to conform to the curved surface of the bar 32 and the bolts 234- are inserted through the slots 234i to secure the sign-plate in position. Wedgeshaped Washers 37 are employed to equalize compression of the bolts upon the plate. The lamp 3S is supported upon the arched support 39 and held in position by the bar 4r() and bolts Se, il ruby lens 4l .is provided in the front plate of the lamp, as l2 to provide a danger signal. The lower portion ot the lamp is open at 43 so that the light falls upon the sign which is inclined and curved so as to be more readily visible, thus insuring perfect visibility.
ln Fin'. 7 the bracket-bar il-ilis shorter than in Fig, 6 and in this case the bar l5 eX- tends beyond the end of the bracket. In Fig. 8 the bracket-bar 4.6 is shown in dotted lines, and the Wedge-shaped sleeves 47, i8 and i9 are employed in place of the bar l5. T he right-hand sleeve l-T. lett hand sleeve L8 and center 4:9, serve to give curvature to the sign-plate, also to maintain .it in an inclined position. Any type of lamp may be used with this sign.
lVhile l have described and shown the particular forms of construction illustrated in the drawings, l do not Wish to be limited thereby but reserve the right to depart therefrom Within the reasonable scope and spirit ot the invention.
Having thus described my invention, what insonne l claim new therein and desire to secure by Letters dlbatent of the United States, is:
l. ln an illuminated sign Yfor conveyances, the arrangement and combination of a supporting rod servingv as a bracket, means for securing said rod to a conveyance, a curved signi-tag` adapted for being mounted on the bracket, supporting means held on the rod haviim` one surface adapted to rest against the flat surface ot' the rod, and an oppositely disposed surface adapted to lit the curved rear surface oi? the curved sign-tag` and hold the sigjn in an inclined position, that light from a lamp above the sign may be better re'l'lected to the eye of an observer; means for securing the sign-tag to the bracket and means for supporting a light above the signtag as shown and described.
2. ln an illuminated sign-tag` for conveyances the arrangement and combination of a bracket, means for securing' the bracket to a conveyance, a. curved Signtag, means for securing' the curved sign-tag to the bracket in an inclined position, means for supporting a lamp adjacent the curved sign-tag` upon the conveyance so that the light may fall directly upon the sign-tagv at a reflecting angle With the eye, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony whereof., l GEoRoE R. Mo- Donno have signed my name to this speciiication in the presence ot tivo subscribing witnesses, this seventeenth day of May 1922.
