3 Claims.
Y One object of our invention is to so construct a sign frame that the sign can be readily placed in position Aor readily removed .therefrom for the insertion of another sign.
.. Another object of the invention is to so construct thesign frame that the sign can be removed from the top of the frame, the top being capable of being moved to one side of the frame to allow for the ready insertion or removal of the sign.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of our improved sign frame mounted on a pedestal;
Fig. 2 is a side view of the upper portion of the frame;
Fig. 3 is` an end View of the upper portion of the frame with the movable top memberin posi-,- tion;
Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3 with the top member turned to one side to allow for the insertion of a sign;
Fig. 5 is an enlarged side view partly in section of one of the upper corners of the frame;
Fig. 6 is a sectional view on the line 6 6, Fig. 5;
Fig. 7 is a sectional view on the line 7 7, Fig. 5;
Fig. 8 is a detached perspective view of the movable top member of the sign;
Fig. 9 is a perspective view of our improved sign showing the transverse partitions located in the frame and also showing the sign frame mounted on feet;
Fig. 10 is a perspective view illustrating another form of the frame mounted on legs and showing a modication of the transverse partitions;
Fig. 11 is a detached sectional view of the top member.
Referring in the rst instance to Figs. 1 to 8, inclusive, 1 is a rectangular sign frame. The side members 2 2 are made of channel bars such as shown in Fig. 7, having portions 3 which are bent inwards to form guides for the sign. The
Fig. 9 illustrates the frame constructed as shown in Fig. 1, with the exception that the frame isL mounted on legs 17 secured by brackets 18 to each of the side frames in place of the pedestal V100 shown in Fig. 1, and in this instance we have illustrated transverse partition bars 18, which extend from one side frame to the other and are used to separate short series of small signs when necessary.
In Fig. 10 we have illustrated a modification of the side members of the frame. The legs 17a in this instance are secured to the outside of the frame. It will be understood that either of the frames shown in Figs. 1, 9 and 12 may be supported in any suitable manner without departing from the essential features of the invention.
We claim:
1. The combination in a sign frame, of a bottom member; two channeled side members eX- tended upwardly from the bottom.member, the space between the side members being open to allow for the insertion of a sign from the top of the frame; a movable channeled top member extending irom one side member to the other and having downwardly projecting slotted portionsv preventing the spreading apart of the side members, said slotted projections also havingportions v arranged to embrace the surfaces of `said side members and prevent movement of the top memel ber when the latter is lowered into position overlying the ends of the side members; .and pins.
cured to each end of the top member, said channel members having downwardly projecting slotted portions iitting on the outside of each side member; and headed pins on the outside of the side members and extending into the slots in the downwardly projecting portions, the said top member with its angle pieces holding the upper portions of the side frames in alignment when the top member is in either of its two positions.
.3. The combination in a sign frame, of a bottom member; two channeled side members extending upwardly irom the bottom member, the space between the side members being open to allow for the insertion of a sign; a channeled top memberghavingportions bent inwardly to form a contracted opening for the sign, the ends of said portions being bent outwardly so as to overlap the side members of the sign frame when the 'top member is above the side members, the flared portions overlapping the side members so as' to shed water; slotted anglepiecesl secured to theends of the top member; and pins on'the-o'utlside of thelside vmembers extending through' the slots in the angle portions.
