DETAILED DESCRIPTION Referring now to the drawings, there is shown a highway safety sign or aid for almost any automotive vehicle, boat, trailer and the like, in which such vehicle has a generally transparent member 12 being positioned near an operating sitting position of such vehicle and is generally disposed in a near vertical relation. The aid 10 is made up of a substantially,rigid arm 16 of metal such as aluminum, the arm having a generally rectangular cross-section and in which one of the flat sides of an end of the arm is bent to form a hook or reentry portion 18 (FIG. 8) fitting securely over an upper free edge of said member 12. The re-entry portion 18 is seen to engage directly with the member 12 in FIGS. 2 and 5, whereas in FIGS. 3,4 and 7, there is an insert or filler element 20 interposed between the member 12 and the re-entry portion 18. The aid 10, of course, may be constructed of a rigid plastic material suitable for the purpose.
The arm is formed to provide substantially adjacent the hook or re-entry portion 18 with a twist portion 24 extending through a turn or bend of about substantially 901 10 conveniently constructed and arranged so that accounting for the general inclination of the transparent member 12, the free portion 26 of the arm is essentially horizontal when in use to the ground surface.
While it is found not entirely essential, the free portion 26 of the arm 16, as shown in its preferred embodiment, has an added turn or bend 30 for thepurpose of orienting the flat side of the arm throughout the major part of the free portion generally vertically with respect to its aforesaid horizontal orientation.
A sheet of cloth or plastic material 34 flexible in nature that may be rolled into a scroll, as shown in FIG. 9, is provided at two opposite edges with hems 36 at the top and 38 at the bottom (FIGS. 2 and 6) forming channels 42 for receiving the free portion 26 of arm 16 in the top hem 36, and for receiving a structural rod 44 (FIGS. 6 and 9) in the bottom hem 38. The rod 44 is provided for tending to hold the sheet in generally outstretched condition for preventing the aid 10 from being blown or folded about the outstretched arm 16.
To assure that the above condition prevails under general conditions, there is provided a back-supporting member 60 (FIGS. 2 and 6) formed of resilient material having terminating resilient fingers 62,64 at each end thereof for providing ease in engaging and disengaging assembly of the back-supporting member 60 with the material 34 containing the free portion 26 of the arm and the rod 44 when disposed in inserted relation within the channels 40,42 respectively. The backsupporting member completes the function of disposing the aid in its generally outstretched condition for preventing the aid from being blown or folded about under general conditions.
In FIGS. 3 and 4, there is shown the manner in which the hook or re-entry portion 18 of the arm 16 may securely interfit into a groove within a window frame or sash of a vehicle where the glass or transparent member 12 is received therein.
