Patented Feb. 16, 1932 UNITED STATES WALTER EDWARDS, OF KOKOMO, INDIANA srnEwALK sreiv Application filed. .Tune 1,.
This invention relates to signs, and more particularly to sidewalk signs of the portable t e.
in object of the invention is to provide a 5 sign of this character which may be folded into a small and compact article for storing, and one which may be readily and easily set up.
Another object of the invention is to provide a sign wherein the sign proper will be permitted to swing under wind pressure, thereby eliminating any'possibility of the sign being blown over.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a sign which may be shipped in its assembled position so that the sign may be readily set up by the purchaser, eliminating the trouble and expense incident in assemblying a sign shipped knock-down.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a sign that can be easily transported from place to place, the construction of the sign being such that the sign will require but little space in transportation.
Another object of the invention is to provide a substantially U shaped frame and a sign board or card supported in such a way as to brace the frame.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Referring to the drawings:
Figure 1 is an elevational view of the sign in its extended position.
Figure 2 is a side elevational view of the sign in its extended position.
Figure 3 is a fragmental sectional View illustrating the manner of supporting the sign board.
Figure 4 is a vertical sectional view through the sign in its folded position.
Referring to the drawings in detail; the
1931. .fierial No. 541,417.
sign comprises a support embodying substantiallyU shaped frames 5 and 6 respectively, the frame '5 being of a width and length less than the width and length of the frame 6, so that it may fold to a position within the frame 6.
The adjacent ends of the frames are connected by means of the bolts 7, that extend through openings in the ends of the frames the bolts having inwardly extended fiattene portions 8, which are formed with openings to receive rivets 9 that pass through openings in the sign board 10, to secure the sign board to the bolts.
Arms 11 are pivotally connected to the outer frame 6, and have connection with the frame 5, through the medium of the pins 12 and slots 13.
Thus it will be seen that due to this construction the frames may be moved to a position as shown by Figure 2 of the drawings, where the sign will be held in an upright position, the arm 11 restricting movement of the frames with respect to each other.
As clearly shown by the drawings, a portion of the sign board 10, extends above the bolts 7, while a greater portion of the sign board extends below the bolts 7, to the end that the sign board will hang vertically, under normal conditions.
It might be further stated that the openings formed in the frames 5 and 6, and which receive the bolts 7, are of such diameters that the bolts are permitted to rotate within the openings.
From the foregoing it will be obvious that the sign board proper may swing under wind pressure, thereby eliminating any possibility of the sign being blown over.
The sign board may be of any desired construction, that is, it may be in the form of a black board on which various advertising matter may be placed, or the board may be of a type wherein certain advertising matter may be printed, providing a permanent advertising medium.
Having thus described the invention what is claimed is:
In a sign, a supporting frame comprising U-shaped members having aligning openings at their free ends, said U-shaped members adapted to fold one Within the other, a sign board, bolts having flattened portions formed with openings, securing members extended through the openings for securing the flattened portions of the bolts to the sign board, said bolts being secured to the sign board at points above a horizontal line drawn centrally through the sign board, the free ends of the bolts passing through the aligning openings, a plurality of nuts on each bolt and adapted to clamp the U-shaped members therebetween to pivotally support the sign board.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature.
WALTER EDWARDS.
