Abstract
A flexible fade resistant posted marker sign based on a flexible substrate and fade resistant coating that can bend to lock onto a studded flanged post by positioning the sign ends between the studs on the post with the body arching across and over middle studs on the post with the sign being wide enough to span across the flanges of the post and be secured with wire passing through holes positioned to place the wire at the sides of the width of the post to inhibit vertical, horizontal, and twisting movement of the sign while still maintaining a continuous center section of the sign for use as a colored warning blaze.
Claims2
A posted marker vertically elongated rectangular flexible sign apparatus for mounting on a fence post, comprising:
- the fence post including a structural T shape body defining a face rib, a left side rib having a left rib end, a right side rib having a right rib end, the left rib end separated from the right rib end by a post width, centrally disposed studs a first rib valley and a second rib valley positioned along the face rib at a stud spacing distance, each stud including a bottom wedge, a peak, and a top wedge defining a vertical stud length, and each of the first and second rib valley having a vertical valley length with two valleys defining a minimum valley separation distance and a maximum valley separation distance
- a flexible sign body including sides and a top end and a bottom end defining a sign height between the minimum valley separation distance and a maximum valley separation distanced, the flexible sign body including a central core, a base weathering protective layer, a color surface and a transparent ultraviolet protective layer;
- and
- the flexible sign body defining a top hole set and a bottom hole set separated by a vertical hole separation distance forming a solid center section;
- the vertical hole separation distance between the minimum valley separation distance and a maximum valley separation distance;
- each hole set defining a horizontal outside hole separation distance equal to the post width;
- and
- a bendable wire tie including a bent body defining a left wire arm and a right wire arm connected by a wire back, the bendable wire tie positioning the top end in the first rib valley and the bottom end in the second rib valley.
