Abstract
A flip placard for reducing placard fluttering including a base, a hinge on the base, a plurality of placards having an aperture therein to be mountable about and movable relative to the hinge and a biasing member positioned between the base and the placards for pushing the placards away from the base. The biasing member pushes the placards upward away from the base and toward an exterior portion of the hinge thus providing a force to hold the placards in a fixed portion and eliminate flutter and associated wear of the placards caused by fluttering. The biasing member also enables easier flipping of the placards when changing legends by presenting the placards to a user making the placards easier to flip.
