## Abstract

A collapsible land-based multi-directional signal assembly includes a signal display assembly having one or more display surface, and at least one signal indicia affixed to each display surface. A collapsible land-based collapsible multi-directional signal assembly includes a multi-directional signal display assembly comprising a plurality of signal display panels. Each of the plurality of signal display panels comprising at least one display surface, and a plurality of signal indicia are affixed onto different ones of each of the plurality of display surfaces. A signal support assembly is provided such that the collapsible land-based multi-directional signal display assembly is disposable into a deployed orientation about the signal support member.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A collapsible land-based multi-directional signal assembly deployable in an operative land-based orientation, said assembly comprising:
a collapsible multi-directional signal display assembly comprising a plurality of signal display panels, said plurality of signal display panels disposable between a deployed orientation and a collapsed orientation,
each of said plurality of signal display panels comprising a pair of oppositely disposed display surfaces,
a plurality of complimentary signal indicia, wherein at least one of said plurality of complimentary signal indicia is affixed onto a different one of each of said plurality of display surfaces,
a signal support assembly and a signal mount assembly, wherein said signal support assembly and said signal mount assembly are cooperatively structured to facilitate disposition of said plurality of signal display panels between said deployed orientation and said collapsed orientation, and
a mount assembly operatively interconnected to said signal support assembly, wherein said mount assembly comprises a mount member to securely mount said collapsible multi-directional signal display assembly in the operative land-based orientation.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The collapsible land-based multi-directional signal assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein said collapsed orientation is at least partially defined by each of said plurality of signal display panels disposed adjacent and overlying or underlying one another and extending outwardly in a single direction from said signal support assembly.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The collapsible land-based multi-directional signal assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein said complimentary signal indicia affixed onto corresponding adjacent ones of said plurality of display surfaces in combination form a single indicia representative of a Federal Aviation Administration checkered airport flag.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The collapsible land-based multi-directional signal assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein said complimentary signal indicia affixed onto corresponding adjacent ones of said plurality of display surfaces in combination form a single indicia representative of a handicapped parking sign.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The collapsible land-based multi-directional signal assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein said complimentary signal indicia affixed onto corresponding adjacent ones of said plurality of display surfaces in combination form a single indicia representative of a speed limit sign.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The collapsible land-based multi-directional signal assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein said complimentary signal indicia affixed onto corresponding adjacent ones of said plurality of display surfaces in combination form a single indicia representative of a no parking sign.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The collapsible land-based multi-directional signal assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein said complimentary signal indicia affixed onto corresponding adjacent ones of said plurality of display surfaces in combination form a single indicia representative of a sports team cheer.
