Abstract

A sign stake system designed for supporting various types of signage, particularly useful for campaign, yard, and garage sale signs is disclosed. The stake includes a head and a tapered shaft. The head includes an upper surface suitable for being struck by a mallet to facilitate easy ground insertion. An aperture is disposed on the head and is compatible with standard signage frame legs, ensuring a snug fit and preventing unintentional dislodgement of the sign. The tapered shaft features integrated longitudinal ridges for secure ground penetration and stability against wind and external forces. Additionally, the system allows for the use of multiple stakes, installed at specific distances corresponding to the frame legs of the sign, thus providing enhanced support and orientation.
