A folding scaffold sign. The sign is constructed of a special honeycombed plastic material in which two sign panels are provided, separated by a fold line. The bottom corners of the panels are provided with metal legs inserted through openings forming the honeycomb structure. The legs are retained in the openings by elasticity and friction of the plastic memory material and the sign can be used as a triangular free-standing sign supported upon a floor surface, ground or the like. The sign may further be used as a cover for an existing conventional post-supported sign by placing the folded sign thereover and folding the panels together and retaining the legs in secured condition by a retaining chain. The folded-over sign may be stored in the same presentation when the panels are folded over against one another in superimposed position.
A weather resistant plastic folding scaffold sign comprised of a pair of panels connected together by a fold means, leg members connected to each of said panels extending away from said fold means, said panels being comprised of a honeycomb structure having openings extending perpendicularly to said fold means and said leg members being connected to said panels by interfitting in selected openings of said honeycomb structure.
The scaffold sign of claim 6, in which the fold means comprises a pair of spaced fold lines spaced apart a distance to receive said conventional panel sign between the scaffold sign panels when folded in a parallel relationship with the conventional panel sign sandwiched between.
