Abstract
A sign holder assembly encompassing a frame member capable of supporting and displaying a sign in a vertical orientation. A hinge is appended to the frame member for maintaining the frame member in a vertical orientation which allows the frame movement in a horizontal plane while preventing significant movement of the frame in a vertical direction. An attachment member is provided for securing the frame through the hinge to a horizontal shelf and a connector is provided for attaching the hinge to the attachment member which is capable of allowing rotation of the frame member about the connector about a horizontal axis while maintaining the frame member in a vertical orientation.
Claims7
A sign holder assembly comprising in combination:
- (a) a frame member capable of supporting and displaying a sign in a substantially vertical orientation;
- (b) hinge means for supporting said frame member and for maintaining said frame member in a substantially vertical orientation, said hinge means being further characterized as comprising a plurality of stria formed of a flexible material, said stria connecting adjacent rib sections enabling said hinge means to flex horizontally in response to a horizontally applied impact being applied to said frame member but preventing significant flex in a vertical direction;
- (c) attachment means for securing said frame member through said hinge means to a substantially horizontally oriented shelf;
- and
- (d) connector means for attaching said hinge means to said attachment means, said connector means being capable of allowing rotation of said frame member about a horizontal axis while maintaining said frame member in a substantially vertical orientation.
