Assembly convertible between house ID display sign and support shelf

An assembly convertible between a house ID display sign and a support shelf, comprising:

• (a) a lower member having means for stationarily attaching said lower member on a wall portion of a house adjacent to an entry door;
• (b) an upper member having means for mounting ID indicia to said upper member for identifying the house;
• (c) means for mounting said upper member to said lower member such that said upper member can be moved relative to said lower member between a house ID display sign configuration and a support shelf configuration;
• and
• (d) an electrical circuit having a light mounted at a side edge portion of said lower member for providing illumination to an area adjacent thereto;
• (e) said upper member having a lower edge portion disposed in a spaced relation from an upper edge portion of said lower member when said upper member is at said house ID display sign configuration relative to said lower member and disposed in a contacting relation with said upper edge portion of said lower member when said upper member is at said support shelf configuration relative to said lower member;
• (f) said electrical circuit also having an electrical switch mounted at said upper edge portion of said lower member and being connected between a source of electrical power and said light, said electrical switch having a button projecting from said upper edge portion and being engaged and depressed by said lower edge portion of said upper member when said lower edge portion of said upper member is disposed in said contacting relation with said upper edge portion of said lower member.

An assembly convertible between a house ID display sign and a support shelf, comprising:

• (a) a lower base plate being stationarily attachable on a wall portion of a house adjacent to an entry door;
• (b) an upper face plate for mounting ID indicia to identify the house;
• (c) at least one pivotal hinge attached respectively to an upper edge portion of said lower base plate and a lower edge portion of said upper face member to enable said upper face plate to undergo pivotal movement relative to said lower base plate between a raised house ID display sign configuration in which said upper face plate is disposed adjacent the wall portion of the house and extends upwardly in coplanar relation with said lower base portion and a lowered support shelf configuration in which said upper face plate is displaced from the wall portion of the house and provides an outwardly projecting, generally horizontal support shelf for seating an object thereon;
• and
• (d) means on said lower base plate for engaging and supporting said upper face plate when said upper face plate is moved to said substantially perpendicular relation to said lower base plate so as to retain said upper face plate in said support shelf configuration when an object is placed on said upper face plate.
