Abstract
A sign board support structure comprises an upright, telescopically adjustable, tubular mast (7), a substantially horizontally extending cantilever projecting from the mast at or near the top thereof (9) and a bifurcated base (8) projecting rigidly and substantially horizontally from the bottom of the mast. The base is substantially symmetrical about a center line in the same vertical plane as the cantilever and has limbs (15) which diverge from each other with distance from the mast and are each adapted to be respectively wedged into the two cusp shaped spaces defined by a wheel tire (32) of a vehicle and the surface on which the vehicle stands. The base, mast and cantilever are united by demountable couplings (13,14).
Claims12
A sign board support structure comprising an upright mast, a substantially horizontally extending cantilever projecting from the mast at or near the top thereof and a v-shaped bifurcated base projecting rigidly and substantially horizontally from the bottom of the mast, said base being substantially symmetrical about a center line in a same vertical plane as the cantilever and having limbs which diverge from each other with increased distance from the mast and are each adapted to be respectively wedged into cusp shaped spaces defined by a wheel tire of a vehicle and the surface on which the vehicle stands, on respectively opposite sides of the area of contact of the tire and the surface.
A support structure for supporting a sign comprising an upright mast, support means for supporting a sign and a bifurcated base, said bifurcated base having limbs extending in a substantially horizontal direction, said limbs having a juncture located at or adjacent a lower end of said mast, said limbs diverging from said juncture such that a space is defined between respective free ends of the limbs whereby said base can be placed next to a vehicle wheel and moved to thereby position said limbs into cusp-shaped spaces defined by said vehicle wheel and a surface on which said vehicle wheel stands, respective ones of said limbs being on opposite sides of an area of contact of said vehicle wheel and said surface,
- wherein the support means comprises a substantially horizontally extending cantilever extending from or near a top of the mast.
A sign board support structure comprising an upright mast, a substantially horizontally extending cantilever projecting from the mast at or near the top thereof and a u-shaped bifurcated base projecting rigidly and substantially horizontally from the bottom of the mast, said base being substantially symmetrical about a center line in a same vertical plane as the cantilever and having limbs which diverge from each other with increased distance from the mast and are each adapted to be respectively wedged into cusp shaped spaces defined by a wheel tire of a vehicle and the surface on which the vehicle stands, on respectively opposite sides of the area of contact of the tire and the surface.
