Bias-assisted sign mount

A biased-assisted sign mounting system for mounting an associated sign to an associated structure, the mounting system comprising:

• a mount portion configured for attaching to the structure, the mount portion having a biasing element securing portion;
• an arm mounted to the mount portion and having a pivot portion defining a pivot axis about the mount portion, the arm having a biasing element securing portion and a camming portion spaced from the pivot axis;
• and
• a compression biasing element operably disposed between the mount portion and the arm at their respective biasing element securing portions,
• wherein the arm is pivotal between first and second positions, is stopped at the first and second positions by engagement with the mount portion and is secured into the first and second positions by the biasing element, and wherein when the arm is moved between the first and second positions, the biasing element is compressed into a compressed state by the camming portion of the arm which portion, when compressed against the biasing element defines a maximum compressed state, and wherein in the first and second positions, the biasing element is in a state of compression less than the maximum compressed state.

A biased-assisted sign mounting system for mounting an associated sign to an associated structure, the mounting system comprising:

• a mount portion configured for attaching to the structure, the mount portion having a biasing element securing portion;
• an arm mounted to the mount portion and having a pivot portion defining a pivot axis about the mount portion, the arm having a biasing element securing portion;
• and
• biasing means operably connected to the mount portion and to the arm,
• wherein the arm is pivotal between first and second positions and is stopped at the first and second positions by engagement with the mount portion and is secured into the first and second positions by the biasing means, and wherein when the arm is moved between the first and second positions, the biasing means exhibits a maximum bias, and wherein in the first and second positions, the biasing means exhibits a less than maximum bias.

A biased-assisted sign mounting system for mounting an associated sign to an associated structure, the mounting system comprising:

• a mount portion configured for attaching to the structure, the mount portion having a biasing element capturing portion;
• an arm mounted to the mount portion and having a pivot portion defining a pivot axis about the mount portion, the arm having a biasing element capturing portion;
• and
• a biasing element operably connected to the mount portion and to the arm at their respective biasing element capturing portions, the biasing element being moveable between a more stressed and a less stressed state, wherein the arm is pivotal between first and second positions and is stopped at the first and second positions by engagement with the mount portion and is secured into the first and second positions by the biasing element tending toward the less stressed state, and wherein when the arm is disposed between the first and second positions, the biasing element is urged into the more stressed state.
