## Claims

### Claim 1

A sign holder device for the support and display of signage, said sign holder device comprising a base, sign holder and stem, said stem having a first end appended to said base and a second end for frictionally supporting the sign holder, such that said sign holder is releasable from said stem by providing lateral force to said sign holder, said stem having a length defined by the distance between said first and second ends, said length being adjustable to vary the distance between said base and sign holder by providing said stem with an inner shaft and outer sleeve, said inner shaft having an outer surface and said outer sleeve having an inner surface, said sign holder device further including at least one protrusion and at least one indent provided for snap-release contact as said inner shaft and outer sleeve moved with respect to one another, said at least one protrusion being either on the outer surface of said inner shaft or inner surface of said outer sleeve while said at least one indent being located on the outer surface of said inner shaft or inner surface of said outer sleeve and wherein said base frictionally captures the first end of said stem, said stem being releasable from said base by providing lateral force to said stem.
