Sign construction with sectional sign assemblies and installation kit and method of using same

A modification kit for converting an existing signage mounting structure to an electronic sign comprising:

• a plurality of display modules;
• a plurality of sign sections each having a front portion and a rear portion, the front portion defining at least two vertical columns of bays that span and define a height of the sign, each bay configured to receive one of the display modules, the rear portion configured to be attached to a beam surface of the existing signage structure to allow most of a rear surface of the rear portion to be exposed for servicing;
• and
• a plurality of power routing systems each including at least one node associated with each sign section with a plurality of individual power extensions each extending from one node to one of the bays.

A modification kit for converting an existing signage mounting structure to an electronic sign comprising:

• a plurality of display modules;
• a sign section assembly having a front portion and a rear portion;
• said front portion defining a two dimensional array of bays that span the height of the electronic sign and a portion of the width of the electronic sign whereby a plurality of sign section assemblies are required to fully form the electronic sign;
• said rear portion configured to be attached to a beam surface of the existing signage mounting structure to allow most of a rear surface of the rear portion to be exposed for servicing individual ones of the plurality of display modules;
• wherein for at least some of the array of bays each bay defines a passageway opening to the rear surface to enable a display module removably supported within the bay to be removed and replaced through the passageway opening;
• and
• a plurality of power routing systems each including at least one node associated with each sign section assembly with a plurality of individual power extensions each extending from one node to one of the bays.
