Abstract

By providing a frame structure and two panels adapted for removable, interlocking mounting on the frame structure, a sign housing is obtained which is rapidly assemblable without the use of screws, clips, or other such fastening means. In the preferred embodiment, the sign housing is employed as an illuminated emergency exit sign, and can be flush-mounted with only one side viewable or mounted to ceilings or walls with both sides viewable. Also, an emergency power supply can be secured directly to the sign housing to provide a complete independent package.
