Abstract

An improved sign and sign stand assembly is disclosed wherein the sign panel is mounted on a frame member of the stand. The frame member permits the sign assembly to laterally pivot or swing under side-wind loads in order to allow a resilient portion of the frame member to deflect generally along a predetermined plane, thereby substantially preventing the sign assembly and stand assembly from tipping over. The sign assembly further includes an improved attachment mechanism for releasably attaching the sign panel to its associated support members or cross-braces. One or more straps are attached to the sign panel and wrapped around a cross-member. Such improved attachment mechanism is especially advantageous in connection with flexible sign panels.
