Abstract

A sign stand for supporting highway safety signs or the like. The stand includes a plurality of folding legs which support the stand on the ground. The legs support a socket having an open upper end to receive the mounting bracket formed at one corner of a side. A latch mechanism includes a hook normally extending within the socket, and cammed to one side as the mounting bracket enters the socket. The lever extends laterally from a side of the socket, enabling withdrawal of the hook to remove the sign.
