Abstract
Adapter bracket mechanisms for securing various roll-up signs to a sign stand. The bracket mechanisms are positioned vertically upright from the base of a sign stand. The adapter bracket mechanisms hold the lower end of the vertical cross brace of the roll-up sign. The mechanisms include a U-shaped channel and either a slide bar or pivoting lever arm member for enclosing the cross brace within the channel. A threaded turn-lock member securely holds the sign in the adapter bracket mechanism. If desired, a protector member can be used to help hold the vertical cross brace in the bracket mechanism and protect the cross brace from possible damage. Another embodiment utilizes a threaded knob to wedge the vertical cross brace in the channel.
