Abstract
A collapsible sign member is attached to a collapsible base member and the two members can be disassembled and folded-up into a compact package for storage and transport. Horizontal cross-brace members for the sign member are connected to a central bracket member which is releasably attached to a vertical upright member in the base member. Another cross-brace member is slidably received in the vertical upright member. A sign panel is connected to the ends of horizontal and vertical cross-brace members and the vertical upright member in order to be fully displayed for viewing by passing motorists and pedestrians. A foldable flag mechanism is used to display a set of warning flags. The flag mechanism is pivotally attached to the vertical cross-brace member. The combination sign and sign stand assembly can be quickly and readily assembled to its display condition and, correspondingly, disassembled and folded-up to its storage and transport condition.
