Abstract
A sign mounting system for pivotally mounting a sign to an associated storage rack includes a bracket having substantially vertical and horizontal legs contiguous with one another, and a mounting arm pivotally mounted to the bracket by a pivot pin. The bracket legs each define a free end having an engaging portion disposed at about each free end. The bracket further defines a mounting arm receiving region and a pin receiving region at about a juncture of the legs. The mounting arm has an elongated mounting member configured for securing a sign thereto and a pivot portion at an end of the mounting arm. The pivot portion includes first and second engaging portions adapted to engage the vertical and horizontal leg engaging portions, respectively. The pivot pin is mounted to the mounting arm and pivotal about the bracket for positioning and securing the sign in an upwardly oriented storage position and a downwardly oriented display position. The arm engaging portions frictionally engage their leg engaging portions to maintain the sign in the display and storage positions.
