Claim Text:
1. A portable collapsible sign assembly comprising: a fabric wherein said fabric includes fabric holes, a support frame having more than one support frame member wherein said support frame is adjustable between a collapsed position and an expanded position, wherein said fabric and support frame members are in a tension relationship when said support frame is in an expanded position, wherein said fabric includes means to connect the fabric and one support frame member and the length of said means to connect the fabric and one support frame member can be adjusted, wherein an adjustment of the length of said means to connect the fabric and one support frame member when the support frame is an expanded position results in an adjustment of the tension relationship between the fabric and the support frame, wherein the fabric is positioned to allow and accept the placement of weighted objects which remain stationary on the fabric when the support frame is in its expanded position and the placement of such weighted objects on the fabric increases the sign assembly's resistance to movement, wherein five of the support frame members are inserted into the fabric holes, a non-rotating sliding carriage wherein said sliding carriage is installed on one support frame member and said sliding carriage is able to move along the length of the one support frame member on which the sliding carriage is installed, wherein said sliding carriage is connected to five support frame members, wherein said sliding carriage includes channel guides and said channel guides limit the movement direction of each of the five support frame members connected to the sliding carriage, wherein said sliding carriage includes a pop pin mechanism in combination with two holes drilled into the support frame member on which the sliding carriage is installed to fix the position of said sliding carriage in one position in which the support frame is in the expanded position and another position in which the support frame is in the collapsed position, wherein the five support frame members inserted into fabric holes include prongs and said prongs fix the position of the fabric on said five support frame members inserted into the fabric holes when the support frame is in the expanded position, wherein the five support frame members inserted into fabric holes include D-ring containment pins and said D-ring containment pins maintain the five support frame members inserted into the fabric holes when the support frame is in the collapsed position.
