Abstract:
1. A Snap N Place sign system, comprising: a sign substrate having a back surface and a front surface, the sign substrate including at least one hole formed through the sign substrate from its front surface to its back surface and a counter-sunk hole of a larger diameter than the at least one hole formed through the sign substrate that is formed partially into the back surface of the sign substrate in association with the hole formed through the sign substrate; at least one rubber nipple fastener including an enlarged head, a tapered shank and a flexible tab, wherein the flexible tab serves as a nipple for the at least one rubber nipple fastener and has a diameter that is larger than the tapered shank and smaller than the enlarged head, wherein the at least on rubber fastener passes through the hole formed in the substrate from the tapered shank to the enlarged head, and wherein the enlarged head remains held in the counter-sunk hole and the tapered shank and the nipple passes through and protrudes from the front surface of the sign substrate; a replaceable sign message having at least one mounting hole having at least a same diameter as a widest art of the enlarged head, wherein the at least one mounting hole accepts the nipple of the at least one rubber nipple fastener and the nipple is passed through the hole of the replaceable sign to thereby move the hole of the replaceable sign over the shank protruding from the front surface of the sign substrate; and a lens having at least one lens mounting hole of a smaller diameter than the nipple tab and at least of a same diameter of a widest part of the to tapered shank, wherein said at least one lens mounting hole accepts the nipple of the at least one rubber nipple fastener and the nipple is pulled through the hole of the lens to thereby move the hole of the lens over the shank protruding from the front surface of the sign substrate for securely holding the sign message against the surface of the sign substrate at the shank and beneath the nipple because of the nipple's larger diameter than the lens mounting hole.
