Abstract:
A light box comprising:a housing having a generally flat rear wall, said wall having an outer periphery edge;a front wall having an edge and a translucent panel through which light can pass;side walls extending from the periphery edge of the flat rear wall to the edges of said front wall;a light source mounted inside the housing, said source being controlled to selectively provide light to said translucent panel, the improvement comprising a flat, generally, planar leg:a shallow depression in the outer surface of said rear wall shaped to receive said flat leg in a storage position with a loose fit between the longitudinal edges of the depression or in an operational position wherein the leg projects outward from the edge of the rear wall in substantially the same plane as the rear wall;said leg sized to fit into said shallow depression in said rear wall and pivotally secured to said wall to rotate between said operational position and said storage position, said leg being resiliently flexible so as to be able to bend sufficiently under a normal force to clear undepressed areas of said rear wall when pivoting between said storage and operational positions, but to move back into the depression upon reaching said depression in the absence of a normal bending force.
