Abstract:
A sign holder apparatus, comprising:a sign sheet receiving channel having opposing channel side walls extending forwardly from and interconnected by a sheet abutment panel having a forward sheet abutment surface, said channel side walls having substantially parallel edge receiving grooves angled and opening toward each other and toward said sheet abutment surface; a flexible and resilient sign sheet sized to slide into said sign sheet receiving channel from an end of said sign sheet receiving channel with opposing sign sheet edges simultaneously sliding into said edge receiving grooves, the angles of said edge receiving grooves relative to said sheet abutment surface bowing said sign sheet against said sheet abutment surface such that friction between said sheet edges and said edge receiving grooves and between said sign sheet and said sheet abutment surface firmly retains said sign sheet against sliding out of said receiving channel with the force of its own weight when said apparatus is handled and tilted, and yet permits manual sliding of said sign sheet out of said sign sheet receiving channel; wherein each said edge receiving groove is substantially rectilinear along its depth.
