Patent ID: 7886467

Claim:
A sign frame assembly, comprising: a first frame and a second frame, the frames having top portions which are journally connected; at least one of the frames having side legs, the side legs approximately orthogonal to the top portion, and the side legs being approximately parallel to each other; a lower cross bar joining the side legs and an upper cross bar disposed parallel to the lower cross bar and joining the side legs, the side legs, an inner surface of the lower cross bar and an inner surface of the upper cross-bar approximately defining a surface of a first plane; and a panel connecting the side legs, the panel being disposed such that a second plane approximately defined by a facing surface of the panel is displaced by a distance S from the first plane, wherein the lower cross bar has a first surface orthogonal to the first plane, the first surface facing the top portion, and extending from an inner vertical portion of the lower cross bar towards the second plane.
