Claim:
A sign frame, for use upon a ground surface, that is selectively deployed for display and collapsed for storage, comprising: a sign panel; a pair of vertical support posts each having a top end, a bottom end, a middle area, a stake extending downwardly from the bottom end for inserting into the ground and a foot peg extending inwardly from the bottom end to facilitate driving the stake into the ground, said vertical support posts hold the sign panel in position for display wherein the sign panel extends from the top end to the middle area of the vertical support posts; a horizontal support member having two ends, having a center area, and having a hinged lock attached to the center area, said horizontal support member is attached at each end to the middle area of each vertical support post for extending horizontally between the vertical support posts; a horizontal arm having a first end and second end that selectively extends between and connects the vertical support posts with a hinge pin connecting the first end of the horizontal arm to the top of the vertical posts, and an arm clip selectively engaging and connecting the horizontal arm to the top of the other of the vertical support posts, the horizontal arm is substantially rigid so as to provide stability while the sign is deployed; and a hinged lock attached at the center area of the horizontal support member, for selectively folding the horizontal support member in half when collapsing the sign frame and thereby causing the vertical support posts to come together, side by side.
