Abstract:
This disclosure describes an LED sign that has the exterior appearance of a neon sign, but is much easier and less expensive to mass produce, and has none of the environmentally challenging elements of a neon sign. The sign has a frame that mounts to a background element, through which one or more channels are routed or molded. Flexible LED light tubes are laid into the channels and then closed off with heat shrink tubes. Because the LED light tubes are restrained in the channel, the sign takes on the desired shape that has been formed into the background, allowing the sign to be mass-produced economically for even small quantities, as there is no need for an expensive mold. The background can be 1-piece, or made from multiple pieces connected to each other in a removable fashion.

Claim (Index 16):
The modular lighted sign of  claim 15 , wherein the flexible light tube comprises a first end having a first end cap positioned thereon to seal the first end, and a second end having a second end cap positioned thereon to seal the second end.
