Abstract:
A variable sign display system for displaying one of two selectable messages. The variable sign display may include a housing and a sliding board contained within the housing. The sliding board includes two messages. In use, one of the messages is displayed by laterally sliding the sliding board while the other message is concealed via a front of the housing. The variable sign display is useful for hotel doors or other applications requiring convenient selection of a message to be visibly displayed.
