Apparatuses are disclosed, including apparatuses providing a rotatable sign configured with a base, a display panel, and a support, where a portion of the support defines a horizontal axis and is secured to the panel. The base may be configured to hold the support to allow rotation about the horizontal axis, the height of the horizontal axis of the support may be equal to or lower than a midpoint of the panel height. In addition, apparatuses are disclosed that include a counterweight attached to a support, where some or all of the counterweight may be below the horizontal axis of the support when the support is in an initial rotational position, such that it is disposed to return a sign back to its vertical orientation when in use.

Yard sign anchor and stabilizer
10140894 · 2018-11-27 ·

Various embodiments of anchor/stabilizers intended for use with yard signs that assist in keeping the yard signs standing perfectly upright (or plumb) over time. The device is a separate piece that attaches to the upright posts of the yard sign. In one embodiment, the device is formed of an elongate support and a flat metal plate that is welded to an intermediate portion of the elongate support, such that one surface of the plate is co-planar with the exterior surface of the elongate support. The plate has a plurality of holes spaced around its surface to facilitate fastening the device to the outer surface of each of the vertical posts. The anchor/stabilizer can come in a variety of lengths and sizes, depending on the environmental conditions and forces likely to be encountered at a particular installation site.

Sign and fabrication thereof

A method of making signs includes printing selected visual content on a surface of material. Punch holes along at least two outer edges of the material. Orient U-stake at an x-axis of the material and thread the leg portions of the stake through the holes. Fold the material over the U-stake along the x-axis of the material, the folding dividing the material into parts, a first part and a second part, and orients the first part and the second part such that a first side of the first part adjacent to a first side of the second part, after the folding, comprise no printed visual content, and a second side of the first part and a second side of the second part comprise outer surfaces and comprise the visual content. Secure the first part to the second part.
