An apparatus (100), including: a framework (104) configured to be secured to a vehicle; an arm base (106) configured to pivot relative to the framework between a retracted position and an extended position; an arm (110) removably secured to and extending from the arm base; and a shock absorber (142) configured to absorb shock and to prevent relative movement between the arm base and the arm.

A foldable display includes a first frame, a second frame, and a third frame. The display includes a first frame hinge that rotatably couples the first frame to the second frame about a first axis. The display includes a second frame hinge that rotatably couples the second frame to the third frame about a second axis. A linkage assembly is attached to the first frame and to the second frame. The linkage assembly limits a maximum angle between the first frame and the second frame when the linkage assembly is fully extended, creating a base structure with the first frame and the second frame, supporting the foldable display. The display includes a clasp rotatably about a clasp hinge and attached to the third frame. The clasp is attachable to the first frame at a clasp receiver.

A safety sign device is for a vehicle. The safety sign device may include a hinge being coupled a side of the vehicle, and an arm. The arm may include an elongate base, an electric motor coupled to the elongate base, an elongate housing coupled to the elongate base, and visual indicators carried by the elongate housing. The safety sign device may also include a sign coupled to the arm and being parallel to the arm. The hinge may include a pin, and a link assembly coupled between the pin and the electric motor and being rotatable about the pin. The electric motor may be configured to extend and retract the arm between a retracted position and an extended position.

An illuminated display device that includes a hinge post, a support post positioned in a laterally spaced relationship to the hinge post, and at least one support arm pivotably coupled to the hinge post and movable between a first position and an second position. The at least one support arm is configured to engage with the support post when moved to the first position. The illuminated display device further includes a display assembly supported by the at least one support arm and configured to support at least one display screen.
