DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] The detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein. It should be understood, however, that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, which may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, the details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as the basis for the claims and as a basis for teaching one skilled in the art how to make and/or use the invention.

[0010] The carrying case [1] of the present invention, depicted in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, is made from any material of sufficient rigidity and strength to adequately protect and house signs of various sizes, generally comprises two opposing panels, one of which [3] can be seen in FIG. 1. There may be one compartment within the carrying case of the present invention or as seen in FIG. 3, there may be several [9]. The carrying case can be opened and closed along its lateral [4], top [5] and bottom [6] using any traditional means such as a zipper or simple Velcro.

[0011] FIG. 2 depicts one of the outside panels [3] opened to view the inside securing straps [7]. The straps [7], preferably 2, are attached to the inside edges of the carrying case at the top and are of sufficient length to extend the full length of the elongated legs of the metal frame to which the sign is attached. At the bottom end of said straps [7] are pockets [8] into which the sharpened ends of the elongated legs of the sign frames are placed. The sharpened ends of frames are essential to stake the signs into the ground. As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the carrying case of the present invention includes a handle or strap [2] either attached to the sides or top of the carrying case so that the case can be easily carried.
