20100058635 | WIND DEFLECTABLE SIGN-STAND - A wind deflectable sign-stand includes a base, a mast for mounting a sign, and first and second polymeric resilient support members connecting the mast to the base. The mast has first and second mast members, and a breakaway member including a first end and a second end and being operably connected to the first and second mast members. The sign-stand is configured such that, upon sufficient impact, the breakaway member will fracture, thereby separating the first end and the second end. Such separation of the first end and the second end occurs along a breakaway section of the breakaway member, and the breakaway section defines a first acute angle with respect to a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the breakaway member. | 03-11-2010 |
