The ferromagnetic panels can sit on top of regular signs or simply sit on the ground. In the latter instance, the ferromagnetic panel can sit in a frame that has a flat base that can simply rest on the ground, two runners to support the sign on the ground, or spikes attached to the runners that will penetrate soil to hold the sign. The frame may hold the ferromagnetic panel with its sign in a fixed position or allow it to rotate 180 degrees. | 03-15-2012 |
20130036639 | Commercial signs including magnetic components incorporating replaceable messages - A sign utilizing interchangeable, replaceable magnetic displays adhering to a ferromagnetic layer. The information, printed on the magnetic layers, retains their original freshness and crispness until removed and their replacements installed in their stead. Installing the new magnetic displays proves very facile and only requires removing the old magnetic display from its smooth, ferromagnetic panel and placing the new magnetic sign in its stead. The ferromagnetic panels can sit on top of regular signs which may include translucent panels with information visible through the panels. The ferromagnetic panel can clamp onto the regular sign since it requires no internal lighting. This arrangement avoids the need to penetrate any surface of the nonmagnetic sign. The ferromagnetic panel may have a nonflat configuration, and the magnetic sheet a flexibility to adhere intimately to the panel. The magnetic sign may, in fact, include several sections for flexibility in the sign's installation and content. | 02-14-2013 |
