20~0~7 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Outdoor advertising sign 20 includes a hollow post 22 anchored into the ground G in vertical position, into a concrete bed 24. An annular plate 25 is also anchored by bolts 26 to concrete 24, to surround the bottom edge section of post 22.
Post 22 is cross-sectionally polygonal (with an even number of sides) and tapers upwardly, i.e. its diameter progressively decreases from bottom to top. Two large, flat, open, rigid frames 28, 30 are transversely spacedly interconnected by three pairs of spaced arms 32, 34, 36 in slightly diverging fashion.
Each arm 32-36 is hollow, square in cross-section, with the upper arms 32 being longest and the lower arms being shortest, and with the spacing between the upper arms being smallest and that of the lower arms being largest.
The frames 28-30 are to be lowered onto post 22 by a crane or the like, first with the mouth defined between lower arms 36 freely engaging the top tip 22a of post 22, and then the ~; mouths of arms 34 and then of arms 32, until there is frictional engagement of the arms 32-36 edgewisely with registering spaced polygonal post sectlons. Such friction fit engagement of arms 32-36 with spaced sections of~post 22 should occur concurrently.
It will be understood that, as the frame assembly 28, ; 30 sinks along post 22 and as the arms 32-36 begin to frictionally edgewisely engage that post, the frame assembly will become - by its own weight - locked in position, not only against ; further sinking thereof but also against translational motion 20:~0947 around the post.
Indeed, two opposite flat walls of the even number of walls of the cross-sectlonally polygonal post 22 are to come ln sliding engagement with the inner walls 32a-32b, 34a-34b, 36a-36b of each pair of cross-sectionally square retaining arms 32, 34, or 36. Because of the increasing width of the post 22 from top to bottom, a locking wedge effect is produced by the sinking between the flat walls. Moreover, since post 22 is polygonal rather than circular in cross-section, tubular arms 32-36 and thus frames 28-30 will be prevented from rotating thereabout, because flatly abutting against flat seating wall sections thereof.
Also, as is apparent from figure 2, frames 28, 30 therefore become upwardly outwardly divergent.
Each frame 28, 30 is destined to flatly receive an advertlsement sheet medium, not illustrated, and to retain same via known retaining means, not shown. Preferably, each frame 28, 30 consists of a few vertical tubular members 28a, 30a and a few horizontal tubular members 28b, 30b transversely anchored to registering sections of the vertical tubular members.
Preferably, frames 28, 30 are rectangular with their long side along the vertical axis. Also preferably, arms 32-36 all depend from two quadrangular open frame members 38, 40 flatly abutting against and integral to main frames 28, 30 respectively. More particularly, as shown ln figure 6,l each arm e.g. arm 36a is welded at W to small, opposite, hollow, tubular bars 42a, 42b o~O/O~ 1 forming part of frame 40 and which are anchored to horizontal frame members 28b, 30b parallel thereto by brackets 44a, 44b.
Of course, any other suitable sign frame could also be envisioned to be mounted to the post.
In the alternate embodiment of advertisement sign 20' ~hown in figures 3a and 9, to a tapering, cross-sectionally circular post 22' is frictionally secured a pair of opposite advertising sign support frames 28, 30, through one or more pairs of spaced adjustable arm means 46. More particularly, these means 46 includes two plates 48, 50 anchored to tubular frames 42a, 42b transversely of post 22', and defining inner (facing) walls 48a, 50a having an intermediate shallow groove in the axis of post 22'. Thus, once plate assembly 50, 52 is allowed to sink around tapered post 22' from its top end downwardly, it will come to frictionally lock with a corresponding post section at a certain height, as in the first embodiment. Two arms 52, 54 are transversely mounted over plates 48, 50 for relative movement thereabout, through transverse end bolts 56 engaging slits 58 ~ -made longitudinally of plates 48, 50.
The two arms 52, 54 are endwisely interconnected by two : .
opposite threaded rods 60~ 62 each having screw threads at its two ends, their ends engaged by brackets 64, 65 anchored to arms 52, 54. The inner (facing) walls 52a, 54a of arms 52, 54 have a shallow intermediate groove similar to that of plates 48, 50, wherein they are designed to abut tangentially against post 22' transversely of walls 48a, 50a as illustrated in figure 3a. By pulllng by hand arms 52, 54, bolts 56 wlll sllde through slits 58 and the arms 52, 54 will move toward each other to take in sandwich post 22'. Furthermore, by screwing in positlon the arms 52, 54 with nuts 66 engaging the screw threads of rods 60, 62, to abut against seats 64, 65, the arms will frictionally come to retain post 22', and thus, to retain frames 28, 30, against rotation.
Thereafter, by simply lifting the frame assembly 28-30 with a crane or the llke, the securing means ~s released for e.g.
maintenance, change of advertising sheet medium, change of the desired height of the sheet medium, and the like. Of course, once the frame assembly is in its chosen friction fit locking engagement with the post, one may choose to forfeit or relinquish the releasable capability of the securing means, by fixedly securing the arms to the post, e.g. by welding W (figure 3).

Outdoor advertising sign 20 includes a hollow post 22 anchored into the ground G in vertical position, into a concrete bed 24. An annular plate 25 is also anchored by bolts 26 to concrete 24, to surround the bottom edge section of post 22.
Post 22 is cross-sectionally polygonal (with an even number of sides) and tapers upwardly, i.e. its diameter progressively decreases from bottom to top. Two large, flat, open, rigid frames 28, 30 are transversely spacedly interconnected by three pairs of spaced arms 32, 34, 36 in slightly diverging fashion.
Each arm 32-36 is hollow, square in cross-section, with the upper arms 32 being longest and the lower arms being shortest, and with the spacing between the upper arms being smallest and that of the lower arms being largest.
The frames 28-30 are to be lowered onto post 22 by a crane or the like, first with the mouth defined between lower arms 36 freely engaging the top tip 22a of post 22, and then the ~; mouths of arms 34 and then of arms 32, until there is frictional engagement of the arms 32-36 edgewisely with registering spaced polygonal post sectlons. Such friction fit engagement of arms 32-36 with spaced sections of~post 22 should occur concurrently.
It will be understood that, as the frame assembly 28, ; 30 sinks along post 22 and as the arms 32-36 begin to frictionally edgewisely engage that post, the frame assembly will become - by its own weight - locked in position, not only against ; further sinking thereof but also against translational motion 20:~0947 around the post.

Because of the increasing width of the post 22 from top to bottom, a locking wedge effect is produced by the sinking between the flat walls. Moreover, since post 22 is polygonal rather than circular in cross-section, tubular arms 32-36 and thus frames 28-30 will be prevented from rotating thereabout, because flatly abutting against flat seating wall sections thereof.
Also, as is apparent from figure 2, frames 28, 30 therefore become upwardly outwardly divergent.

Preferably, each frame 28, 30 consists of a few vertical tubular members 28a, 30a and a few horizontal tubular members 28b, 30b transversely anchored to registering sections of the vertical tubular members.
Preferably, frames 28, 30 are rectangular with their long side along the vertical axis. Also preferably, arms 32-36 all depend from two quadrangular open frame members 38, 40 flatly abutting against and integral to main frames 28, 30 respectively. More particularly, as shown ln figure 6,l each arm e.g. arm 36a is welded at W to small, opposite, hollow, tubular bars 42a, 42b o~O/O~ 1 forming part of frame 40 and which are anchored to horizontal frame members 28b, 30b parallel thereto by brackets 44a, 44b.
Of course, any other suitable sign frame could also be envisioned to be mounted to the post.
In the alternate embodiment of advertisement sign 20' ~hown in figures 3a and 9, to a tapering, cross-sectionally circular post 22' is frictionally secured a pair of opposite advertising sign support frames 28, 30, through one or more pairs of spaced adjustable arm means 46.

The two arms 52, 54 are endwisely interconnected by two : .
