Sign having a reconfigurable display face
This disclosure describes a sign having a reconfigurable display face. In one example, the sign includes a sign body having a first display face and an opposed face, and a rotatable display member connected to the sign body and having a second display face. The reconfigurable display face includes the first display face and the second display face, and the display member is reconfigurable between a plurality of display orientations by rotation about a rotation axis.
1. A sign having a reconfigurable display face, the sign comprising:
a sign body having a first display face and an opposed face; and
a rotatable display member connected to the sign body and having a second display face, the reconfigurable display face comprising the first display face and the second display face,
wherein the display member is reconfigurable between a plurality of display orientations by rotation about a rotation axis,
wherein the display member comprises an electrical digital display, and
wherein the sign body has an aperture in the first display face configured to receive the display member in each of the display orientations.
2. The sign according to claim 1 , wherein the sign body is provided with a recess around the aperture, and the display member is complementarily shaped for receipt within the recess in each of the display orientations.
3. The sign according to claim 1 , wherein the display member has a body portion and a peripheral flange, wherein the body portion is complementarily shaped for receipt within the aperture when the flange abuts the sign body in each of the display orientations.
4. The sign according to claim 1 , wherein the display member has a body portion that is resiliently biased towards the sign body adjacent the aperture.
5. The sign according to claim 1 , wherein the display member has a display side and a control member extending away from the display side along the axis of rotation and accessible at the opposed face by a user for reconfiguration of the display member by the user between display orientations.
6. The sign according to claim 5 , wherein the sign body is provided with a recess into which the control member extends.
7. The sign according to claim 5 , wherein the control member is provided with a tool engagement feature for receiving a tool for rotating the display member.
8. The sign according to claim 1 , wherein the display member is connected to the sign body with a rotational mounting that is configured to limit the rotational range of the display member.
9. A sign having a reconfigurable display face, the sign comprising:
a sign body having a first display face and an opposed face; and
a rotatable display member connected to the sign body and having a second display face, the reconfigurable display face comprising the first display face and the second display face,
wherein the display member is reconfigurable between a plurality of display rotational orientations,
wherein the sign body has an aperture in the first display face configured to receive the display member in each of the display orientations, and
wherein the display member is reconfigurable between the plurality of display rotational orientations by axial movement to disengage the display member from within the aperture, rotation about a rotation axis, and a reverse axial movement to re-engage the display member within the aperture.
10. The sign according to claim 9 , wherein the sign body is provided with a recess around the aperture, and the display member is complementarily shaped for receipt within the recess in each of the display orientations.
11. The sign according to claim 9 , wherein the display member has a body portion and a peripheral flange, wherein the body portion is complementarily shaped for receipt within the aperture when the flange abuts the sign body in each of the display orientations.
12. The sign according to claim 9 , wherein the display member has a body portion that is resiliently biased towards the sign body adjacent the aperture.
13. The sign according to claim 9 , wherein the display member has a body portion that is magnetically attracted to the sign body adjacent the aperture.
14. The sign according to claim 9 , wherein the display member is connected to the sign body with a rotational mounting that is configured to limit the rotational range of the display member.
15. The sign according to claim 9 , wherein the display member comprises an electrical digital display.
16. The sign according to claim 9 , wherein in each orientation the second display face is flush with the first display face, in an at rest configuration.
17. The sign according to claim 9 , wherein the display member has a display side and a control member extending away from the display side along the rotation axis and accessible at the opposed face by a user for reconfiguration of the display member by the user between display orientations.
18. The sign according to claim 17 , wherein the sign body is provided with a recess into which the control member extends.
19. The sign according to claim 17 , wherein the control member is provided with a tool engagement feature for receiving a tool for rotating the display member.
20. A sign having a reconfigurable display face, the sign comprising:
a sign body having a first display face and an opposed face; and
a rotatable display member connected to the sign body and having a second display face, the reconfigurable display face comprising the first display face and the second display face,
wherein the display member is reconfigurable between a plurality of display orientations by rotation about a rotation axis,
wherein the sign body has an aperture in the first display face configured to receive the display member in each of the display orientations, and
wherein in each orientation the second display face is flush with the first display face, in an at rest configuration.
