A display system for displaying display members such as numbers, letter or
other indicia, e.g., for use in signage for displaying the price of
gasoline on the premises of a service station. The display system of the
invention utilizes magnets to facilitate easy substitution of display
elements. The display system has a support surface supporting at least one
securing member, which is preferably a V-shaped member having an upwardly
facing recess. A magnet is provided proximate the securing member. A
display member is provided with at least one secured member, e.g., an
inverted isosceles triangle having a downwardly facing apex for
complementary engagement with said upwardly facing recess of the securing
member. A metallic mass is located proximate to the secured member for
magnetic engagement with the magnet proximate the securing member. An
extendable arm is preferably provided for manipulating the display members
when the display members are mounted high off of the ground. Although the
securing member is discussed as being located on the support surface, it
should be understood that secured member may located on the support
surface and vice versa. Similarly, the locations of the metallic mass and
magnetic mass may be switched and still fall within the contemplated scope
of the invention.
