Abstract
A changeable sign comprises a support wall for changeable sign components having removably attached thereto a plurality of thin, flat, rectangular, flexible sign component pieces arranged in close contiguous rows so as to fill an entire sign-forming area of the sign and so that the sign component pieces from a distance appear to form a single sheet sign having one continuous flat surface. The sign component pieces are of two basic types, one type being indicia-containing sign component pieces having visible from the front faces thereof one or more numeric digits, symbols, and/or alphabet character indicia so as to form alone or with other adjacent sign component piece, numbers, words, and/or the like, and the other type being blank spacer component pieces which fit between adjacent indicia-containing sign component pieces. There are spacer component pieces between adjacent rows of the indicia-forming pieces which are horizontally elongated strips extending the full width of the sign and spacer component pieces between indicia-containing pieces in each row of the same which are narrow pieces.
