Abstract
An architectural sign system includes a pair of support columns fabricated as one-piece extrusions and defining an outer surface and an inner surface. An elongated channel opens through the inner surface of each column. The channel includes spaced, parallel sidewalls which define a plurality of opposed reveal grooves. A sign body is formed from a plurality of individual body members. A sign face retainer including a plurality of joined individual retainer members is secured to the sign body. A pair of elongated reveals are attached to opposed sides of the sign body. The reveals include outwardly extending reveal or slide flanges adapted to be disposed within opposed ones of the reveal grooves to provide for selectable reveal widths. The sign body members define elongated hinge grooves. The retainer face members define integral hinge beads dimensioned to be disposed within the grooves so that the sign face may be pivoted to the body to provide access to the interior thereof.
