Abstract
A sign stand for supporting signs in windy environments includes a base, a staff portion extended from the base and an upper portion for receiving and displaying a sign. The sign stand includes a mechanism permitting pivoting of the sign to spill wind load and includes a mechanism for applying a restoring force to restore the sign to its normal vertical position on removal of the wind load. The restoring mechanism may be incorporated in the base structure and can utilize a tension spring to provide the restoring force.
