Abstract
The present invention discloses a tool to permit the support and lifting of a planar sign member to a ceiling so as to attach that sign to a ceiling support rail. The tool comprises an elongated pole having a first or lower end and a second or upper end and a frame assembly attached to the upper end of the pole. A pair of spaced apart yokes are mounted on the top side of the frame assembly. Each yoke is arranged to directionally align and hold a ceiling anchor thereon, from which anchor, sign support hooks hang, to permit a sign to be hung from the anchor upon the anchors being secured to a ceiling rail by the tool extending thereagainst.
