Abstract
A sign mounting system for mounting at least two signs portions to an associated structure mounts the sign portions in an aligned manner so that separate sign portions appear as a single sign. The mounting system includes a plurality of sign mounts, one sign mount for each of the sign portions. Each of the sign mounts is configured to support a sign portion. Each sign mount includes first and second brackets and an arm associated with each bracket. The arms pivot about the brackets at a pivot axis. The first and second brackets have oppositely, outwardly facing surfaces. The outwardly facing surface of the first bracket has a first mating element thereon and the outwardly facing surface of the second bracket has a second mating element thereon. The second mating element of the second bracket of the first sign mount is configured to mate with the first mating element of the first bracket of the second sign mount to maintain the two sign portions aligned with one another.
