Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1  A sign holder comprising a sheet of material having a pair of parallel laminas with parallel elongate connecting portions extending between opposing side edges forming elongate openings between the laminas and the connecting portions, and a resilient elongate rod member having a lower ground engagement portion with two arms projecting upwards therefrom, said arms each having inward projecting ends to fit into one of the elongate openings in each of the opposing side edges of the sheet, said inward projecting ends being mutually spaced apart.  
     
     
         2 . The sign holder according to  claim 1  wherein the resilient elongate rod member is formed of a length of wire, and the lower ground engagement portion is a U-bend with said arms projecting therefrom.  
     
     
         3 . The sign holder according to  claim 2  wherein said arms project from the U-bend in a V-shape form, and said inward projecting ends are spaced apart to engage in the opposing side edges of the elongate openings.  
     
     
         4 . The sign holder according to  claim 3  wherein the V-shaped form is tensioned so that the inward projecting ends are retained in the elongate openings.  
     
     
         5 . A sign holder, comprising a sheet of material formed of a pair of spaced laminas with opposite side edges, a plurality of parallel elongate connecting portions extending from the opposite side edges between said laminas forming elongate openings between said connecting portions, and a length of wire bent to form a ground-engagement member and an upper portion, said upper portion having a pair of upper ends, one of said upper ends bent to project into one of the elongate openings in one of said opposite side edges of the sheet, and the other of said upper ends bent to project into one of the elongate openings in the other of said opposite side edges of the sheet.  
     
     
         6 . The sign holder as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said ground engagement portion comprises a U-shaped bend, said U-shaped bend having arms which extend upwardly parallel to and adjacent one another, whereby said ground engagement member forms a ground penetration prong.
