Patent attributes
Apparatus permitting adjustment of the length of a section of an illuminated sign such as is used to provide a visual indication of a particular service provided by a given vendor, such as a vendor of service station products and services, the invention provides for fitting of a last section of a succession of sections to a particular lengthwise dimension mandated by the structure to which the illuminated sign is mounted. Illumination sources, particularly sets of light emitting diodes, cause both forwardly and rearwardly directed light to be respectively diffused through a diffuser or reflected from a surface to which the sign is mounted to provide a glow yielding the intended visual affect. At least certain of the light emitting diodes are mounted by sliding elements movable along an elongated track to permit location of said light emitting diodes in an appropriate location within a section which has been trimmed to an appropriate length, thereby providing a desired illumination along the length of the trimmed section or along the length of a section which does not require adjustment of its lengthwise dimension.
