Sign standard comprising two oppositely formed front legs interconnected at their upper ends with a rearwardly disposable third leg through the use of an arcuate joiner means. Each of the two front legs includes a minor upper section which is laterally, angularly disposed with respect to a major lower section. The arcuate joiner means is fixedly attached to the upper end portion of the third leg from which leg said joiner means extend laterally in opposite directions and extend through transverse openings provided in the upper portions of the two front legs. The two front legs and the arcuate joiner means cooperate together to permit the sign standard to assume an open position wherein the lower ends of all three legs are spaced apart relative to each other and to assume a closed position wherein the three legs are in closely adjacent, aligned relationship. Furthermore, means are provided for supporting a diamond shaped sign mounted on the two front legs.

A portable, retractable sign standard comprising: (a) a formed first leg having a major lower section and a minor upper section, said two sections being angularly disposed relative to each other about a first medial juncture; (b) a formed second leg having a major lower section and a minor upper section, said two sections being laterally angularly disposed relative to each other about a second medial juncture in a manner oppositely to said first leg; (c) a rearwardly positionable third leg disposed between said first and second legs; (d) arcuate joiner means interconnecting said three legs, said joiner means being fixedly attached to the upper end portion of one of said three legs; (e) transverse openings being defined by the upper end portions of the other two legs for receiving said joiner means; (f) said joiner means being lengthwise slidable through said two openings to permit said first, second and third legs to shift laterally between: a closed position wherein said first leg lower section, said second leg lower section and said third leg being aligned adjacent to each other with said third leg being disposed between said first leg lower section and said second leg lower section, and said first leg upper section and said second leg upper section each extending upwardly and oppositely, laterally outwardly from said first and second medial junctures, respectively, and an open position for supporting a sign wherein said upper sections of said first and second legs being aligned adjacent each other with the upper end portion of said third leg being disposed therebetween, and said lower sections of said first and second legs each extending downwardly and oppositely, laterally outwardly from said first and second medial junctures, respectively, while the lower portion of said third leg extending rearwardly of said first and second legs; (g) a cross member fixedly attached to one of said first and second legs, said cross member being cantilevered generally laterally from its point of attachment to bear against the other of said first and second legs to restrain said first and second legs from pivoting about their respective longitudinal axis when said first and second legs being in open position; and (h) means for supporting a sign mounted on said first and second legs.
