A roll-up type portable roadside sign of the type normally used with a resilient stand member. A novel warning flag mounting system is disclosed for such sign wherein the warning flags are retained in association with the sign such that they are collapsible with the roll-up sign cross members and remain attached thereto. Such mounting is achieved by pivotably attaching the warning flag poles to the substantially vertical cross member of the sign. A rotatable support bracket is also attached to the cross member and includes a pair of spaced curled ends which receive the warning flag poles such that they extend substantially upward and are disengageable therefrom in order to permit collapsing of the sign assembly. The support bracket is rotatable such that it assumes a position substantially collinear with the remainder of the sign components, enabling the entire assembly to be quickly and conveniently stored. An alternative embodiment is described wherein means for mounting a third vertically extending warning flag rod is provided.

In a sign assembly of the type being collapsible from a display configuration to a storage configuration, the sign assembly having at least one cross member supporting a sign, and further having at least one warning flag attached to a corresponding warning flag rod, the improvement comprising: a first pivot means having a shaft and being affixed to said cross member for pivotably attaching the warning flag rod thereto; a second pivot means affixed to the cross member; and a warning flag support bracket pivotally attached to said cross member by said second pivot means, said warning flag support bracket having at least one curled end, said flag rod being journaled for rotation about said shaft of said first pivot means and said curled end being positionable to limit the pivotal movement of said flag rod in at least one rotational direction to hold said flag in the display configuration but otherwise free of rotational restraint, the warning flag rod and said bracket further being selectively pivotable into a substantially collinear relationship with respect to said cross member when the sign assembly is in the storage configuration, the warning flag rod extending in the display configuration in a generally opposite direction from that of the warning flag rod in the storage configuration.
