An illuminated display or sign includes a hollow glass block defining a closed chamber. One or more block walls are severable for access to the chamber. A neon display or other light source of any configuration is mounted upon the glass block and includes tubular extensions sealed through one wall of the block enclosing electrodes within the chamber. A transformer is enclosed within the chamber with output leads connected to the electrodes. A switch is mounted upon the block and projects into the chamber with a exterior control. Electric leads are connectable to a power source then into the block and are connected to the transformer with a switch interposed in one of the electrical leads within the chamber. As a modification, a display sign is supported within the chamber. As a further modification, two or more glass blocks are arranged in a row or intersecting rows to form a panel, with an independent display in each block or a unit display extending into and enclosed by a plurality of adjacent blocks.

An illuminated display or sign comprising a pair of opposed hollow glass blocks, each block having side, top and bottom walls and a single end wall, with the adjacent open ends of the blocks aligned and in engaging registry; adhesive means interconnecting the engaging open ends of said blocks defining a chamber; said adhesive means being severable for access to said chamber; each of said blocks upon the interior of their top, bottom and end walls having a central channel, with the channels of said block defining an internal peripheral mount flange; an elongated upright mount panel of rectangular shape nested within said chamber and frictionally bearing against said mount flange; a tubular neon display of a predetermined configuration secured upon and along said panel, and terminating at its ends in a pair of electrodes; a transformer having primary and secondary coils anchored within said chamber and upon one of said walls, and including a pair of electrical leads extending from said secondary coil and connected to said electrodes respectively; a manual on/off switch extending through and anchored upon one of said walls and extending into said chamber, and including a control arm upon the exterior of said wall; and a pair of power leads extending through one of said walls at their one ends adapted for connection to an electrical power source; said power leads at their other ends being connected to said primary coil, with said switch interposed within one of said power leads.
