Back-lit fascia with spring loaded fascia tensioner

摘要

A sign frame assembly for supporting a flexible fascia. In one embodiment, a frame member extends in a first direction and has first and second bracket-mounting sections spaced apart from each other in the first direction. First and second brackets have inner and outer opposite ends. The inner end of the first bracket is attached to the first bracket-mounting section of the first frame member. The inner end of the second bracket are pivotally mounted to the second bracket-mounting section of the frame member. First and second elongated fascia attachment members are affixed respectively to the outer ends of the first and second brackets. A flexible fascia having oppositely disposed edges is connected to the first and second elongated members. A bias member is operatively disposed between the frame member and the second bracket such that the bias member exerts a rotational force on the second bracket in a direction tending to spread apart the elongated fascia attachment members and tension the flexible fascia therebetween. Additional embodiments utilizing biased pivotal fascia tension members are disclosed.
