DETAILED DESCRIPTION

A flexible yard sign that provides for flexing or bending when contacted or disrupted by another object or person and then returning to its original or upright position afterward, is disclosed. The flexible yard sign includes a spike, a platform attached to the spike, a spring attached at one end of the platform, and a sign panel secured to the end of the spring opposite the platform, and provides for flexing or bending when contacted by another object and then returning to its original or upright position afterward.


When installed with the spike portion inserted vertically into the ground, the spring and sign panel combination extend above the ground in a manner that provides for the flexible yard sign to flex or bend when contacted by another object and then return to its original or upright position.


Pet traffic is of concern to homeowners and other public areas providing green space. The need for walking and exercising one's dog(s) for example, necessitates managing the grounds to maintain the areas free from dog or other animal waste. When walking or exercising one's pet, it is not always clear when or where dogs are allowed for example. It is also easy for the pet owner to forget or otherwise neglect to clean up after their dog. Yard signs are useful as reminders to encourage the owners to clean up after their pets.


However, the nature of such signs is often such that they are damaged, pointing the wrong way, or simply knocked down. If the pet owner doesn't see the sign, then the likelihood of mistakes and/or forgetting to clean up increases. It is even more likely in neighborhood yards, that signs are lost, knocked down, and/or missing due to the nature of lawn maintenance where the signs are often moved and/or not returned.


The flexible yard sign flexes or bends when contacted by another object, such as a person, lawnmower, or hose, and then returns to its original or upright position. The flexible yard sign doesn't have to be removed for watering or mowing and is more likely to remain in its original orientation for visibility.



FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a flexible yard sign 100-A, and FIG. 2 is an exploded diagram of the flexible yard sign 100-A. In the illustrated embodiment, the flexible yard sign 100-A includes a spike 110, a platform 112, a spring 120, and a sign panel 130-A. The platform 112 is attached to the spike 110, and one end of the spring 120 is secured to the platform 112. The sign panel 130-A is secured to the end of the spring 120 opposite the platform 112.


In a typical embodiment, the spike 110 is of sufficient length to extend into the ground and further provides strength and rigidity to prevent the flexible yard sign 100-A from being easily removed, pushed down, or inadvertently pulled from the ground into which it is placed. The spike 110 is made from metal or other rigid material having sufficient strength to maintain a generally straight configuration along its length. The spike 110 is formed of metal having a generally straight configuration that wraps or twists cylindrically around the axis along its length to provide for improved retention in the ground into which it is placed. The twist along the axis of the spike 110 provides for increased holding strength into the ground and makes the spike 110 less likely to easily pull from the ground at a direction different from the insertion angle.


A platform 112 is affixed to the end of the spike 110 that extends above the ground level when installed. The platform 112 is typically a flat or disc-like circular material made from a rigid metal such as that from which the spike 110 is made. In a typical embodiment, the platform 112 is welded to the end of the spike 110. In the illustrated embodiment, the platform 112 includes three equally spaced prongs cut from the platform 112 in a manner that provides for securing the spring 120 securely to the platform 112. In a typical embodiment, the prongs fold over the end coil of the spring 120 to secure it in place to the platform 112. In this way, the spring 120 is secured to the platform 112 while providing a flexible base attachment for the sign panel 130-A.


The spring 120 is secured to the platform 112 at one end while being secured to the sign panel 130-A at the opposing end. Springs are made from a variety of elastic materials, with the most common choice being spring steel. Spring steel includes a wide range of steels used in the manufacture of springs of an industrial nature so that objects made from spring steel return to their original shape when any deflection or twisting forces are removed. In the illustrated embodiment, the spring 120 is a helical or coil spring designed for tension. In a typical embodiment, the spring 120 is made from spring steel.


The sign panel 130-A is a flat, rectangular shaped, material suitable for including a message on either or both sides (opposing faces) of the material. In typical embodiment, the sign panel 130-A has weatherproof or water-resistant characteristics so that the flexible yard sign 130-A is durable in varying weather conditions. In the illustrated embodiment, the visible face of the sign panel 130-A includes an image of a circle with a single line extending at an angle across the circle all superimposed over an image of a dog stooping to relieve itself. In the illustrated embodiment, the message “PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL” is positioned above and below the image on the face of the sign panel 130-A. The image shown in the illustrated embodiment, is a singular example of the type messages that are envisioned for a face of the sign panel 130-A. Of course, the same image, a similar image, or even a completely different message may be included on the opposing face of the sign panel 130-A. For example, messages as common as “KEEP OFF THE GRASS” or “NO TRESPASSING” or any other suitable message may also be utilized for the sign panel 130-A.


In one embodiment, the sign panel 130-A includes a number of spring holes 132 at or near one end of the sign panel 130-A. The spring 120 is secured to one end of the sign panel 130-A via screwing or twisting the spring 120 into or through the respective spring holes 132. In the illustrated embodiment, the sign panel 130-A includes two parallel rows of spring holes 132. One of the parallel rows is offset slightly from the corresponding row to accommodate the coil offsets as the spring 120 is screwed or twisted into the sign panel 130-A. In the illustrated embodiment, each row of spring holes 132 includes three spring holes 132. In practice of course, the actual number of spring holes 132 in either row may vary according to design choice and/or the size of the sign panel 130-A. The spring 120 is secured via screwing or twisting the spring 120 into or through the respective spring holes 132 in a manner so that the coils of the spring 120 extend through a spring hole 132 and back through the next spring hole 132 successively until the coils extend through all or most of the available spring holes 132.


In the illustrated embodiment, the spring 120 is a helical or coil spring that includes a sufficient number coils that provide enough length that the flexible yard sign 100-A flexes when contacted by a dog, hose, person, lawnmower or any other yard implements that may come in contact with the flexible yard sign 100-A, for example. When installed with the spike 110 portion inserted vertically into the ground, the spring 120 and sign panel 130-A combination extend above the ground in a manner that provides the capability for the combination to flex or bend when contacted by another object and then return to its original or upright position. For example, when contacted by the side edge of a lawnmower base, the flexible yard sign 100-A will bend away from the lawnmower base and then return to its upright position when the lawnmower base is no longer present. In another example, a garden hose that is being dragged across the yard will typically pull or push the flexible yard sign 100-A until the garden hose moves past the upper portion or sign panel 130-A of the flexible yard sign 100-A after which the flexible yard sign 100-A will return to its original or upright position.

Lastly, FIG. 4-A is a side view of the flexible yard sign 100-A and FIG. 4-B is a reverse side view of the flexible yard sign 100-A. It should be noted that in the illustrated example, the same image is utilized on both the front and rear faces of the sign panel 130-A. As noted above, for various embodiments the respective images may also be different or an image may only be placed on one face of the sign panel 130-A according to the specifics of the situation and/or sign requirements.


It is evident in FIG. 3-B and FIG. 3-C respectively that the coils of the spring 120 extend into one of the spring holes 132 of the sign panel 130-A on one face and coming out the same spring hole 132 of the opposite face, then extending across and into another spring hole 132 on that same face, and continuing until the coils of the spring 120 extend through the remaining spring holes 132 of the sign panel 130-A. It should also be noted that the upper coil of the spring 120 comes to rest at or near one face of the sign panel 130-A as is readily apparent in the opposing side views of FIG. 4-A and FIG. 4-B respectively.



FIG. 5 is a perspective view illustrating an alternative flexible yard sign 100-B, and FIG. 6 is an exploded diagram of the alternative flexible yard sign 100-B. In the illustrated embodiment, the flexible yard sign 100-B includes a spike 110, a platform 112, a spring 120, a mount 140, and a sign panel 130-B. The platform 112 is attached to the spike 110 and the spring 120 is secured to the platform 112. The sign panel 130-B is secured to the mount 140 at the end of the spring 120 opposite the platform 112.


In a typical embodiment, the spike 110 is of sufficient length to extend into the ground and further provides strength and rigidity to prevent the flexible yard sign 100-B from being easily removed, pushed down, or inadvertently pulled from the ground into which it is placed. The spike 110 is made from metal or other rigid material having sufficient strength to maintain a generally straight configuration along its length. The spike 110 is formed of metal having a generally straight configuration that wraps or twists cylindrically around the axis along its length to provide for improved retention in the ground into which it is placed. The twist along the axis of the spike 110 provides for increased holding strength into the ground and makes the spike 110 less likely to easily pull from the ground at a direction different from the insertion angle.


A platform 112 is affixed to the end of the spike 110 that extends above the ground level when installed. The platform 112 is typically a flat or disc like circular material made from a rigid metal such as that from which the spike 110 is made. In a typical embodiment, the platform 112 is welded to the end of the spike 110. In the illustrated embodiment, the platform 112 includes three equally spaced prongs cut from the platform 112 in a manner that provides for securing the spring 120 securely to the platform 112. In a typical embodiment, the prongs fold over the end coil of the spring 120 to secure it in place to the platform 112. In this way, the spring 120 is secured to the platform 112 while providing a flexible base attachment for the sign panel 130-B.


The spring 120 is secured to the platform 112 at one end while being secured to the sign panel 130-B via a mount 140 at the opposing end. Springs are made from a variety of elastic materials, with the most common choice being spring steel. Spring steel includes a wide range of steels used in the manufacture of springs of an industrial nature so that objects made from spring steel return to their original shape when any deflection or twisting forces are removed. In the illustrated embodiment, the spring 120 is a helical or coil spring designed for tension. In a typical embodiment, the spring 120 is made from spring steel.


In the illustrated embodiment, the flexible yard sign 100-B includes a mount 140 for attaching or securing the sign panel 130-B to the spring 120. The mount 140 includes two flat portions extending from a rounded or cylindrical portion. The flat portions are separated by a space into which a portion of the sign panel 130-B is inserted. The two flat portions extend upward from the rounded or cylindrical portion that is screwed or twisted into one end of the spring 120 so that the sign panel 130-B is secured to the end of the spring 120. The mount 140 also includes an adjustment opening 142 on one of the flat portions. The adjustment opening 142 provides for insertion of a screw, fastener, adjustment screw, set screw, or any other type adjustment mechanism that is known in the art for tightening or securing a material against another material. Once the sign panel 130-B is placed between the flat portions of the mount 140, then an adjustment mechanism is utilized within the adjustment opening 142 to tighten the sign panel 130-B in place.


The sign panel 130-B is a flat, rectangular shaped, material suitable for including a message on either or both sides (opposing faces) of the material. In typical embodiment, the sign panel 130-B has weatherproof or water-resistant characteristics so that the flexible yard sign 130-B is durable in varying weather conditions. In the illustrated embodiment, the visible face of the sign panel 130-B includes an image of a circle with a single line extending at an angle across the circle all superimposed over an image of a dog stooping to relieve itself. In the illustrated embodiment, the message “PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL” is positioned above and below the image on the face of the sign panel 130-B. The image shown in the illustrated embodiment, is a singular example of the type messages that are envisioned for a face of the sign panel 130-B. Of course, the same image, a similar image, or even a completely different message may be included on the opposing face of the sign panel 130-B.
