Posting device and method

Claim 1

A posting device comprising in combination: (a) a plurality of transparent elements, each transparent element consisting of a semi-rigid sheet of plastic material having elastic properties, said sheet being folded over itself so as to form two essentially plane walls wherein each wall has an edge parellel to the folding line and is connected with the other by a base part constituted by the folding zone, said walls being tilted toward each other so that at rest the edges of the walls are close to one another and support one another elastically, and wherein said walls are such that the edge of the outer wall protrudes beyond the edge of the inner wall and wherein each element is affixed to the panel by the outer surface of the non-protruding inner wall, and (b) a supporting panel to which said transparent elements are affixed by the outer surface of the non-protruding wall thereof, said transparent elements being disposed parallel to one another on said panel and wherein immediately adjacent transparent elements are so positioned that the upper edge of the outer wall of one element not affixed to the mounting panel is disposed very near the base part of the immediately above adjacent transparent element or is in actual contact therewith, said upper edge being located within the space comprised between the mounting panel and that portion of said base part of said immediately above adjacent element which faces said mounting panel so as to provide water-tightness when said posting device is subjected to bad weather or is washed with water.
