Claim 3
Dependent Claim
80 words
Signboard rack as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that said supporting means consists of the slit inner wall of the bar (1) and that the first and second parts of the connection member are provided with recesses (12, 13, 24, 25) on at least the sides facing the slits (3) of the bars (1) in order to provide, for the accomodation of a signboard or the like, said continuous transition in said slits at a junction between two bars.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
52 words
Signboard rack as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that said supporting means consist of opposite flanges (22, 23) arranged longitudinally on the insides of the bar in order to provide, for the accomodation of a signboard or the like, said continuous transition in said slits at a junction between two bars.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
