A flex holder for retaining a flexible sign face material to a sign casing. The flex holder comprises a body having a longitudinal axis and a hinge extending along the longitudinal axis. An elongated tongue is connected to the hinge and a groove is formed in the body along a projection of the tongue about the hinge. The tongue has a pair of notches therein such that when the tongue is bent over a flexible sign face material and engaged in the groove, the flexible face material is held transversely to the body by an engagement of the tongue and groove and is held longitudinally to the body by a friction of the flexible sign face material between the notches and the groove.
Support articulé destiné à retenir un matériau de face d'enseigne flexible sur un caisson d'enseigne. Le support articulé comprend un corps ayant un axe longitudinal et une charnière s'étendant le long de l'axe longitudinal. Une languette allongée est raccordée à la charnière et une rainure est formée dans le corps le long d'une saillie de la languette autour de la charnière. À l'intérieur de la languette se trouve une paire d'encoches de sorte que lorsque la languette est fléchie sur un matériau de face d'enseigne flexible et vient en prise dans la rainure, le matériau de face flexible est maintenu transversalement sur le corps par une mise en prise de la languette et de la rainure et est maintenu longitudinalement sur le corps par un frottement du matériau de face d'enseigne flexible entre les encoches et la rainure.
