Universal offset traffic sign bracket

Abstract

A universal offset traffic sign bracket includes a first clamp cantilevered from a base support, the first clamp including a clamp beam, a fixed member connected to an end of the first clamp beam, and a moving member movably connected to the first clamp beam; a second clamp connected to the first clamp moving member and compressible against the first clamp fixed member, the second clamp including a spike plate for gripping a traffic sign post between the spike plate and the first clamp fixed member.

1 . A universal offset traffic sign bracket, comprising:
 a first clamp cantilevered from a base support, said first clamp including a clamp beam, fixed member connected to an end of said first clamp beam, and a moving member movably connected to said first clamp beam;   a second clamp connected to said first clamp moving member and compressible against said first clamp fixed member, said second clamp including a spike plate for gripping a traffic sign post between said spike plate and said first clamp fixed member.   
   
   
       2 . A universal offset traffic sign bracket comprising:
 a sliding clamp, said sliding clamp including:
 a clamp beam including first end and second ends; 
 a fixed compression element fixedly attached to said clamp beam proximal to said first end and projecting approximately normal to said clamp beam; 
 a sliding compression element including a base and a projecting end, said sliding compression element mounted slidingly to said clamp beam at said base and between said fixed compression element and said second end of said clamp beam, and projecting normal to said clamp beam in the same orientation as said fixed compression element, 
   wherein said sliding compression includes locking means for locking said sliding compression element at a selected point along said clamp beam; and,
 mounting means proximal to said clamp beam second end for attaching said clamp beam to a support; 
   wherein said sliding compression element further includes a threaded compression member threaded through said projecting end; and,   a gripping member comprising a spike plate with a stiffening member.
