A signal device for use in connection with supermarket check-out counters to indicate check-out conditions at a particular location. The device includes a support pole and a housing mounted on the support pole. The housing is adapted to removably receive and hold a plurality of signal panels in position to be readily visually observed. The panels are interchangeable and have predetermined indicia thereon to enable the selection of a particular pattern to be observed while in the housing as a visual signal.
An illuminated display. The illuminated display comprises a cylindrical hollow housing capable of passing illumination therethrough that has an upper end and a lower end, wherein the upper end is open and the lower end is closed, and a cylindrical wall which forms the open upper end and is also connected to the closed lower end. The housing wall has an outer surface and an inner surface. Additionally, the housing wall has at least one opening disposed between the upper end and the lower end. At least one light source is located inside the housing and is operatively connected to the opening. There is also a cap that has a top and a bottom. The cap bottom is adapted to fit inside the housing upper end. A substantially cylindrical sleeve capable of passing illumination therethrough is adapted to closely fit about the outer surface of the wall. The cap top outer surface diameter and the housing wall outer surface diameter are substantially identical to facilitate replacement of the sleeve about the housing wall outer surface and to provide for a message or design that is not distorted.
