A hand held sign is described which is intended for use in casinos, bingo parlours and gaming halls.

Each of the elongate strips has a first end, a second end opposed faces, and indicia on the opposed faces toward the second end. The elongate strips are pivotally connected at the first end such that any of the elongate strips is pivotable to an exposed operative position remote from the bundle thereby revealing, the indicia on the opposed faces with the bundle serving as a handle for manipulating the exposed elongate strip.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 29, 1994. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended September 29, 2014.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 29, 2016.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
