Sign mounting for attachment to cone
Posted by Richard Urquhart on February 11, 2010 at 3:57 pmHi all been asked to quote for a job for a few signs and the customer wants to put these on cones. I have seen before an angle bracket with a hole in it and this is riveted to the sign blank and then the hole sits over the top of the cone, can any one point me to these brackets please thanks Rich

Getting know where fast on this and really need your help, trying to find the correct mounting system for cone type signs I need to make some and cant source the sleeve or the straps these type of signs use, please please help me xxx
-
Try ASD Metal Services. They do a range of clamps for different sizes of posts so maybe a 150mm clamp for the lower part of the cone and a 76mm clamp for the upper part????
Worth asking them 😕 -
or maybe Blackburns 01234 684 100, may be a wild goose chase but have always found them helpful.

quote John Harding:
Rich, at the prices shown above, I would just buy them in. hardly worth the effort to buy the brackets, and make the signs!

There to a spec that I need to make not standard type signs, so would like to make the sign and the attach a bracket to the rear, there must be a supplier of the mount used, just need to find them. A prize for the first person to find a supplier of just the bracket !!!!!!!!!!
Peter I may be able to buy them in from them at the size I need and apply a digital print to the face of theres???
ps thanks to Lynn today for simple signlab help Rich
-
Harry thats where I got the picture from, just need to see if they just supply the mounting. Will let you know on prize.
-
might as well just use heavy duty zip ties!!
what stops the sign slipping around in the wind?
-
Rich
why not use a 4” & 2” pipe wall clips from local plumbers merchantsKev

To me it looks like a couple of rubber straps that are riveted on and stretched across the cone 😕
-
Thanks for all your help on this I have been so busy and not had time to follow up. Tim I think your onto something there and sounds the best way , doing this there is nothing that can snap off as the rubber will give.
OK next question where could I now get rubber bands that are thick and wide like this??????????????? -
The big rubber band shop :lol1:
What about inner tubes 😕
-
Inner tube good idea but would need to be thicker like 3mm thick and 8mm wide and fit around 100mm and 250mm. I just want to be able to buy them in, Calling all rubber band suppliers 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮
-
Didn’t Titanic have some stock…i’m sure they had a band on ship ….i’ll get me coat 😳
-
like the bands that people put on there wrists but bigger
-
Just had a thought (yes..it hurt) try a rubber stamp manufacturer.
They should be able to cure some natural rubber to the dimensions you asked for. I kmow this because I used to be employed by NatWest and used to make all their rubber stamps. The rubber is cured on a vulcaniser so rails could be used leave space for the finished article. -
Garden centres!!!! they have rubber straps for fixing trees to posts!
EDIT
-
Dave your a great help, just found this
soft strapping a few down the page
rivet this through the sign with support at the rear and to the approx size of the top and middle of the cone, think that could be job done !!! -
What about the Rap Straps that were on Dragons Den?? Anyone remember them??
