    (54) Mounting device


    (57) A saddle (2) is sandwiched between a signpost (10) and a base plate (23) of a yoke (12) whose arms (18) engage a coupling piece (30, 2; 52, 54) so as to embrace the post (10). The yoke (12) and coupling piece (30, 2; 52, 54) can be tightened about the post thus urging the saddle towards the base plate, so that an edge portion of a sign plate can be gripped between them, and rest on the arms (18). The arms (18) may grip the post (10) resiliently, or be quite short and have slots (50) for engaging a band (52) that extends around the post.
