(54) Image-shifting sign


(57) The present invention relates to an image-shifting sign comprising a number of rotatably mounted display members (1) which are located beside each other and which each has three display-member surfaces (2) and an equilateral triangular cross section, whereby there is provided on each display-member surface (2) an image strip (5) forming part of an image which can shift or change for another image by rotation of the display members (1), whereby there is provided in front of each display-member surface (2) a transparent protective wall (8), whereby said image strip (5) by means of a mounting means (14) is insertable into a space (11) between said protective wall (8) and said display-member surface (2) and whereby the mounting means (14) after insertion of the image strip (5) into said space (11) remains therein for retaining the image strip (5) in said space (11) after insertion thereof. In order to simplify mounting of the image strips (5), the mounting means (14) is adapted to said space (11) such that said mounting means (14) together with an image strip (5) provided thereon can be inserted into said space (11) by hand until the mounting means (14) and the image strip (5) provided thereon have been brought to a predetermined position therein and the mounting means (14) is also flexible in such a way that portions thereof can be bent by hand during insertion into or withdrawal from said space (11).
