Abstract:

A delivery signaling device having a resilient member capable of bending in a plane tranverse to the mailbox from a signal position in which the member is upright, to a set position, in which the member is bent into a curved shape conforming to the curved top of the mailbox. A clip member is used to attach the resilient member to the side wall of the mailbox. The clip member is formed of resilient material and has inner and outer portions that grip the side wall of the mailbox. A display region visible from a distance is provided at the free end of the resilient member. The resilient member is locked in the set position by a tab member that extends beneath the flange of the mailbox door and downwardly over the edge of the mailbox wall. The resilient member is a sheet material.
