Kit for modifying a corrugated sign assembly
First Claim
1. A corrugated sign modification kit, the kit comprising:
- a post-like member configured to be inserted into a corrugated sign; and
a handheld cutting device for cutting a portion of the corrugated sign, the handheld cutting device comprising;
an elongated handle with a proximal end and a distal end defining a longitudinal axis and a handle length;
a blade member coupled to the elongated handle and spaced from the distal end so that the elongated handle defines a center guide portion extending from the blade member to the distal end, the blade member having a cutting edge located between the proximal and distal ends and facing in a direction in line with the longitudinal axis of the elongated handle and towards the distal end; and
a first blade guide member coupled to the blade member, the first blade guide member defining a first guide member longitudinal axis that is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the elongated handle.

Abstract
A corrugated sign modification kit that includes a handheld cutting device with a handle with a first end, a second end, and a handle length separating the first and second ends, a first blade member, and a blade guide member. The first blade member is coupled to the handle and has a cutting edge that faces in a longitudinal direction of the handle, extends outwardly away from the handle, and has a width of less than approximately 1 inch separating its proximal and distal ends. The blade guide member is coupled to the distal end of the first blade member, is orientated in a substantially parallel direction to the longitudinal direction of the handle, and has a distal end protruding to a point in front of the cutting edge so as to define a channel to guide inserted objects within the channel to the cutting edge.
