An office building has a glass paneled exterior with transparent window panels extending from floor to ceiling of each story and a horizontal row of panels of translucent glass positioned adjacent the floor or the ceiling of a single story building or between the top portion of one story and the bottom portion of the next story in a multi-story building. An illuminated sign is provided comprising a plurality of electrically illuminated sign modules aligned linearly behind some of the translucent glass panels, which comprise a plurality of individual lights, selectively illuminable in the form of any one of a plurality of selected alphanumeric characters or symbols. The individual lights, when energized, provide light of an intensity sufficient to be seen outside the translucent glass panels but are invisible from the outside when deenergized. Control switches, etc., are provided for selectively energizing the lights on selected ones of the sign modules. The lights may be bulbs or tubes providing light in straight segments, arranged in a square pattern with intermediate subdividing and diagonally extending segments, or may be bulbs providing light in individual points, arranged in a plurality of rows of linearly spaced lights in a square or rectangular pattern which, when illuminated in selected combinations, can produce any character or symbol. Separate switches may be provided for energizing the lights in a selected pattern, and to select the module on which said selected pattern is to appear in a selected or moving sequence. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION One of the objects of this invention is to provide a new and improved office building structure with illuminated signs showing on the exterior of the building only when illuminated.
Another object of this invention is to provide a new and improved office building structure with illuminated signs, positioned inside the building and showing on the exterior of the building only when illuminated.
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved office building of the type having a glass paneled exterior, including some translucent panels with illuminated sign modules positioned to be seen only when illuminated.
Other objects of the invention will become apparent from time to time throughout this specification and claims as hereinafter related.
These and other objects of the invention are accomplished by an office building which has a glass paneled exterior with transparent window panels extending from floor to ceiling of each story and a horizontal row of panels of translucent glass positioned adjacent the floor or the ceiling of a single story building or between the top portion of one story and the bottom portion of the next story in a multi-story building.
An illuminated sign is provided comprising a plurality of electrically illuminated sign modules aligned linearly behind some of the translucent glass panels, which comprise a plurality of individual lights, selectively illuminable in the form of any one of a plurality of selected alphanumeric characters.
The individual lights, when energized, provide light of an intensity sufficient to be seen outside the translucent glass panels but are substantially invisible from the outside when deenergized.
Control switches, etc.
, are provided for selectively energizing the lights on selected ones of the sign modules.
The lights may be bulbs or tubes providing light in straight segments, arranged in a square pattern with intermediate subdividing and diagonally extending segments, or may be bulbs providing light in individual points, arranged in a plurality of rows of linearly spaced lights in a square or rectangular pattern which, when illuminated in selected combinations, can produce any desired symbol or character
