It is in the learning manual:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Visibility-and-color-of-objects.html

Usual, predefined boolean vectors for this property are listed in

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals-big-page#item_002dinterface

For what you want, use

  \override Staff.TimeSignature #'break-visibility = #end-of-line-invisible
