Abstract: A frame for a self-service sales display device is provided with pockets on each side of the frame. Guide members are provided on the entry side or wall of the frame and on the side or wall of the frame opposite the entry side for guiding the flat members into and out of the pockets in the frame. A cutout is provided through the entry wall into each pocket for ease in gripping the edge of a poster or flat member for removal from the frame. The frames have shaped pivots which extend into openings formed in surfaces of the display device such that the frame can be pivoted into a picture book position on the device.

Abstract: A display stand for displaying flat articles on edge, such as greeting cards and the like, has a base and a vertical column to which is assembled one or more tiers of upwardly angled housings having card-receiving pockets. Each tier has multiples of two housings located diametrically opposite each other on a mounting web, such that when four, six or eight housings are provided, the housings are equally spaced apart circumferentially by abutments on said webs. Each web has a column-engaging hub of reduced axial length which interfits with an axially displaced hub on an adjacent web to present a continuous axial hub to the column throughout the axial height of said tier. Tabs project upward and downward from each housing to interfit with tabs on housings on a tier above and/or below said housing. Each housing has a divider to make two pockets therein with openings in the lower corner of each pocket to permit dust and the like to fall out.

Abstract: A unitary molded frame structure having a recessed back edge to receive a poster board or picture and a pair of duplicate slotted clamping members which slideably engage at least a pair of hook-like protrusions on the frame back and snap-engage over the edges of the poster board to hold it firmly within the frame. The clamping members provide multiple attaching means for hanging the frame at the desired attitude from a wall surface. Once assembled, the clamping means are recessed within the back of the frame against the back of the poster or a cardboard back-up sheet in a hidden position and the weight of the assembly in at least one hanging attitude biases the cooperating slot-protuberance combination into tighter engagement. The frame and clamping members are molded in a common mold with the clamping members co-planar within the inner opening of the frame and oriented and spaced in such a manner that they are readily broken out and are ready for assembly with the frame to hold a picture.

Abstract: A revolving self-service sales display device is provided which comprises a vertically disposed revolving carrousel or pedestal carried on a base, which base can be set on a counter top, on the floor or on stands of any desired height. The revolving pedestal has a plurality of pivotally mounted, radially projecting frames for displaying flat members, such as posters, in pockets on each side of each frame. Each frame is provided with guide members both top and bottom for guiding the flat members into and out of the pockets in the frame. The frames have shaped pivots which extend into openings formed in sloping surfaces of a hub or bar such that the weight of the frame will always pivot the frame into a position with the body of the frame projecting radially outward from the pedestal. The device may have one, two or more pedestals stacked end-on-end in tandom or it may be a vertical rectangular support with horizontal frame engaging bars.
