Abstract: Display frames and methods. The display frame includes an outer frame having a substantially hollow interior. The outer frame includes a front face having an opening, a back panel spaced from the front face, and side members hingedly connecting the front face and to the back panel. An embodiment includes at least one elastic member disposed inside the hollow interior and flexibly connected to the outer frame. An embodiment includes an inner frame having a second opening, where the inner frame is disposed between and spaced from the front face and the back panel. The method includes providing a collapsible, self-expanding display frame. An embodiment includes selecting a design for the outer frame and printing the design onto the outer frame. An embodiment includes selecting a design, providing a frame cover, printing the design onto the frame cover, and after the printing, applying the frame cover to the display frame.

Abstract: A display device comprises a flexible body portion including an upper portion, a lower portion and a base portion. The upper and lower portions adjoin one another by a periphery adapted to permit pivoting of the upper and lower portions so as to be generally folded against one another when in a collapsed condition, and to permit pivoting of the upper and lowers portion away from one another when in an assembled condition. The lower and base portions adjoin one another by a periphery adapted to permit pivoting of the lower portion and the base portion so as to be generally folded against one another when in a collapsed condition, and to permit pivoting of the lower portion and the base portion away from one another when in an assembled condition such that the base portion supports the upper portion and the lower portion in a generally upright orientation.

Abstract: A foldable and self-erecting display stand has an easel mounted at the rear surface of a large planar board. The planar board and the easel are together foldable along a plurality of horizontal fold lines to a compact collapsed state. The easel has a U-shaped horizontal cross section and two mutually parallel triangular side walls. A plurality of pivotable cross braces extend in a canti-lever manner from a body board of the easel. A plurality of elastic cords are mounted between the cross braces and the side walls of the easel. The side walls of the easel are foldable to a collapsed position juxtaposed to the planar board against the elastic force of the elastic cords for folding the display stand to the collapsed state. The elastic cords are in a stretched condition when the display stand in the collapsed state, and the cross braces cooperate with the stretched elastic cords to self-erecting the display stand from the collapsed state to the erected state.

Abstract: An easel is attachable to the rear surface of an image board to form a composite device. The easel maintains the latter in an upstanding position when erected. It is made of a single board material having a designed pattern stamped therein and having all the components which may be unfolded to form the easel. The erected easel has two mutually parallel vertical side panels and a plurality of horizontal transverse brace members which may be manually unfolded to support the easel in the erected position or tie members may be provided to retained the side panels and the transverse brace members in the unfolded position. The easel and the image board may be folded along a plurality of transverse lines to a compact package for ease in shipping and storage. The image board and the easel are self-erecting when elastic tie members are provided.
