  • Patent number: 6565058
    Abstract: Promotional devices configured to removably support articles (e.g., papers, photographs, etc.) for viewing are provided. A device includes a housing and a pair of arms pivotally disposed within the housing in adjacent spaced-apart relationship. The housing includes a base portion that is configured to be supported on a surface and an upper portion that is movably secured to the base portion. The housing upper portion is movable between a distal position and a proximal position relative to the housing base portion. Movement of the housing upper portion from the distal position to the proximal position causes the upper end portions of the arms to separate so that an article can be placed therebetween. The arms are urged together so as to retain the article placed therebetween and the housing upper portion is moved to the distal position.
