  • Patent number: 6523858
    Abstract: An item, such as a folder, binder or book is converted into a presentation or display device by affixing thereto a display stand, which when not being used as display stand nests about the outside of the covers of the item whose contents are to be displayed. Also included are holders for the corners of the pages to be displayed. When the covers of the item are fully opened at 180° so that the contents thereof can be displayed page at a time, the stand folds into a supporting structure of generally triangular cross-section with an upper edge thereof engaged with tabs extending outwardly from the covers of the item. At the same time, the corners of the displayed pages can be placed in the holders to assure that the pages are displayed flat and do not sag under the influence of gravity.
