  • Patent number: 5161702
    Abstract: A display device having a front cartridge section against which objects can be stacked, one against the other, in a first line; first and second strips each wound about itself to define first and second coils with first and second axes; structure for connecting the strips to the front cartridge section so that the axes of the coils are transverse to the first line; and a rear cartridge section having first and second legs which are extendable at least partially through the first and second coils. By moving the rear cartridge section away from the front cartridge section in the first line with the first and second legs extended into the first and second coils, the legs cause the first and second coils to unwind, whereby a force is developed on the first and second strips tending to draw the front and rear cartridge sections towards each other so that an article to be displayed can be resiliently captured in a display position between the front and rear cartridge sections.
