  • Publication number: 20190012938
    Abstract: A display card holder including a sleeve for a printed card and a sleeve holder defining a cavity open at one end to receive a sleeve end section having a pair of cutouts. The cavity defines a sleeve-receiving channel having a width providing clearance to the sleeve thickness. A button member movably supported by a sleeve holder body defines an actuator portion exposed to an outside of the sleeve holder. The button member includes wings extending from opposite sides of the actuator button. A spring biases the button member in a first direction with respect to the body of the sleeve holder. Each wing is formed to include: a pin adapted to extend through a corresponding one of the cutouts, and an elongate first edge forming a pivot about which the button member is pivotable with respect to the sleeve holder body.
