  • Patent number: 4366906
    Abstract: A flattenable merchandising holder device including a pair of mounting elements swingably mounted in a display panel. The mounting elements define flatted locking portions engaging cooperating mounting channels on the display panel for selectively retaining the mounting elements in an operative position wherein a support provided on the lower end thereof extends forwardly from the lower end of the display panel. In a retracted position, the support elements are swung into general alignment with the flat plane of the display panel so as to define a flat arrangement of the device. The locking action is effected by longitudinally positioning the mounting element relative to the mounting channel. A connector is provided on the mounting element for mounting of the device to a perforated wall board. The display panel is provided with channel portions for removably mounting a display card element, such as for use with the merchandise intended to be carried on the support portion.
