  • Publication number: 20040040191
    Abstract: A display apparatus for securing a display item for display is provided. The display apparatus comprises a monolithic frame made of a flexible light weight material having a body formed around the periphery of a central opening within which one or more display items can be mounted; and one or more fastening mechanisms extended from the inner perimeters of the frame body inward toward center of the central opening for slidably receiving the one or more display items. Each of the fastening mechanisms comprises first and second flexible loop tongues each having inner and outer surfaces, the inner surfaces of the first and second loop tongues facing each other and approximately coplanar to provide a receiving space therebetween, such that one or more edges of at least one display item can be frictionally secured in between said receiving space by wedging open the coplanar inner surfaces of the flexible loop tongues apart for a relatively tight fit therebetween.
