Abstract: A display easel is provided having a base or first panel which includes a horizontal supporting tab and a vertical restraining tab spaced in vertical relation to the supporting tab. The horizontal supporting tab has a first hinge that enables movement of the supporting tab relative to the panel body, preferably to about 90 degrees, into a position for supporting the first panel. The vertical restraining tab has a second hinge which enables movement of the vertical restraining tab relative to the panel body, preferably between about 120 degrees and 160 degrees, to permit abutment of the vertical restraining tab to the horizontal supporting tab and to restrain movement of the horizontal supporting tab. By restraining movement of the horizontal supporting tab, the display easel is maintained in an upright position. A method of forming a display easel is also provided which enables the display easel to be rapidly and economically manufactured in large quantities, such as through the use of web press equipment.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a scented picture frame having removable scent boards attached in spaced relation to provide an aromatic ambiance with the display of an item such as a picture. The present invention features a holder on the back of the frame, capable of holding one or more scent boards in parallel adjacent the back of the frame, whereby an aroma is dissipated from a scented oil on the scent board to enhance the experience of viewing the item. Scents are impregnated into the scent board and retained by individually wrapping the scent boards for future use. One or more scents may be used with the present invention by hanging multiple scent boards on the scented picture frame. The scent boards may be removed and replaced when the scent is dissipated or to change the aroma. A picture pouch is used to protect the item in the scented picture frame from absorbing an aroma of the scent board.

Abstract: An improved artist and display easel that is secured from the top by use of a crossbar that interlocks with the easel to firmly hold a standard canvas or display up to twenty-four inches in height. The easel is preferably made of a flexible material so that it can be repeatedly bent down the centerline of weakness. The centerline fold creates tension on both side panels causing outward pressure. The top crossbar holds the easel body securely in place by interlocking notches. The top crossbar also holds the top of a display or canvas securely to the easel body. There are seven different height settings that correspond to standard canvas sizes. In addition, a bottom crossbar can be interlocked to the easel body to raise the base height of a display or canvas. The use of flexible material gives the easel portability, low cost and disposability.
