Claim 1

A holder for holding bolts of cloth or the like in a generally upright display position on a generally horizontal support means, said holder being formed of a single length of relatively stiff, resilient wire bent on itself to have two legs at an acute angle to one another substantially in the same plane, the legs constituting the sides of the angle, and having a bent portion interconnecting the two legs constituting the vertex of said angle, each leg having means formed at its free end, which constitutes its lower end, slidably engageable with one of two oppositely facing edge portions of said support means for holding said bolt holder upright on said support means, for preventing tipping of said bolt holder laterally with respect to the plane of said legs, and for permitting angling of said bolt holder relative to said support means, said means comprising a first portion of the wire extending out from the plane of the legs engageable with an upper surface of said support means, a second portion of the wire bent to extend from the outer end of said first portion to the edge of said support means, a third portion of the wire bent to extend down from the outer end of said second portion and engageable with one of said oppositely facing edges of said support means, and a lower portion of the wire extending back from the lower end of said third portion to extend back under and to be engageable with the lower surface of said support means, whereby the bolt holder may be positioned with its plane generally at right angles to said edge portions of the support means or diagonally with respect thereto.
