Claim 1
Independent Claim
292 words
A display card holder assembly comprising in combination a display card constructed of a flexible plastic material, said card having a flat front surface adapted to receive thereon an article to be displayed, first flange means extending rearwardly from said card having substantially smooth and uninterrupted opposed surfaces, said first flange means being located adjacent to but spaced from the top edge of said card and extending transversely of the card, said first flange means including a first portion that is joined to said card in substantially perpendicular relation and a second portion that is joined to said first portion and that extends upwardly and rearwardly in a generally curvilinear manner, second flange means extending rearwardly of said card in generally perpendicular relation thereto for at least a portion thereof and spaced below said first flange means, the combination further comprising an elongated horizontal bar that releasably and slidably receives said card for display thereon, said bar having a substantially flat front surface, a longitudinal slot in said bar extending inwardly from said front surface, said slot being shaped and dimensioned for conforming to said first flange means so as to freely and releasably receive said first flange means therein, and the distance between said slot and the bottom of said bar being substantially equal to the spacing between said first and second flange means, whereby when said first flange means is positioned in said slot, said second flange means grippingly engages the bottom of said bar to releasably and slidably maintain said card assembled to said bar, with the rear surface of said card in abutting relation to the front surface of said bar, and with the portion of said card located below said second flange means depending below said bar.
