Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
An indicia display device comprising a planar element; at least one exposed surface portion of said planar element being flat and formed of a plastics material having elongated, substantially unidirectional polymeric chains of substantially maximum flexibility, said plastics material having maximal adhesive properties with respect to a vitreous like surface to which it is pressed so as to be attached over substantially all of said exposed surface portion, said attachment being easily releaseable by exertion of a lifting pressure thereon; an opposite surface portion of said planar element; and retaining means for indicia to be displayed in a direction facing in the same direction as said exposed surfaces associated with said opposite surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
113 words
An indicia display device comprising a planar element; at least one exposed surface portion of said planar element being flat and formed of a plastics material having elongated, substantially unidirectional polymeric chains of substantially maximum flexibility, said plastics material having maximal adhesive properties with respect to a vitreous like surface to which it is pressed so as to be attached over substantially all of said exposed surface portion, said attachment being easily releaseable by exertion of a lifting pressure thereon; an opposite surface portion of said planar element; and retaining means for indicia to be displayed in a direction facing in the same direction as said exposed surfaces associated with said opposite surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A display device according to claim 1 wherein said planar element is substantially transparent and wherein said retaining means is integral with said opposite surface portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
A display device according to claim 2 wherein said planar element is substantially transparent and said indicia are applied directly to said opposite surface portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
A display device according to claim 1 wherein said retaining means with said indicia applied thereto are secured to said opposite surface portion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
41 words
A display device according to claim 1 wherein said retaining means is integral with said opposite surface and constitutes an extension of said element and is slotted to form a resiliently displaceable tongue adapted to retain an inserted indicia carrying medium.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
47 words
A display device according to claim 1 wherein said retaining means is constituted by a panel attached to said opposite surface portion and provided with an extension projecting beyond said element and slotted to form a resiliently displaceable tongue adapted to retain an inserted indicia carrying medium.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
27 words
A display device according to claim 1 wherein said information carrying medium is mechanically and releasably secured to said opposite surface portion by said information retaining means.
