ABSTRACT:
An improved support member for a frame carrying an article to be displayed is disclosed. The member is convertible between a hanging mode and a standing mode, with a hanger acting as the support element in the hanging mode and with a one-piece easel-type stand resting against a flat surface acting as the support element in the standing mode. The stand is held for pivoting action within tubular brackets on the hanger, and can maintain that position even when the hanging mode is being used. The upper edges of the planar stand pivot toward the hanger element as the lower stand portion pivots away, and contact between the upper stand edges and the hanger establishes a self-contained stopping position for the standing mode. The hanger element also includes a series of stepped cutouts to accommodate various surface attachment members.
