ABSTRACT:
A card and picture holder is formed from two identical, generally planar half portions, which are assembled together to capture a card, picture or other planar display object therebetween. Each half portion includes a transparent center window therein, so an article(s) sandwiched within the two portions may be viewed from either side. Each half portion includes a plurality of slotted channels formed in the periphery, which channels form hinge passages in the completed assembly and serve to capture the pins of interconnectors or a hanger(s) therein. The interconnectors are identical and symmetrical, and include an intermediate member which provides sufficient distance between the two opposite pins to allow for the thickness of the holders comprising an assembly of interconnected holders. Thus, the holders may be folded over one another for compact storage. The hangers have one side with a hinge pin, and an opposite side with a hanger loop or the like thereon, to allow one or more of the present holders to be suspended. Plural holders may be interconnected together to form a variety of patterns on a wall, or may be used as a room or space divider, with objects displayed therein being visible from both sides of the symmetrical assembly. The holders are preferably formed of plastic, but alternative materials (various metals, wood, etc.) may be used as desired.
