ABSTRACT:
A pair of elongate holding devices (7a, 7c) extending along opposite sides of an imaginary rectangle have respective longitudinal recesses (12, 21) which hold respective edge portions (6a, 6c) of a poster (6). One holding device (7c) has a fixed bearing member (16) and a movable member (18) which contains the recess (21) and which is pivotable about a pivot axis (19) from an active position, in which the recess (21) is open in a direction away from the opposite holding device so that the poster (6) tums back on itself near the edge portion (6c), the poster being under tension between the pair of holding devices, to a passive position, in which tension in the poster is released sufficiently to allow the edge portion (6c) to be removed from the recess (21). The holding device (7a) is preferably an upper holding device with an undercut slot (12) slidably receiving a bead (14) at the upper edge portion (6a) of the poster. The movable member (18) has wings cooperating with cylindrical bearing surfaces on the fixed bearing member (16) to ensure that no excessive local stress is applied to the holding device (7c).
