ABSTRACT:
A display device, according to the present invention, taking the form of a scroll with handle (201) and spool-rod shaft (202) for rolling and unrolling printed flexible material (400) and a tubular housing (300) with an internal chamber—a floating cowling—freely rotatable over said wound spool-rod from which the printed material is extendable. The scroll text (400) or image to be viewed is manually extendable by pulling it through a continuous longitudinal slot (301) in the cowling with a pull-tab (501) which also prevents the printed material from being irretrievably drawn into the cowling. The cowling is rotatably received at its open ends over the spool-rod by a pair of opposed retaining/aligning yokes. The invention improves on traditional scrolls by providing protective containment for the printed material without requiring the containment's separation to display it. The cowling and handle are adaptable as works of art related to the printed material.
