ABSTRACT:
The easel comprises a flat, generally diamond-shaped member formed of resilient, non-scratching material of limited flexibility. The member is scored to provide a line of weakness extending thereacross between its opposed oblique angle points. When bent along the line of weakness, the member adopts a two-sided pyramidal form. In this form, the member has rearwardly inclined, load-supporting front edges and bottom edges. The front edges form forwardly spaced and upwardly projecting hooks and slots close to their lower ends. The hooks function to suspend, retain and frictionally engage the lower edge of a generally flat item received in the slots to be displayed, such as a card, plate or the like. The sides of the easel member can be moved closer together or apart to vary the angle of inclination of the load-supporting edges, thereby varying the angularity of the displayed item. Frictional engagement between the hooks and the display item functions to prevent the side walls of the easel member from sliding apart when loaded.
