ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to mechanical supports for advertisement materials, and more particularly to such a holder capable of being engaged with an airline-type fold-down tray so as to place an advertisement sheet in plain view of a seated passenger.
2. Description of Related Art
The following art defines the present state of this field:
Corsi, U.S. D356,471 provides the ornamental design for the compartmented food tray for a ball stadium.
Lovinger, U.S. Pat. No. 1,566,412 describes a tray comprising a transparent plate, a coat of dark paint covering part of the rear face of the plate leaving transparent the appearance of certain designs at certain predetermined spots, a tin-foil background placed on the paint, a felt cushion carrying the plate, a reinforcing cushion formed in the center of the felt cushion, a wooden bottom, and a frame for the whole to which the bottom is attached, and a pair of handles.
Dano, U.S. Pat. No. 2,131,586 describes an advertising holder construction comprising a frame member providing a display opening in substantially upright position, a card panel ember having a plurality of card guide slots open at their upper ends for the mounting of advertising cards, the bottom of the card panel member being mounted in pivotal relation to the bottom margin of the display opening whereby the panel member may be swung from upright or card display position into outwardly inclined position for card inserting and changing purposes, the upper side of the frame member projecting over the upper open ends of said card guide slots to prevent removal of the cards when in display position and means for securing the card panel member in upright or display position within said display opening.
Klein et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,524,867 describes a case for accommodating written material for presentation including a clear box formed of transparent plastic having walls and an interior, and receptacles for written material being disposed in the interior of the box allowing the written material to be read through the walls of the box, the receptacles being adapted to the format of the written material for preventing sliding of the written material.
Morris, U.S. Pat. No. 4,505,059 describes an advertising display apparatus comprising a base, means on the base for holding condiments, a plurality of support members on the base, each facing in a different respective direction, means form mounting at least one advertisement on each support member, means mounting the support members for movement relative to the base to change the direction in which a given advertisement faces. A hollow, transparent tube having a plurality of walls constitutes transparent cover means for enclosing and protectively covering the support members. Each support member and its respective advertisement faces a respective wall on the tube. A resilient, strip-like member is located within the tube and is resiliently deformable between and expanded, open first condition and a second condition in which it is at least partially closed for urging the advertisement toward its respective wall on the tube. The apparatus is preferably displayed on restaurant tables so that customers can view the advertisements during their meal. The tube is of a size which preferably accommodates twelve business cards; three cards per support member.
Stoddart, U.S. Pat. No. 4,531,312 describes a baggage tag retainer adaptable to be permanently bonded to the exterior of a luggage container. The retainer is shaped so as to detachably retain a conventional airline destination baggage claim tag and is marked with a permanent identification number that is concealed from view when the airline baggage tag is mounted in the retainer. By means of this invention, baggage destination tags will be more securely fixed to luggage so as to prevent loss of the tag during the normal handling of the luggage on conveyor systems and the luggage will be permanently identified with the owner, while all such owner identification is concealed from view of unauthorized persons during transport of the luggage.
Winston, U.S. Pat. No. 4,545,140 describes a graphic staging device for displaying substantially two-dimensional graphics such as a sign or the like of generally planar configuration, preferably in at least a slightly arcuate presentation and for protecting the same from ambient exposure, is comprised of first and second staging member which are nearly identical, having longitudinal asymmetry such that the two may be nested in mechanically interlocked, transversely mirror-imaged face-to-face engagement. There are very slight dimensional variations between the two staging members; in one instance the overall dimensions are identical but thickness differs, in another instance the dimensional variations are on the same order as the thickness of the members or less.
Greiner, U.S. Pat. No. 4,593,876 describes a picture stand for several pictures, which consists essentially of two prisms of equal length and size and whose section is a right-angled isosceles triangle. The prisms are located in a mount such that the two rectangular prism faces on a cathetus are mutually aligned and the two other rectangular prism faces on a cathetus are a small distance apart and pictures allocated to these prism faces are placed between them. Each of the plane rectangular prism faces on the hypotenuses also has a picture placed flat against it. The pictures are with their picture sides facing the prism faces. This picture stand represents a new interesting possibility for holding four pictures of which only two are visible at a time depending on the direction of view. Compared with conventional picture stands for several pictures the space required is significantly reduced and apart from standing firmly, and interesting optical effect is achieved.
Tanne et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,738,038 describes a lightweight compact, portable, advertising display apparatus provides and attractive, rotatable, miniature billboard assembly for displaying advertising material to viewing areas about the advertising display apparatus. The advertising display apparatus includes a plastic shaft with a convenient handle and a special coupling head which fits into corresponding keyholes in the container assembly to provide for easy assembly and disassembly of the unit when inserting and removing different advertising material.
Boeding, U.S. Pat. No. 4,957,256 describes a price tag display holder and support arm device for use with a peg-bar display of peggable packages which are arranged in both vertical and horizontal rows without appreciable spacing between the vertical and horizontal edges of packages in adjacent rows. The device has a strap-like support arm which is upright or on edge in use. The support arm has a proximal end which is connected in cantilever fashion to one of the vertically spaced horizontal peg supports located at the rear of the packages and a distal end on which a price tag display holder is mounted. The support arm is of adjustable length to permit an adjusted length that places the price tag display holder for viewing by a customer looking in the direction of the aisle. The strap-like support arms of the devices are sufficiently thin so as to permit the arms to be squeezed in between packages in adjacent vertical rows. The devices of the invention permit dispensing with the peg pricing bars that separate horizontal rows of packages in conventional peg-bar package display systems and thereby allow more packages to be displayed within the confines of the same overall available area.
White, U.S. Pat. No. 4,979,325 describes a display frame for displaying photographs and other sheet-like articles comprising and outer shell, a liner and a threaded cap. The outer shell is transparent, generally cup-shaped and has a tapered inner wall. The liner has a tapered outer surface upon which are positioned a series of ribs, with the taper of the outer surface of the liner closely matched to that of the inner wall of the outer shell.
