ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to roll-up information display devices, and more particularly to an information display that utilizes a self roll-up display media.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Roll-up display signs have been utilized in a number of configurations where the display media is mounted on a roller device that includes a spring to cause the display media to roll around a cylinder or tubular mount. For example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,292,752, a display is mounted on a spring biased roller and is held in an open or rolled down position by a clip attached around a bracket. Because of the spring biased roller, the display media will roll-up when the hold down clip is release from the bracket.
A similar device is described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,351,822, in which a display device is mounted on a cylindrically shaped rod that is mounted by and biased with an elastic band. When the display is pulled downward, unrolling the display, the elastic band is twisted. When the display is released, the twisted elastic band will cause the display to wind up around the cylindrically shaped rod.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention is a pull-down display that can be mounted, for example, in the price strip on a shelf, or on a shopping cart. The display media is a two piece plastic material that is self-coiling so that the display media will roll itself up after being pulled down and then released. One of the two pieces of display media is securely fastened to a mounting bracket at one end and is attached to a tube at the other end. The other piece of display media is loosely or slidably attached to the mounting bracket and is attached to the tube at the other end. A display or advertisement is placed between the two pieces of self-coiling display media and prevented from upward movement when the display media is coiling upward by a stop which extends a small distance over the top of the advertisement material. A pull-down handle is loosely mounted in the tube so that the display media will coil around the tube when released.
