ABSTRACT:
A display that can be expanded from a collapsed position for storage and transport to an expanded position for free-standing operation and use. A spinal member is disposed between front and back panels such that in the collapsed position, the spinal member maintains the two panels substantially adjacent one another in a generally two-dimensional shape. Upon movement of at least a portion of the spinal member relative to the panels, parts of the spinal member bias the panels apart from one another to form an expanded, three-dimensional shape. This shape provides a sufficient footprint of the display relative to its height that the display can be free-standing. The cooperative relationship between the spinal member and the panels is such that no rubber bands or related elastic devices are required to maintain the display in the expanded position.
