ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to display devices, and more particularly to the visual display and convenient dispensing of card-like members such as business cards.
PRIOR ART
U.S. Pat. No. 5,645,203 issued Jul. 8, 1997 and entitled “Business Card Dispensing Holder”.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Sales persons engaged in extensive local travel by auto often have a need for business cards that are conveniently accessible to their customers or prospective customers. A holder and dispensing device for that specific purpose is shown in the patent referenced above. There are also many other situations in which a portable device for displaying and dispensing cards, brochures, or other card-like is either necessary or at least quite useful.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention there is provided a portable device for supporting one card-like member in a vertical position for visible display, and for simultaneously storing a reserve supply of additional card-like members in a vertical position from which they may be easily dispensed.
Further according to the present invention the portable device may be securely supported from a vertical support surface such as the external surface of an automobile window, but may at the same time be readily removed from its support for greater convenience in dispensing the card-like members.
It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a device of the foregoing type which is easy to use, rugged and durable in construction, and inexpensive to manufacture.
