ABSTRACT:
A device is provided with a substantially rigid sheet having a pair of parallel opposite edges; and a holder for holding the sheet at a position in stable equilibrium at a predetermined location; the sheet and the holder being so constructed and arranged that the sheet can be moved easily to and away from the location by a person without a need for equipment. One typical holder includes a framework including an upper rigid elongate substantially channel shaped member held in an upper lengthwise horizontal position with its channel opening substantially downward; and a lower rigid elongate substantially channel shaped member held in a lower lengthwise horizontal position with its channel parallel to, and opening substantially upward toward, the channel opening in the upper member; the depth of the channel opening in the upper member being enough greater than the depth of the channel opening in the lower member, and the spacing between the two channel openings being such that the upper edge of the sheet can be inserted a substantial distance upward into the upper member and while so inserted the lower edge can be placed adjacently above the lower channel opening and dropped therein leaving the upper edge of the sheet still sufficiently inside the upper channel as to confine the sheet within the two channels until it is intentionally moved away by a person pushing the sheet upward into the upper channel sufficiently for the lower edge to be pulled out of, and away from, the lower channel, and then pulling the sheet downward sufficiently for the upper edge to be pulled out of, and away from, the upper channel. Another typical holder includes a framework for holding the sheet thereon at the predetermined location; and hinge for enabling the framework and the sheet to be moved selectively away from, and back to, the location by pivoting them through a predetermined angle around an axis in the proximity of an edge of the framework.
