FOLDABLE DISPLAY DEVICE AND EASEL

摘要

An easel (10) is attachable to the rear surface of an image board (12) to form a composite device. The easel maintains the latter in an upstanding position when erected. It is made of a single board material having a designed pattern stamped therein and having all the components which may be unfolded to form the easel. The erected easel has two mutually parallel vertical side panels (19,20) and a plurality of horizontal transverse brace members (35, 37, 40, 41) which may be manually unfolded to support the easel in the erected position or tie members may be provided to retained the side panels and the transverse brace members in the unfolded position. The easel and the image board may be folded along a plurality of transverse lines (28, 29, 30) to a compact package for ease in shipping and storage. The image board and the easel are self-erecting when elastic tie members (68, 69, 70,71, 72, 73, 74, 75) are provided.
