Abstract
A display holder includes an extruded member having a top surface from which extends a T-shaped grip portion for engagement by a gripper at the end of a pole. Spaced from the grip portion is a brace on the end of which is a web connected to a C-channel. The C-channel receives a display or sign such as a dowel in a sleeve of the display which allows the user to maximize sign size, head space or lines of sight. The C-channel also can be used to receive a block end hook, a cord suspender, or a clip. A ring may be provided through a hole in the web. The display holder is mounted or un-mounted safely from floor level in one single motion to a ceiling by magnets on the top surface or to a wall by magnets on the brace.
