Display board construction

A display board construction adapted to be mounted on a generally vertical support surface for use in displaying certain data comprising:

• at least two generally vertically oriented standards, and means for mounting said standards on the support surface in spaced apart parallel positions with a first prescribed distance therebetween, each of said standards including a pair of laterally opposed ribs parallel to each other extending along the length thereof generally vertically and parallel to the support surface;
• a plurality of elongate carrier members, each of said carrier members having a length greater than said first prescribed distance between said standards and further having a front side, a back side, and a longitudinal centerline, each of said carrier members being horizontally oriented so that the centerline of each of said carrier members is generally perpendicular to said standards, each of said carrier members including a pair of opposed, spaced apart carrier flange members parallel to each other extending along the length of the back side of each of said carrier members, each of said carrier members further defining a strip carrier cutout along the length of the front side of each of said carrier members;
• at least two connectors, each of said carrier members having a different connector connecting said carrier member to each of said standards, each of said connectors having a forward end and a rear end, and comprising a pair of opposed, spaced apart connector flange members on the forward end of each of said connectors oriented along a first axis lying in a first plane and a pair of spaced apart, opposed resilient ears on the rear end of each of said connectors oriented along a second axis lying in a second plane where the second axis is perpendicular to the first axis and the second plane is perpendicular to the first plane, one of said connectors connecting each of said carrier members to each of said standards so that each of said carrier members has a plurality of connectors associated therewith with one connector associated with each of said standards, said connector flange members of each of said connectors slidably engaging said carrier flange members of one of said carrier members so that each of said connectors is slidably movable along the length of said carrier member, and said ears of each of said connectors resiliently engaging said opposed ribs on one of said standards to mount said connector on said standard so that each of said connectors can be selectively removed from said standard on which said connector is mounted by forcing said ears from over said ribs and so that said connector can be selectively and slidably moved along the length of said standard;
• and,
• a plurality of flexible elongate strips, and means whereby each of said flexible elongate strips is removably carried along said cutout in each of said carrier members and onto which the date is recorded for display so that the display board can be assembled in any convenient size using said standards, said carrier members and said connectors by slidably mounting the same number of said connectors on each of said carrier members as the number of said standards to be used, slidably positioning said connectors along the length of each of said carrier members until each of said connectors aligns with one of said standards, and then connecting each of said connectors to one of said standards;
• and so that the order of said carrier members on said standards can be rearranged by individually removing any selected one of said carrier members and selectively sliding said carrier members still carried by said standards along said standards until the desired rearrangement is reached.
