Abstract
A system for the vertical display of information provided on a plurality of cards or similar display members includes an extended heads on each display member. The extended heads are supported on each side by a pair of parallel slideways. Each slideway includes a plurality of vertical supports spaced therealong and paired with a support on the other slideway. Thus, a respective pair of supports serves to support an extended head of a display member and a series of display members so supported is created. A cascading mechanism is also provided for sequentially moving each display member in a cascade to a lower pair of supports when a new display member is introduced into the pair of slideways.
Claims13
A system for a vertical display of various information comprising:
- a plurality of display members, each said display member including a top edge, opposite side edges, a flat display surface for an information, and a member support means provided at the top edge of said display member for supporting said display member, said member support means including an elongated head extending at least along the entire length of the top edge of said display member and having a head end at each end of said elongated head;
- a pair of parallel slideways, each side slideway including (a) a retaining means for retaining a respective side edge of said display member adjacent thereto and (b) a series of supports vertically spaced along each said slideway, each said support of one said slideway forming one of a paired set of supports with a said support on the other side sideway such that on a respective paired set of supports respective said head ends of each said display member rest to support said display member and such that a plurality of said display members are individually supported one below another along said pair of slideways by respective said paired sets of supports and retained therein by said retaining means;
- and
- a cascading means for sequentially moving each said display member in a cascade to a lower adjacent set of supports when a new display member is introduced into said pair of slideways.
