Abstract
A display mount and book support apparatus includes a base panel adapted to sit on a surface along with a pair of angled panels each attached to one edge of the base panel with a ductile hinge and extending at an angle over the base panel. A pair of generally upright panels are each attached to one edge of one angled panel and extend in a generally vertically direction. The upright panels are spaced from each other in a generally parallel spaced relationship whereby books or other materials can be wedged between the upright panels and rest on one side of the base panel. The ductile hinges are of an increased rigidity over those normally used in the industry and have been alloyed with magnesium, copper, iron and manganese to thereby increase the resistance to bending.
Claims12
A display mount and book support comprising:
- a base panel having a plurality of edges and adapted to be set on a surface;
- a first panel attached by a ductile hinge to said base panel along one edge of said base panel and angled over said base panel;
- a second panel attached by a ductile hinge to said first panel along one edge of said first panel and extending generally orthogonal to said base panel;
- and
- a third panel attached by a ductile hinge to said base panel along a second edge of said base panel and being spaced from said first panel whereby a book or papers can be supported upright on said base panel between said second and third panels.
