Abstract
A device for displaying sheets of promotional material includes a frame having a rear wall, a front wall, a pair of side walls, a top wall, and a bottom wall. The walls cooperate to define a sheet receiving cavity. A hinge can be provided for pivotally mounting the front wall or cover from the remainder of the frame. Alternatively, the cover can be a separate element secured by a catch to the remainder of the frame. A bracket construction is located on the rear wall for securing the frame to an associated support member. A slot is defined along one of the side walls for allowing the withdrawal of sheets, such as coupons and the like, one at a time from the cavity.
Claims24
A device for displaying and dispensing sheets of promotional material, comprising:
- a frame comprising:
- a rear wall and a front wall,
- a pair of side walls, and
- a top wall and a bottom wall, wherein said walls cooperate to define a sheet-receiving cavity;
- a hinge construction for pivotally mounting said front wall from the remainder of said frame;
- a securing means located on said rear wall for securing said frame to an associated support member;
- and,
- a slot defined along one of said side walls for allowing the withdrawal of sheets from said cavity, wherein said one of said side walls comprises a curved extension which orients sheets withdrawn in a direction approximately normal to a plane of said front wall.
A sheet dispenser device, comprising:
- a box-like frame member defining a cavity, said frame having an open front face;
- a cover selectively mounted on said frame member for closing said open front face of said frame member;
- a catch means for selectively securing said cover to said frame member;
- means for allowing sheets to be moved into and out of said cavity, said allowing means comprising:
- said open front face including a first opening for bulk loading the sheets into said cavity, and
- a second opening for dispensing individual sheets from the cavity;
- a sign;
- a clip having first and second ends, said sign being secured to said first end of said clip;
- and,
- a mounting structure located on a side wall of said frame opposite a side wall on which said second opening is located, said second end of said clip being selectively insertable into said mounting structure to secure said sign to said frame.
A sheet display and dispensing device comprising:
- a box-like frame member having a cavity, said frame having an open front face;
- a cover selectively mounted on said frame member for closing said open front face of said frame member;
- a catch means for selectively securing said cover to said frame member;
- a means for assisting the bulk loading of sheets into the cavity when said cover is not closing said open front face of said frame member;
- and,
- a dispensing opening for dispensing individual sheets from the cavity when said cover closes said open front face of said frame member, said dispensing opening being defined along a wall of said frame member, wherein said wall comprises a curved surface which orients sheets withdrawn in a direction approximately normal to a plane of said cover.
