Abstract
A display unit having a front face and a structure for supporting the front face in a vertical position when the display unit is in a use position. The supporting structure has an assembly element extending from a pair of sides of the front face and being folded over the front face. The supporting structure also has a traction member adapted to connect between the assembly elements for asserting a traction force thereto. The traction member, after being connected to the assembly elements, is movable between the use position and a storing position. In the use position the traction member forces the assembly elements toward each other so that the front face assumes a convex shape. In the storing position the traction member is forced to extend so the convex front face resumes a flat shape for convenient storage.
Claims16
A display unit comprising:
- a front face comprising a pair of sides;
- and
- a supporting structure for supporting the front face in a vertical position when the display unit is in a use position, the supporting structure comprising:
- an assembly element extending from at least a portion of each of said pair of sides of the front face, said assembly element being foldable over the front face;
- and
- a traction means connected between the assembly elements for asserting a traction force thereto;
- wherein the traction means is movable between the use position and a storing position after the traction means is connected to the assembly elements;
- wherein when the display unit is in the use position the traction means forces the assembly elements toward each other so that the front face assumes a convex shape, and when the display unit is in the storing position the convex front face resumes a flat shape for convenient storage.
