Flat panel display apparatus

A method of presenting a visual display as a floor assembly, comprising the steps of:

• arranging a flexible peripheral frame about the entire periphery of a transparent upper panel;
• securing a first end of a lower support panel in a shoulder member extending across only a first end of said frame, beneath said upper frame;
• placing support pads on a bottom side of said lower support panel to support both said lower and said upper panel;
• pivotably lifting up said frame and said upper panel about a first end of said frame;
• inserting a display media between said upper and lower panels;
• and
• lowering said upper panel and frame onto said lower panel to secure said upper and lower panels in a snug sealed display presenting relationship.

A frame panel apparatus for the ready presentation of flat media therein, comprising:

• a flexible frame arranged to define a peripheral support for a display;
• an upper transparent panel having a periphery entirely enclosed by said flexible frame;
• a lower support panel having a periphery with a only a portion thereof supported by a shoulder member of said flexible frame,
• wherein said frame is of rectilinear configuration, said shoulder member extending across a first end only, of said flexible frame, said upper panel being disposed in a sealing slot on an inner surface of said frame;
• said lower panel being shorter and narrower than said upper panel to permit ready arcuate separation therebetween, said lower panel being hingedly supported at a first end thereof, to a first end of said frame, said lower panel having a lower surface with an arrangement of support pads thereon, said support pad arrangement providing support for both said lower and said upper panel and wherein said upper panel and said lower panel are in close juxtaposition with respect to one another, whereby said flat media is pressed snugly between said upper panel and said lower panel for proper visual presentation therefrom, and for cleanliness of appearance.
