Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
175 words
A display device adapted to be secured in display position to a supporting means and formed from a unitary flat piece of resilient transparent sheet material, said device including, a support portion for securing said device to said supporting means, a suspended portion, and an elongated spine portion connected at one end to said suspended portion and at the other end to the lower edge of said support portion, the elongated spine portion being sharply bent at its intersection with the lower edge of support portion when the device is in its display position on a supporting means, thereby to cause said spine portion to arch away from said support portion and maintain said suspended portion resiliently forward of and below said support portion, display matter applied to said suspended portion and adapted to be viewed when said device is in its display position, said spine portion being narrow relative to said support and suspended portions and being left transparent, thereby leaving said support portion substantially unobstructed from view by said spine and suspended portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
175 words
A display device adapted to be secured in display position to a supporting means and formed from a unitary flat piece of resilient transparent sheet material, said device including, a support portion for securing said device to said supporting means, a suspended portion, and an elongated spine portion connected at one end to said suspended portion and at the other end to the lower edge of said support portion, the elongated spine portion being sharply bent at its intersection with the lower edge of support portion when the device is in its display position on a supporting means, thereby to cause said spine portion to arch away from said support portion and maintain said suspended portion resiliently forward of and below said support portion, display matter applied to said suspended portion and adapted to be viewed when said device is in its display position, said spine portion being narrow relative to said support and suspended portions and being left transparent, thereby leaving said support portion substantially unobstructed from view by said spine and suspended portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A display device as in claim 1 wherein said support portion is elongated in a direction perpendicular to the length of said spine portion, to enable display matter to be applied thereto.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A display device as in claim 1 wherein said support portion is adapted to be secured to the edge of an article bearing shelf.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
