Abstract

An elongated display assembly for removably inserting and simultaneously displaying a plurality of separate flexible and generally flat items to be displayed comprises an elongated open display housing having a flat back panel with an upper front flange and a lower front flange extending along the length and an upper channel and a lower channel extending along the length between the flat back panel, upper front flange and the lower front flange. The channels are for receiving upper and lower respective edges of items to be displayed. The back panel has an elongated score or notch extending along its length capable of separating the panel into an upper frame member and a lower frame member. The front of the display housing is open for removably securing a plurality of separate display items from the front.

1 . An elongated display assembly for removably securing and simultaneously displaying a plurality of separate flexible and generally flat items to be displayed therein comprising: 
 an elongated open display housing comprising an upper frame member having a back panel and an upper front flange extending along the length thereof, and a lower frame member having a back panel and a lower front flange extending along the length therefore, and an upper channel and a lower channel extending between each said back panel and said upper and lower front flanges, respectively, said upper and lower frame members being of the same length and separated from one another in parallel alignment with the ends thereof aligned along a substantially vertical axis, and an end cap member secured at each end thereof whereby said parallel and vertical alignments are maintained.    
   
   
       2 . A display assembly of  claim 1  including a plurality of separate flexible and generally flat items secured therealong and one or more elongated transparent covers removably secured along the length thereof between said items and said upper and lower front flanges  
   
   
       3 . A display assembly of  claim 1  wherein said end cap members comprise means for altering the length thereof whereby the distance between the upper and lower frame members may be selectively altered.  
   
   
       4 . A display assembly of  claim 1  wherein said end cap members comprise an elongated bar or slat having a rib extending therealong for being secured in the upper and lower channels whereby the distance between separated upper and lower frame members is maintained.  
   
   
       5 . A display assembly of  claim 1  wherein said end cap members comprise an elongated bar or slat having a plurality of protuberances therealong for being secured in said upper and lower channels whereby the distance between separated upper and lower frame members is maintained.  
   
   
       6 . A display assembly of  claim 1  wherein said end cap members comprise an elongated bar or slat having a groove therealong for securing said upper and lower flanges therein.  
   
   
       7 . A display assembly of  claim 1  wherein said end cap members are of substantially the same length.  
   
   
       8 . A display assembly of  claim 6  wherein said end cap members are of a length for maintaining substantially parallel upper and lower frame members.
