       10 . An adjustable display device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first component includes two spaced apart circular walls, and the second component includes a central circular wall, which slots in between the two spaced apart circular walls, and wherein the two spaced apart circular walls and the central circular wall form the linking mechanism. 
   
   
       11 . An adjustable display device according to  claim 10 , wherein the walls include apertures, through which a pin projects to pivotally connect the first and second components together. 
   
   
       12 . An adjustable display device according to  claim 10 , wherein the latch means includes two circular discs on either side of the central circular wall of the second component. 
   
   
       13 . An adjustable display device according to  claim 12 , wherein the circular discs are housed in recesses. 
   
   
       14 . An adjustable display device according to  claim 13 , wherein the recesses are of greater depth than the depth of the discs, such that the discs can slide within the recesses. 
   
   
       15 . (canceled) 
   
   
       16 . An adjustable display device according to  claim 12 , wherein the discs include the plurality of radially spaced projections. 
   
   
       17 . An adjustable display device according to  claim 12 , wherein the corresponding radially spaced apertures are provided on the inside of the spaced circular walls. 
   
   
       18 . An adjustable display device according to  claim 17 , wherein the discs are spring biased towards the spaced circular walls, such that the projections are biased into engagement with the apertures. 
   
   
       19 . An adjustable display device according to  claim 3 , wherein the second component is formed from two sections, including a distal section that is adapted to display at least one item. 
   
   
       20 . An adjustable display device according to  claim 3 , wherein the second component is a single integral component. 
   
   
       21 . An adjustable display device according to  claim 7 , wherein the second component is formed from two sections, including a distal section that is adapted to display at least one item. 
   
   
       22 . An adjustable display device according to  claim 21 , wherein a button is provided, which when actuated, releases the latch means allowing the second component to be moved and latched into another selected position.
