Multiple display retainer

Abstract

The present multiple display retainer device is directed to a single polymer extrusion used to retain and display paper, card stock and posters of varying sizes at schools, offices and conference rooms. The device has the capability of retaining one or more articles on the upper side pressure contact area flange, one or more in the central cavity inside surface arid one or more on the lower side pressure contact area flange. Any of the articles held by the retainer may be removed separately without disturbing the other articles.

       4 . The multiple display retainer according to  claim 3 , wherein said longitudinal ridge is square in shape. 
   
   
       5 . The multiple display retainer according to  claim 3 , wherein said longitudinal ridge is round in shape. 
   
   
       6 . The multiple display retainer according to  claim 2 , wherein said multiple display retainer has been cut down said, central groove into two half sections. 
   
   
       7 . The multiple display retainer according to chitin wherein said upper pressure contact flange and said lower pressure contact flange have an integrated barbed section. 
   
   
       8 . The multiple display retainer according to  claim 7 , wherein said multiple display retainer further comprises hanger clips which removeably attach to said integrated barbed section located on said upper and lower pressure contact flanges. 
   
   
       9 . The multiple display retainer according to  claim 1 , further comprising a level vial which fits into said lower pressure contact flange for achieving proper leveling of said multiple display retainer. 
   
   
       10 . The multiple display retainer according to  claim 7 , having a central cavity wherein said central cavity includes a central groove for facilitating cutting the multiple display retainer into two half sections, and further including a longitudinal ridge located between said central cavity and said upper pressure contact flange and a longitudinal ridge located between said central cavity and said lower pressure contact flange, wherein said longitudinal ridge is Square or round in shape. 
   
   
       11 . A method for making a multiple display retainer, comprising the steps of:
 (a) providing an elongated scalable extruded portion having a central cavity;   (b) providing upper pressure contact area flanges, and lower pressure contact area flanges extending from said central cavity;   (c) providing said elongated scalable extruded portion that is extruded to be configured at an angle X relative to the wail plane with angle X varying depending upon the display holding pressure desired; and   (d) arranging display materials that are capable of being retained both on the outside and the inside portions of said upper and lower pressure contact flanges, in both the upward and downward directions, and in between said upper and lower pressure contact flanges, whereby said flanges have curved in portions able to accept display materials.   
   
   
       12 . The method for making a multiple display retainer, according to  claim 11 , wherein said step of providing a central cavity includes the step of providing, a central cavity wherein said central cavity includes a central groove for facilitating cutting the multiple display retainer into two half sections. 
   
   
       13 . The method for making a multiple display retainer, according to  claim 11 , wherein said step of providing a central cavity includes the step of providing a central cavity wherein said central cavity and said upper and lower pressure contact flanges include a longitudinal ridge located between said central cavity and said upper pressure contact flange and a longitudinal ridge located between said central cavity and said lower pressure contact flange. 
   
   
       14 . The method for making a multiple display retainer, according to  claim 13 , wherein said step of providing a longitudinal ridge located between said central cavity and said upper pressure contact flange and a longitudinal ridge located between said central cavity and said lower pressure contact flange, includes providing a longitudinal ridge that is square in shape.
