Holder for displaying a sheet of material

Abstract

A holder for displaying a sheet of material is provided. The holder includes a back plate; a front plate configured for being removably received by the back plate; a display area defined by the front plate configured to display a sheet of material; and at least one stopper configured for being removably received within an opening of the back plate. The at least one stopper is friction fit between the front plate and the back plate. The at least one stopper makes friction contact with the lip portion and the front plate when the at least one stopper is friction fit between the front plate and the back plate. The at least one stopper prevents movement of the front plate when the at least one stopper is friction fit between the front plate and the back plate.

         5 . The holder according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one stopper prevents movement of the front plate when the at least one stopper is friction fit between the front plate and the back plate. 
     
     
         6 . The holder according to  claim 1 , wherein the front plate includes a notch, and wherein the at least one stopper makes contact with an inner surface of the notch when the at least one stopper is friction fit within the holder. 
     
     
         7 . The holder according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one stopper includes a groove for passage of the sheet of material therethrough. 
     
     
         8 . The holder according to  claim 1 , wherein an edge of the front plate is aligned with an edge of the back plate when the front plate is fully received within the back plate. 
     
     
         9 . The holder according to  claim 1 , wherein the sheet of material includes indicia thereon. 
     
     
         10 . The holder according to  claim 1 , wherein the front plate is substantially transparent. 
     
     
         11 . The holder according to  claim 1 , wherein the front plate is a magnifying lens. 
     
     
         12 . The holder according to  claim 1 , wherein the front plate is tinted. 
     
     
         13 . A kit for displaying a sheet of material, comprising:
 at least one back plate;   a plurality of front plates each configured for being removably received by the back plate;   a display area defined by each front plate and configured to display a sheet of material; and   at least one stopper configured for being removably received within an opening of the back plate, wherein the at least one stopper is friction fit between one of the plurality of front plates and the back plate.   
     
     
         14 . The kit according to  claim 13 , wherein the at least one back plate includes at least one back plate with a first size and at least one back plate with a second size different from the first size. 
     
     
         15 . The kit according to  claim 13 , the plurality of front plates are provided in multiple sizes and different colors, including multi-color and clear, for enabling replacement thereof. 
     
     
         16 . The kit according to  claim 13 , wherein the at least one back plate includes a lip portion defining a track along which a front plate of the plurality of front plates is slidably received by the back plate. 
     
     
         17 . The kit according to  claim 13 , wherein the back plate includes a back surface configured for mounting to a support surface. 
     
     
         18 . The kit according to  claim 16 , wherein the at least one stopper makes friction contact with the lip portion and the front plate when the at least one stopper is friction fit between the front plate and the back plate. 
     
     
         19 . The kit according to  claim 16 , wherein the at least one stopper prevents movement of the front plate when the at least one stopper is friction fit between the front plate and the back plate. 
     
     
         20 . The kit according to  claim 16 , wherein the front plate includes a notch, and wherein the at least one stopper makes contact with an inner surface of the notch when the at least one stopper is friction fit within the holder.
