the device can selectively be positioned. More specifically,
the display device (Figure 1a) includes a line of weakening
located approximately 3/4 of the way down from the top edge 6,
while an additional line of weakening 3N is located about 3/4
of the way up from edge 7 and functions in a manner similar to
line of weakening 3. Based upon the above locations of the
lines of weakening, it is apparent that the display device of
Kent, Jr. may fairly be said to include a major center
section, with the width of minor sections 5,5N being about
one-half the width of the center section. The line of
weakening 3 above the portion 5 is achieved by scoring the
rear and front surface of the device with conventional means
(column 3, lines 29 through 32). Integrally mounted in the
device (Figures 1a and 1b) and extending for its entire length
is a centrally disposed malleable wire member 4 which serves
to provide rigidity as well as strength to the device. As
further explained in Kent, Jr., the invention may also be
employed to display information in a horizontal plane. With
portions 5,5N folded, the display device is caused to rest on
an edge, whereby 5,5N aid in providing the requisite support
for the device.
