Abstract:
A frame element assembly suitable for forming a frame of a display holder, said frame element assembly comprising a base portion and a retaining leaf, the retaining leaf being mounted to the base portion in a manner which forms a pivot, said pivot comprising a substantially convex-shaped lug and a substantially concave-shaped channel, said lug and channel being adapted such that they nest together, the channel extending around less than half the circumference of the lug, the retaining leaf being held in a pivotal arrangement by a resilient biasing means, the assembly being adapted such that, the retaining leaf can pivot between an ""open"" position in which a display material can be inserted or removed from the display holder and a ""closed"" position in which a display material is captured between the retaining leaf and the base portion so as to be retained within the display holder, wherein the resilient biasing means acts directly on a pivotal region of the retaining leaf such that the retaining leaf is demountably mounted on the base portion when the display holder is in an assembled state.
