Abstract:
A device for displaying information, comprising a wholly or partly transparent front plate (1; 16) having at least a partly curved or bent cross-section between a pair of essentially parallel first edges (2, 3), and having first and second abutment members (4, 5; 17, 18) arranged along respective essentially parallel second edges (2, 3) on the concave side of the front plate (1, 16), for retaining at least one flexible display sheet (6) of suitable size and rigidity to be snapped into a fixed, curved relationship with the front plate between the abutment members; and a supporting means (19; 30; 33; 41) for supporting the front plate (1; 16) against a supporting surface, (27); whereinthe abutment members are gripping edges for each display sheet (4,5; 17, 18), and wherein the supporting means consists of a support element (19; 30; 33; 39-41; 44-48) of a resilient material having opposite end portions (20, 21; 31, 32; 37, 38; 42, 43) that are shaped for releasable engagement with the gripping edges (4, 5; 17, 18) of the front plate (1; 16), the support element being shaped for resilient snap-in of its end portions into engagement with the gripping edges of the front plate, and for support of the front plate (1; 16) by an intermediate support portion of the support element between the end portions of the support element that is bent outwards and away from the concave side of the front plate.
