A holder for displaying a printed sheet on a support wall such as the front face of a vertical machine includes a back plate and a cover plate. The back plate and the cover plate can be assembled together in a snap-fit relationship and the cover plate can be subsequently removed from the back plate.

A holder for displaying a printed sheet on a support wall such as the front face of a vertical machine includes a back plate and a cover plate. The back plate and the cover plate can be assembled together in a snap-fit relationship and the cover plate can be subsequently removed from the back plate. The back plate can be secured to the support wall. The back plate has a front face and a channel formed around the perimeter thereof. The channel rigidifies the back plate and serves to space the back plate from the wall. The cover plate includes a flange which extends around substantially the entire perimeter of the cover plate. The cover plate further includes an inner surface which can be placed adjacent the front face to maintain the printed sheet in a flat position within the display holder.

A holder for displaying a printed sheet on a support wall, comprising: (A) a back plate having a planar support surface and a channel formed around substantially the entire perimeter of said support surface to rigidify said back plate and to space said support surface from a support wall when said channel is placed against said support wall; (B) a cover plate comprising a front face and a flange which extends around substantially the entire perimeter of said front face, said flange fitting into said channel and cooperating with said channel to position said support surface and a rear surface of said front face parallel to and spaced from one another; and (C) means for snap fitting said back plate to said cover plate; wherein said snap-fitting means includes: (1) a first notch formed in said back wall and said outer wall, said notch being located at a first end of said back plate, said notch defining a first, resilient transverse beam in said outer wall; (2) a first boss formed on a resilient tongue formed in said flange of said cover plate, the relative resiliency of said first transverse beam and said tongue permitting said first boss to be snap-fit past said first transverse beam and inserted and retained behind said resilient transverse beam when said resilient tongue is inserted into said first notch; (3) a second notch formed in said back wall and said outer wall, said second notch being located at a second end of said back plate which is opposite from said first end, said second notch defining a second transverse beam in said outer wall; (4) a second boss on said flange of said cover plate, said second boss being insertable into said second notch and, when so inserted, being retained behind said second transverse beam; wherein said channel has a generally U-shaped cross-section designed to receive said flange; said channel including an inner wall which extends from said support surface in a first direction, a back wall which extends from said inner wall and generally parallel to said support surface, and an outer wall which extends from said back wall in a direction which is generally parallel to and opposite to said first direction.
