Abstract
A display assembly for eyeglass frames, each having a bridge and spaced temples. A plurality of upright modules are arranged edge-to-edge to define a multi-sided geometrical configuration. Each module includes a forwardly projecting mid-portion defining a vertical front face. A plurality of upwardly opening hooks, having downwardly opening hook portions, project forwardly of the front face and each serve as a cradle for the bridge of an eyeglass frame. Horizontally spaced, generally planar side portions extend rearwardly of the vertical front face, and vertically extending convex edge portions are formed at the rear of the side portions. Spaced apertures are provided at the base of each convex edge portion through which the temples of the eyeglass frames can be extended, with the convex configurations of the edge portions serving to guide the temples into the apertures. Adjacent edges of adjacent upright modules are connected by male-female hinge sections which include stops to limit pivoting movement of adjacent modules in opposite directions.
