Abstract
The present invention comprises a frame which has a transparent window, such as glass, secured within it. The frame is attached at the bottom by hinges to vertical support members which are to be mounted to the wall or other surface where the display frame is to be installed. As a result, when in place, the frame moves downward when opened. A damping device is connected between the frame portion and a support member to greatly restrict the speed of movement of the frame and to provide support for the frame as it is opened. Preferably, the frame is held open in a generally horizontal position by the limit of travel in the damper.
