Abstract
An advertisement display unit for use with the sidewall of a shopping cart basket, which display unit includes an enlarged platelike base member and a ring-shaped cover member hingedly coupled to the base member and swingable between an open position and a closed position wherein it overlies the base member for clamping a sheetlike advertisement therebetween. The cover and base members define a separable hinge structure which provides a desirable hinge connection which enables the cover member to swing to an open position and be supportingly maintained in the open position, but which also enables the cover member to be vertically lifted upwardly when in the open position so as to slidably separate the hinge to totally disconnect the cover member from the base member.
