Abstract
A message holder for use in vehicles or home or other building windows or the like provides for the display of a message inserted therein. The holder is formed of at least one sheet of transparent material and contains a central space in which a message, such as a bumper sticker, may be temporarily installed for display. Suspension rods are pivotally attached to opposite ends of the holder and have suction cups to provide for the attachment of the holder to any suitable surface. The suspension rods may be locked at any desired angle in order to allow a message displayed within the holder to be seen clearly even through a sloped window, as in the rear window of many vehicles. The holder provides for the temporary display of a bumper sticker or other message as desired without the need to adhesively secure the sticker to a surface and the resulting difficulty of subsequent removal and possible marring of the finish. An alternative version includes suction cups on attachment lugs extending from each end of the holder.
