Abstract
A display unit for displaying sheet materials includes a channel support member and a plurality of channel members connected to the channel support member. Each of the channel members includes a pair of channel arms defining a channel shape. The channel arms extend outward from the base point and converge at a contact point disposed between a base point and distal ends of the channel arms. The channel arms preferably diverge beyond the contact point such that the distal ends are flared. Preferably, the channel members are formed integral with the channel support member by being extruded or cast from a plastic or other material. The display unit has a simple construction and is thus easy and inexpensive to manufacture. The display unit can be used laying flat, standing vertically, or hanging. The display unit can display multiple items and the items can be of various sizes, shapes and orientations.
