Abstract
A portable display case includes two centermost and two outermost panel members mounted for pivotal movement relative to each other between panel face-to-panel face opposing relationship in substantially parallel planes in a closed position and in substantially side-by-side relationship in an open position. A carrying handle is mounted for reciprocal sliding movement relative to one of the panel members to permit the portable display case to be carried much in the manner in a briefcase or an attaché case. The outermost panels are each of an identical construction and the innermost or centermost panels are each of an identical construction providing interchangeability thereof. To the latter end, latches associated with side edges of the outermost panels are in asymmetrical relationship to each other. The centermost panel members also include recesses into each or both of which can be inserted a header in the closed position of the display case while upper edges of the centermost panel members have recesses or accommodating feet of the header in the display position.
