Abstract
A portable display case includes four panels with adjacent panels being connected by pivots defining substantially parallel axes. The panels are pivotable between a closed position in which the panels are in face-to-face contiguous opposing relationship and an open position. Two center panels include handle members pivotally connected thereto at upper edges and wheelable members connected thereto at lower edges. The handle members and the wheelable members include recesses and projections for registering with projections and recesses, respectively, of adjacent outermost panel members. The recess and projections facilitate the stacking of identical portable displays atop each other. The handle members and the base members pivot through 180° for respectively latching and unlatching the panel members in their respective closed and open positions.
