Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0791909A1] The holder consists of a base (1), with or without a spike (12) or clips, made with a series of projections (11) shaped to receive a number of hexagonal discs (2) with figures (21) printed on each side. The discs fit in the base so that one figure on each disc is displayed through a window (31) in a covering panel (3) which has a transparent panel (4) fitted over it. In a variant of the design the discs can be circular in shape and made with holes which fit over projecting pegs on the base.
