In this way, each sample will be displayed in a substantially horizontal position--for proper viewing--and each sample is fully visible when the overlapping sample is flipped-over, the flipped-over samples do not require holding in their flipped-over position, but rather are naturally supported in that position. Each clamp may comprise an integral structure of resilient material having a pair of legs adapted to clamp the carpet sample therebetween, one of the legs providing an inclined portion for guiding a rod-receiving portion of the clamp into clamping engagement with a mounting rod disposed on the second support member. A stand may be provided for supporting the first support member in a subst…
