Abstract
A stand to hold and display pieces of flat material such as carpet samples. The stand includes an upright spindle and a sample support structure. The sample support structure includes a support ring and a spreader or series of spreaders below the ring. The spreader projects radially outward beyond the support ring. Attachment devices releasably join the samples to the support ring and have a substantial dimension of length which allows the samples to hang so as freely to rest against each other and against the spreader in a shingled and spread-out relationship.
