Abstract
A device for displaying inflated balloons, particularly pillow-shaped MYLAR-type balloons has a closed perimeter formed from at least one downwardly-open channel member. The downwardly-open channel member has a width slightly larger than the thickness of the balloons displayed therein, so the balloons are restrained in a position to allow display of one of the generally planar surfaces of the balloon through the outwardly facing surface of the channel member. A top retaining member, comprised of either a ceiling to which the perimeter is attached or a grid-like member attached to the perimeter and suspended from the ceiling, acts with the perimeter to form a downwardly-open cavity in which additional inflated balloons may be stored for sale.
