Abstract

An information and advertising display uses a self-coiling display media that can be mounted, for example, in the price strip on a shelf, or on a shopping cart. The display media is a plastic material that is self coiling, coiling from bottom to top of the display, so that the display media will roll itself up after being pulled down and then released. The display media is securely fastened to a mounting bracket at one end and is attached to a tube at the other end. A pull-down handle is loosely mounted in the tube so that the display media will coil around the tube when released.
