1. A display device comprising:

  • a front cartridge section against which objects are to be stacked, one against the other, in a first line;

    said front cartridge section further having a front wall with a rearwardly facing surface and spaced side walls which define in conjunction with the front wall surface a receptacle for said objects to be displayeda first strip wound about itself to define a first coil with a first axis;

    a second strip wound about itself to define a second coil with a second axis;

    means for connecting the strips to the front cartridge section so that the first and second axes are each substantially perpendicular to the first line; and

    a rear cartridge section having first and second legs which are extendable at least partially through the first and second coils,whereby by moving the rear cartridge section away from the cartridge section in said first line, with the first and second legs extended into the first and second coils, the legs cause the first and second coils to unwind so that a force is developed by said first and second strips tending to draw the rear cartridge section toward the front cartridge section so that said objects to be displayed can be resiliently captured in a display position between the front and rear cartridge sections,said first and second strips being the sole means for providing a force urging the rear cartridge section toward the front cartridge section.
