- a substantially rigid back cover to be attached to a mounting surface;
a substantially rigid front cover positioned in overlying relationship to the back cover for showing product identification information;
a substantially rigid panel having a grip portion and a support portion for holding an information sheet, the panel being generally interposed between and movable relative to the covers from a retracted position to an extended position, the panel in the retracted position having the support portion being in substantially underlying relationship to and hidden by the front cover and the grip portion projecting outwardly from an edge of the front cover for providing access to pull the panel to the extended position, the panel in the extended position having the support portion substantially projecting outwardly from the front cover, whereby the information sheet is hidden by the front cover when the panel is in the retracted position, and the information sheet is exposed when the panel is in the extended position; and
a flat strip spiral spring having one end coupled to the panel and another end coupled to the back cover for biasing the panel in the retracted position, the back cover defining an opening and a ledge positioned slightly below the opening and projecting rearwardly therefrom, a wound end of the spring being received through the opening and positioned on the ledge, the wound end of the spring being paid out inwardly through the opening when the panel is moved to the extended position.

The panel in the retracted position has the support portion underlying and hidden by the front cover and the grip portion projecting outwardly from the front cover for providing access to pull the panel to the extended position. The panel in the extended position has the support portion projecting outwardly from the front cover, whereby the information sheet is hidden by the front cover when the panel is retracted, and the information sheet is exposed when the panel is extended.
