Abstract

A display device comprises a flat sleeve (16) in which two moveable members (40, 56) are slidably mounted. One of the members (40) can be pulled from one end of the sleeve in one direction, and the other moveable member (56) is connected to said one moveable member (40) via an endless band within the sleeve so that it slides in the opposite direction. An aperture is formed part-way along the sleeve so that both moveable members can be seen. As the members move apart, they reveal a display portion (82). The sleeve (16) and moveable members (40, 56) can be printed with advertising or promotional matter, and the display panel can be printed with a message which is revealed when the members (40, 56) move apart. In a further embodiment, the moveable members overlap each other behind the aperture, and in another embodiment said other moveable member is fashioned as an indicator which moves across the aperture in the opposite direction to the direction of pull of said one moveable member.
