FIELD: technical means for displaying of canvas formed on transparent base made from synthetic and/or organic material, and also ceramics, fabricating stone or other material of artistic or other value.

SUBSTANCE: apparatus has inextensible threads, bracket and interlocking devices. Ends of inextensible threads with thickened portions are fixed in suspension casing cuts. Casing is secured in ceiling, on wall of pavilion or exhibit hall. Brackets are arranged in pairs on transparent base and in opposite relation with respect to one another on upper and lower faces of transparent base for securing in strictly predetermined position within exhibit hall space. Brackets are fixed on inextensible thread branches by means of interlocking devices. Brackets for fixing of transparent base in predetermined position in space are made from elastically deformed steel sheet and have dovetail-shaped section with legs shaped as hollow cylinders. Each pair of hollow cylinders has Ω-shaped lever which may be readily fixed in required position and dismantled. One of flat strips and curved back of bracket are equipped with openings. Diameter of openings exceeds by 3-8 times the diameter of inextensible threads inserted therein. Interlocking device for fixing bracket in working position is made L-shaped. Bracket and interlocking device are made as integral part from elastically deformed steel sheet. Vertical strip of interlocking device is joined with transparent base surface. Inclined strip joined with vertical strip has opening for fixing of bracket on inextensible thread. Chamfers are provided on opposite oriented working ends of axially aligned cylinders for fixing of Ω-shaped levers. Each leg of dovetail section has channel for mounting of Ω-shaped lever, said channel being formed between pair of hollow cylinders. Paired brackets for fixing of transparent base in predetermined position within said space are arranged in opposed relation with respect to one another on upper and lower faces of transparent base. Process window may be provided in each bracket between pairs of hollow cylinders on flat front and rear strips and on curved back of bracket for creating stable transverse base for retaining article to be displayed.

EFFECT: reduced time for arranging of exhibition and decreased labor intensity for preparing each exhibit item for displaying.
