5. The mounting structure of claim 3 wherein each compliant member is formed at least in part of an elastomeric material.
6. The mounting structure of claim 3 wherein the compliant members include a plurality of projections.
7. The mounting structure of claim 3 wherein the compliant members include a plurality of ribs.
8. The mounting structure of claim 3 wherein the compliant members are grip members.
9. The mounting structure of claim 8 wherein the grip members are mounted to the frame.
10. The mounting structure of claim 8 wherein the grip members are curved.
11. The mounting structure of claim 8 wherein the grip members are straight.
12. The mounting structure of claim 8 wherein the grip members include a plurality of fins.
13. The mounting structure of claim 12 wherein the fins are deformable and the display board may be retained between at least two fins of each grip member.
14. The mounting structure of claim 2 wherein the compliant members apply a securing force to the display board.
15. The mounting structure of claim 1 wherein the retaining members includes at least two compliant retaining members.
16. The mounting structure of claim 1 wherein the frame is mobile.
17. The mounting structure of claim 1 wherein the frame is an easel and the platform is a tray rigidly connected to the easel.
18. A mounting structure for display of at least one display board comprising:
an easel;
a retaining system including a pair of spaced apart retaining members coupled to the easel wherein the portions of the retaining members directly coupled to the easel are non-moveable and an internal width between the pair of retaining members is adapted to be less than the width of the display board; and
a tray coupled to the easel for supporting the display board thereabove;
wherein the display board can be press fit into secure engagement between the retaining members.
19. The mounting structure of claim 18 wherein at least one of the retaining members is compliant.
20. The mounting structure of claim 19 wherein each compliant member is formed at least in part of an elastomeric material.
21. The mounting structure of claim 19 wherein the compliant members are grip members.
22. The mounting structure of claim 21 wherein the grip members are curved.
23. The mounting structure of claim 4 wherein the grip members include a plurality of deformable fins and the display board may be retained between at least two fins of each grip member.
24. The mounting structure of claim 18 wherein the easel is mobile.
25. The mounting structure of claim 18 further comprising a tray coupled to the easel for supporting the display board thereabove.
26. A mounting configuration comprising:
a display board;
a frame; and
a retaining system including a pair of horizontally spaced apart retaining members coupled to the frame wherein the portions of the retaining members directly coupled to the frame are non-moveable and an internal width between the pair of retaining members is adapted to be less than the width of the display board;
wherein the display board press fit into secure engagement between the retaining members.
27. The mounting structure of claim 26 wherein at least one of the retaining members is compliant.
28. The mounting structure of claim 26 wherein the retaining members includes at least two compliant retaining members.
29. The mounting structure of claim 28 wherein each compliant retaining member is deformable.
30. The mounting structure of claim 29 wherein at least one of the retaining members includes at least one elastomeric grip member.
31. The mounting structure of claim 29 wherein the compliant members include a plurality of projections.
32. The mounting structure of claim 26 wherein the frame is mobile.
33. The mounting structure of claim 26 further comprising a platform coupled to the frame for the display board.
34. The mounting structure of claim 33 wherein the frame is an easel and the platform is a tray rigidly connected to the easel.
