       15 . The display frame of  claim 12  wherein said body is comprised of a substantially hollow shell.  
   
   
       16 . The display frame of  claim 12 , wherein said body is inflatable.  
   
   
       17 . The display frame of  claim 12 , wherein said body is adjustable in shape and size.  
   
   
       18 . The display frame of  claim 12  further comprising a shoe support connectable to the base support, wherein said bracket attachment is comprised of a support rod insertable into the shoe support on one end and secured to said body at its other end.  
   
   
       19 . A portable display frame useful in displaying a cover, where the cover is formed to wrap around an object, said display frame comprising:
