The invention relates to a structural part for a structural arrangement (10), the structural part (10) including a generally rectangular frame formed of four resiliently flexible frame elements (12.1, 12.2) connected together at their ends by connector pieces (14) that form the corners of the frame. The structural part includes also a flexible sheet element that is securely located on the frame and that spans the frame. The structural part (10) is collapsible by performing a manual twisting and folding operation on the frame to thereby provide a compact storage configuration of the structural part. A structural part (10) as defined, by itself or in combination with other similar structural parts or other components, can form a part of various different structural arrangements including a display device, a gazebo, a carport, and the like, these arrangements all permitting collapse into a more compact storage configuration by collapse of the or each structural part forming a part thereof.
A structural part for a structural arrangement, which includes an angular frame formed of resiliently flexible frame segments that each define a segment of the frame between two comers thereof, and a flexible sheet element that is securely located on the frame and that spans the frame, the structural part being collapsible by performing a manual twisting and folding operation on the frame to thereby provide a compact storage configuration of the structural part.
A structural part as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, in which the flexible sheet element is formed of one of a natural fabric material, a synthetic fabric material, and a synthetic plastics material.
A structural part as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, in which the flexible sheet element has printed display matter applied thereto.
A structural arrangement which includes a structural part, the structural part including an angular frame formed of resiliently flexible frame segments that each define a segment of the frame between two corners thereof, and a flexible sheet element that is securely located on the frame and that spans the frame, the structural part being collapsible by performing a manual twisting and folding operation on the frame to thereby provide a compact storage configuration of the structural part.
