Abstract
A display for tradeshows and the like, the display having a framework configurable between erected and collapsed configurations, wherein when in the erected configuration, the framework includes a front, opposed ends, and vertical elongate members presented with the framework proximate the ends. A pair of resiliently flexible end panels can be removably wrapped around the ends of the framework in a flexed position. The panels having a vertical end panel magnetic strips operably magnetically engageable with one of the elongate members. Front display panels, also with magnetic strips, can be engaged with vertical elongate members. The end panels can be secured in place by being at least partially sandwiched between the magnetic strip of front panels and the vertical elongate member.
Claims26
A collapsible display comprising:
- a framework configurable between erected and collapsed configurations, wherein when in the erected configuration the framework comprises a front and opposed ends and has a height;
- an elongate vertical member associated with the framework proximate one of the ends when in the open configuration, the vertical member extending substantially the height of the erected framework;
- an end panel curvable around and thereby concealing the one of the ends of the framework, the end panel comprising an end panel magnet operably engageable with the elongate member;
- and
- a front panel engageable with and thereby concealing at least a portion of the front of the framework, the front panel comprising a front panel magnet engageable with the end panel magnet, such that a portion of the end panel magnet is operably sandwiched intermediate the elongate member and the front panel magnet.

A panel set for displaying graphics on a collapsible framework, the framework comprising a front and opposed ends and a vertical member presented therewith proximate one of the ends, the panel set comprising:
- an end panel concealing an end of a framework, the end panel comprising a resilient end panel sheet portion with four side edges and an end panel magnet along one of said side edges, the resilient end panel sheet portion flexible between a flat unflexed position and a curved flexed position for wrapping around one of the end of the framework, the magnet having a portion overlapping the resilient sheet portion and having a portion extending outwardly from the overlapping portion and not overlapping said resilient sheet portion, the end panel magnet operably magnetically engagable with the vertical member presented with the framework proximate the end;
- and
- a front panel attachable to at least a portion of a front of the framework, the front panel comprising a resilient front panel sheet portion and a front panel magnet selectively engageable with the end panel magnet, such that the end panel magnet is in overlapping engagement with the front panel magnet.
A method of setting up a display comprising:
- providing a framework configurable between open and closed configurations, wherein when in the open configuration the framework comprises a front and opposed ends;
- presenting an elongate vertical member with the framework proximate one of the ends when in the open configuration;
- concealing the one of the ends of the framework with an end panel comprising an end panel magnet thereon by operably engaging the end panel magnet with the elongate vertical member;
- and
- concealing at least a portion of the front of the framework with a front panel comprising a front panel magnet by operably engaging the front panel magnet with the end panel magnet and operably sandwiching the end panel magnet intermediate the elongate vertical member and the front panel magnet.

A display comprising:
- a framework configurable between erected open and collapsed transport configurations, wherein when in the erected open configuration the framework comprises a front and primarily vertically extending opposed ends;
- an elongate member coupleable in a vertical position with the framework proximate one of the ends when in the open configuration;
- a resiliently flexible end panel concealing the one of the ends of the framework, the end panel having inner and outer surfaces and opposed end panel margins, the end panel comprising an end panel magnet comprising first and second portions, the first portion being coupled with the inner surface of the end panel proximate one of the end panel margins and the second portion extending beyond the end panel margin, wherein the end panel magnet is magnetically engageable with the elongate member;
- and
- a front panel attachable to the framework thereby concealing at least a portion of the front of the framework, the front panel having opposed front and rear surfaces and opposed front panel margins, the front panel comprising a front panel magnet presented with the rear surface of the front panel proximate one of the front panel margins, wherein a major surface of the front panel magnet is selectively engageable with the portion of the end panel magnet extending beyond the end panel end margin, such that a substantially continuous display is presented on the framework between the front and end panels.

A display for tradeshows and the like, the display comprising:
- a framework configurable between an erected and a closed configuration, wherein when in the erected configuration the framework comprises a front and opposed ends;
- a support means presented with the framework proximate one of the ends when in the open configuration;
- an first concealing means configured to conceal the one of the ends of the framework, the first concealing means comprising a first attachment means operably engageable with the support means;
- and
- a second concealing means concealing at least a portion of the front of the framework, the second concealing means comprising a second attachment means selectively engageable with the first attachment means, such that the first attachment means is operably sandwiched intermediate the support means and the second attachment means.

A method of retrofitting an end panel for concealing an end of collapsible tradeshow display framework, the framework comprising a vertical member presented therewith proximate the end of the framework, the method comprising:
- providing an end panel comprising a resilient end panel sheet portion with four side edges and a first magnet strip along one of said side edges, such that the first magnet strip overlaps the resilient sheet portion, the resilient end panel sheet portion flexible between a flat unflexed position and a curved flexed position for wrapping around the end of the framework;
- and
- operably coupling a second magnet strip to the first magnet strip, such that the second magnet strip extends outwardly from the first magnet strip beyond the one of said side edges,
- wherein at least a portion the second magnet strip is operably magnetically engageable with the vertical member presented with the framework proximate the end, and
- wherein a front panel is attachable to at least a portion of a front of the framework, the front panel comprising a resilient front panel sheet portion and a front panel magnet selectively engageable with at least a portion of the second magnet strip, such that the second magnet strip is in overlapping engagement with the front panel magnet.
