Abstract
Reusable modular display units constructed from corrugated board are disclosed, the units transportable in knock down form. The units can be assembled and interlocked together to form a modular display for advertising products and services. The units are preferably of trapezoidal design and interlock with units of similar design and construction in side-by-side, end-to-end or side-to-end relation.

A knock-down modular three-dimensional display unit which can be transported in flattened form and readily assembled at the use site, comprising:
- a linear strip of sheet material of greater length than width having fold lines extending the width thereof and dividing the sheet into four panels with the end panels having terminating flaps thereon for joining the respective end panels of the linear sheet material together to form an enclosed module;
- end flaps extending from each of the ends of the respective panels and joined to the respective panels by fold lines, the end flaps including means for interlocking the end flaps together to form end walls of the unit;
- and
- tabs formed within each of the end flaps, each tab bending along the fold line joining the end flap to its respective panel, the tabs having a width along the fold line less than the width of the tab at its upper end, the tabs adapted to interlock with tabs of an adjacent modular unit in side-by-side, end-to-end or side-to-end relation to form a three-dimensional display system, the unit, when assembled, having parallel end walls so that the units can be stacked atop one another to form a display system.
A knock-down modular three-dimensional display system employing multiple trapezoidal units, each unit capable of being flattened for transportation and readily assembled at the use site, each unit comprising in knock-down form:
- a linear piece of sheet material of greater length than width having fold lines extending the width dimension thereof and dividing the sheet into first, second, third and fourth panels with the first and fourth panels including end flaps for joining the first and fourth panels together to form a trapezoid having two parallel walls of unequal length joining non-parallel walls of equal length;
- end flaps extending from the respective ends of each of the panels, the end panels including means for interlocking the flaps together to form a first end wall on one end of the trapezoid unit and a second end wall on the other end of the trapezoid unit;
- tabs formed within each of the end flaps, each tab bending along the fold line joining the respective end flap to its respective panel, the tabs having a width along the fold line less than the width thereof at its upper end, the tabs arranged to interlock with the tabs of an adjacent trapezoid unit of similar design and construction in side-by-side, end-to-end or side-to-end relation to form a three-dimensional display.
