Abstract
A modular display fixture which is strong and portable, yet easy to assemble and disassemble without the use of tools. A novel securement tab for securely connecting a plurality of display fixtures together to form a multi-fixture display system is also provided. The display fixture includes a support frame including a pair of parallel, spaced-apart support posts connected by a cross member, and a planar display panel removably mounted between the spaced-apart support posts. The support frame and the removable panel include novel connecting structure which allow the display fixture to be assembled and disassembled without the use of tools.
Claims6
A modular display fixture comprising:
- a support frame including a pair of parallel, spaced-apart tubular support posts connected by a cross member, said support posts presenting upper ends, said upper ends including structure defining a rectangular-shaped opening therein;
- a planar display panel removably mounted between said spaced-apart support posts;
- and
- an extension assembly including a pair of parallel, spaced apart tubular extension posts adapted for connecting with said support frame support posts to increase the height of said display apparatus, said extension posts presenting lower ends including downwardly extending tabs for insertion in said support post rectangular-shaped openings, said tabs being oriented to fit diagonally in said rectangular-shaped openings.
A display system comprising:
- a plurality of adjacent modular display apparatuses, each display apparatus including
- a support frame including a pair of parallel, spaced-apart support posts connected by a cross member, each of said support posts including a vertically extending upright member, said upright members each presenting interior and exterior faces, said upright members each including a plurality of connection pins extending from said interior faces and a plurality of orifices on said exterior faces, and
- a planar display panel removably mounted between said spaced-apart support posts and presenting left and right side margins, said left and right side margins each including a plurality of slots adapted for receiving said connection pins for mounting said planar display panel between said spaced-apart support posts;
- and securement means for securing said adjacent display apparatuses to one another, said securement means including a rectangular-shaped planar tab for insertion between said adjacent modular display apparatuses and a bolt assembly mounted transversely through said planar tab for coupling with said orifices on said outward faces of said upright members.
