Abstract
A display assembly constructed of corrugated paperboard comprising two triangular vertical end columns with a center wall supported therebetween for affixing materials to be displayed and a header member affixed to the top of the two end columns and extending therebetween to provide lateral stability and serve as an additional display area. The display is manufactured to be delivered to the user in a flat knocked-down folded condition. The display is designed to be easily assembled by the user at the point of use without any tools or connectors other than those that are a part of and integral to the corrugated panels which are assembled to form the display.
Claims22
A display assembly comprising:
- a. a first end column;
- b. a second end column;
- c. a center wall disposed between the first and second end columns;
- and
- d. a header disposed between the first and second end columns and proximate to an upper portion of the center wall;
- wherein the end columns are connected to the center wall by insertion of a center wall end tab into a corresponding column locking door defined by a slit along a periphery of the locking door.
A connector for connecting corrugated paper members, comprising:
- a. locking door in the surface of a first corrugated paper member;
- b. a slot in the surface of the first corrugated paper member in communication with the opening of the locking door, and;
- c. an end tab positioned on an end of a second corrugated paper member, the end tab having an elongated notch therein, whereby upon insertion of the end tab of the second corrugated paper member into the slot of the first corrugated paper member and sliding the elongated notch of the second corrugated paper member away from the locking door along the slot until it is flush with the opening of the locking door, the locking door moves to a closed position and secures the two corrugated paper members together.
A display assembly comprising:
- a. a first end column;
- b. a second end column;
- c. a center wall disposed between the first and second end columns;
- and
- d. a header disposed between the first and second end columns and proximate to an upper portion of the center wall, the header having a lower part of a vertical rib and an upper part of a vertical rib, the upper and lower parts of the vertical rib being separated from one another by a wedge shaped cut out.
A display assembly comprising as members:
- a. a first end column;
- b. a second end column;
- c. a center wall disposed between the first and second end columns;
- and
- d. a header disposed between the first and second end columns and proximate to an upper portion of the center wall;
- wherein interconnection of the members to form the assembly is solely by fasteners or connectors formed integral to and part of each member;
- and wherein the assembly is free-standing.
