Modular display

Abstract

A preferably particle board box forms a base with a rectangular recess therein. A panel of slats that is formed of molded thermoplastic material has opposite edges attached to mating posts. The posts are formed from a common extruded thermoplastic tube and each have a longitudinally extending channel for receiving a panel edge which may be bonded thereto. An uppermost section is formed of like panel and post material as all of the section modules and is secured to the next lower intermediate section by post connectors comprising molded plastic U-shaped members which are locked to and protruding depending from the core of the upper section posts. The connectors mate in closely received releasable engagement with the open cores of the posts of the next lower section. The intermediate section module has depending connectors protruding from its posts for mating in the cores of the upper ends of the bottommost section module which is closely received in the support box recess and optionally screwed thereto. A header formed of molded U-shaped thermoplastic sheet overlies the uppermost section module. Headers of different configurations may also be used. The assembly is assembled and knocked down quickly generally without tools or complex fastener elements.
