Abstract
The information display system includes a base assembly adapted to attach to a mounting structure and a plurality of display panels coupled to the track system for movement with respect to the mounting structure. The display panels are adapted to present information selectively for display by pivotal and translating movement of the plurality of display panels. The track system may include at least one rail. The display panels may be cantilevered away from the track system at a vertical elevation to provide clearance below the display panels for a seated worker. A container may be adapted for coupling to the track system. The container may provide at least one display panel adapted to reveal or conceal information.

A transportable information display system for use in a work environment providing a work space and configured for association with a mounting structure comprising:
- a base assembly having a base frame adapted for selective coupling to and removal from the mounting structure;
- at least one container adapted for selective removable coupling to the base assembly and also adapted for pivotal movement and translating movement with respect to the mounting structure;
- wherein the at least one container is adapted to provide at least one display panel with a surface configured to display information;
- so that information is capable of being selectively revealed or concealed at least (a) by installation or removal of the at least one container and (b) by movement of the at least one container with respect to the mounting structure and (c) by installation or removal of the at least one display panel from the at least one container.
A transportable information display system for use in a work environment and configured for association with a mounting structure within a work space comprising:
- a base assembly providing a track system and adapted for selective removable coupling to the mounting structure so that the work space can be reconfigured by installation or removal of the base assembly from the mounting structure;
- at least one container adapted for selective removable coupling to the track system;
- wherein the at least one container is adapted to provide at least one display panel including a first surface and a second surface each configured to display information and is also adapted for pivotal movement through a first range of motion and translating movement through a second range of motion with respect to the mounting structure;
- so that information is capable of being selectively revealed or concealed at least (a) by installation or removal of the at least one container and (b) by movement of the at least one container through the first range of motion or the second range of motion with respect to the mounting structure and (c) by installation or removal of the at least one display panel from the at least one container.
A transportable information display system configured for association with a mounting structure and for use by a worker within a work space comprising:
- a base assembly providing a track system and adapted for selective removable noninvasive coupling to the mounting structure so that the work space can be selectively reconfigured by installation or removal of the base assembly from the mounting structure;
- at least one container adapted for coupling to the track system and for movement to provide a plurality of orientations with respect to the mounting structure;
- wherein the at least one container is adapted for pivotal movement and translating movement with respect to the mounting structure so that when the at least one container is in a first orientation the work space is divided into a first work area and a second work area and when the at least one container is in a second orientation the work space is undivided.
A transportable information display system configured for association with a mounting structure and for use by a worker within a work space comprising:
- a base assembly configured for non-invasive coupling to the mounting structure and providing a track system and adapted for selective removable coupling to the mounting structure;
- at least one container adapted for coupling to the track system and for movement to provide a plurality of orientations with respect to the mounting structure and adapted for pivotal movement and translating movement with respect to the mounting structure so that when the at least one container is in a first orientation the work space is divided into a first work area and a second work area and when the at least one container is in a second orientation the work space is undivided;
- wherein a territorial appearance of the work space can be selectively reconfigured by installation or removal of the base assembly from the mounting structure.
